Bid to boost $200k NDIS package rejected after AI use found The National Disability Insurance Agency warned about cut-and-paste medical reports. Throw artificial intelligence in and the results are even worse.

For all the students at the social work uni intensive who told me they now use AI at work to write up case reports:

Most unfair. IMO Brereton hasn't bungled anything. He's only tried to do exactly what he was hired to do - to make it all disappear from public view. #auspol nacc.gov.au

So there’ll be the Batshit Crazy Liberal Party, and the We Hate Women Liberal Party? I guess the traitorous twerp can’t make up his mind.

Give everyone in Britain a shovel, and they can dig down to hell to deliver Maggie a birthday cake.

The Vic Libs have been out of Government so long they’re getting desperate. Hungry donors need access to public money.

For the first time, scientists can show the impact of gas project emissions Fossil fuel companies and governments have argued it’s not possible to link climate impacts to specific projects, but Australian researchers have done the numbers.
