Blimey

Same, but I think what we’ve got is even worse with unis and publishers all offering essentially the same thing

The QR codes at Monash ladies loos in 2016 promising to write everything was a precursor to LLMs doing everything for you. Difference now is the LLMs are free

But why do students want to use this? Why are they using LLMs?

It’s also not understanding what people would use that platform for - climate emergency realtime bushfire updates, local news (why is there a police chopper over my backyard), hyper specialised interest groups. There’s no point being there is your need isn’t serviced

I would add emergency/news information that stopped appearing on the bad site. I shudder to think what Australia’s next bushfire season will be like without realtime updates from the RFS and ABC

Highly suspect post. How and when did the knitting nannas go global? Why are both of their granny squares identical. Are there any photos of the knitting nannas wearing these tshirts?

Like wtf: For example, as [x] pursued his Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Technology Sydney, he found himself surrounded by some of the greatest minds in business.

I stumbled upon this LinkedIn profile. And children, this is why you shouldn’t use LLMs

There’s a biography of Sylvester that I really want to read

I don’t want to be that person, but today is the day I am that person. It’s not a flan

and I feel fine

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Very few people in Australia understand the importance of migration to Australia’s economy so whatever.

Same. I was a million miles from New York City, but I bought a suit jacket to try and look like Annie Hall, and I never stopped loving Diane Keaton. Properly sad she's gone ❤️

If you need somewhere to stay when fleeing this regime ….

It’s already happening. What blows my mind is how actually learning something has become so quickly devalued. The joy of learning means nothing to the qualification earned. The job earned from the qual will absolutely be taken by AI

I don’t even know what to do with this heartbreak and frustration that no government appears ready to deal with the dreadful changes coming

When on Hard Quiz, I chose to use an oblique reference to a Kate Bush song for what I’d do with the big brass mug. Regretting that choice now, would like a Time Machine to change it to my knitting needles, come the revolution

Oh that is brilliant!

Oh I wish I was in sydders!

You see it again and again online, sometimes from people who have actual reputations to uphold, and it never gets any less fascinating.

The *total* inability to go ‘oh silly me, my bad’.

Pamphlet about Brunswick in the Great Depression. Did the walk with the group today lead by Professor Joan Beaumont, absolutely fascinating

My neighbour’s artichoke - all purple and green

My cat Wacket, black cat backlit by afternoon sun

Things that delighted me today

If a ceasefire holds, you boycott Israel HARDER, you divest, you push for sanctions. You don't perform for apartheid. You don't whitewash genocide. You don't pretend like Israel isn't still a violent occupier stealing land and collectively punishing Palestinians daily

In #Melbourne #Australia the police issued a statement to stop calls to the emergency number after people spotted “demon hunters” and other anime characters roaming the city’s streets (on the way to a convention).

Incidents which were mistakenly described as antisemitic incidents by NSW Police 20-Mar-24 A Palestinian protestor was sitting outside Anthony Albanese MP's office when a man approached, made remarks about hostages, and verbally abused the demonstrators, calling them 'anti-Semites." He then damages a Palestinian banner taped to a pole, returned shortly after to repeat the act, and stomped on the banner's frame.
