I'm disappointed they didn't just tack it on to esafety and call it a day

Look I'm not saying that the person who thinks you flick buttons doesn't understand the pitfalls to look out for when dealing without llm output, but I'll just say I'm looking forward to the next time I read about her firm's involvement with llms, and especially what the judge has to say about it

Cowards!

/13 Why? For proximity to power. For prestige. For attention.

Some tongues were made to praise God. Some tongues were made to sing. Some were made for poetry, some for prose, some to agitate and some to soothe.

Appointment to the National Library of Australia Council The Albanese Labor Government has appointed the Hon Christopher Pyne as a member to the National Library of Australia Council for a three-year term.

What a brain-dead dumb, completely shite appointment. @tonyburkemp.bsky.social

ok bluesky Also needs to better collate notifications i do not want to see (17) and 16 of them are likes/reposts on the same post

Although I guess putting resources into features instead of safety does say something, heh.

I think we'd have to agree to disagree there, I don't think it's useless to everyone, and as long as people can reasonably decide on whether the risk is personally worth it for them I'm not fussed. No arguments on them having safety concerns unaddressed, but this seems separate?

Ah yeah, that's fair. No arguments that BlueSky hasn't spent a fair amount of time shooting off their own toes.
When I think about the few companies I trust it's the ones that are very forthright about why they exist, what they're doing, and especially how they're doing business (funding etc).

Yeah, if companies get the same response whether they do the right thing or the wrong thing, there's no incentive to do the right thing.

Think I'll just park this here.

Who would have guessed that the ad company stealing page contents to serve you without visiting the pages would save them countless billions in ad payouts.

Ah yeah good plan. I just had a thought to, was this on a bill or read from the meter? If it's the bill it might be their estimate rather than actual usage

Yikes, can you turn off the flow at the meter? Your pilot light will go out but that seems less-bad

My party??

Uni Melb dodges questions on financial bids to save Meanjin and denies external pressure over journal's axing

In a Senate inquiry, Melbourne University sidestepped a question over offers from external parties to purchase or take over the 85-year-old journal, and denied that external pressures contributed to its closure.

I was impressed by this statement by Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Jillian Segal, in response to the nazi rally at the NSW state parliament yesterday:

Fuckin yikes

Not for much longer I hope

Police allowed Nazi rally outside NSW parliament More than 60 people attended Saturday morning’s rally after notifying police more than a week ago. The police commissioner said he had no idea it was going to happen.

NSW Police:
