How Meta: the bots think I'm a bot - Warwick Holt - Media Empire A baffled account of failing to join Instagram when their robots can't be convinced that I'm not one of them

It took just two days for me to go from opening an #Instagram account to have it shut down for impersonating myself. Despite providing an ID and selfie, despite posting nothing, the bots couldn't be convinced that I wasn't one of them. Talk about #Meta

The Facts Missing From The Australia Day Argument - Warwick Holt - Media Empire Does January 26 actually mark the arrival of the British on our shores - or the French? Would March 3 make a better national day? From The Project, by Warwick Holt.

Ah, January 26, the day that tall ships arrived at Botany Bay - from France. Happy Snailia Day!

Jon Stewart is masterful at satirising this self-satirising president. He's got the best despairing pause face since a freshly-shot Daffy Duck.

A Google search for "perth further north than sydney".
The AI Overview contains the response "No, Perth is not further north than Sydney; Sydney is further north than Perth. Perth is located at approximately 31.95° S latitude, while Sydney is at approximately 33.87° S latitude. A lower degree of latitude in the Southern Hemisphere indicates a position closer to the equator, making Perth the more northerly city of the two. 

Gee Google's good these days #AI

Two First Fleet convicts (plated by Angus Sampson and Dave Lawson) stand outside a tent in the Australian bush, looking at each other. A caption reads "D'ya hear? BRUCE is back on the big screen at Melbourne WebFest." At the bottom are the logos of BRUCE THE SERIES and Melbourne WebFest.

It's the 10th anniversary edition of Melbourne WebFest this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing loads of great web series and I'm extra-chuffed that Bruce has been selected as one of the highlights of the decade for Sunday's Legacy Screenings. Tickets and full program at melbournewebfest.com

A Productivity Commission Submission on AI in Australia - Warwick Holt - Media Empire A response regarding AI regulation and protecting culture to the Australian Government's Productivity Commission's Interim Report on Harnessing Data and Digital Technology

The difference between training an #AI model on original IP and the end use of that model is equivalent to the difference between mining ore and driving a car.

Pleased to see the Productivity Commission have now published my response to their deeply-flawed Interim Report.

Senate Environment and Communications References Committee | 30/09/2025 YouTube video by Australian Parliament House Streaming Portal

Worth watching Senators Hanson-Young, Henderson and Pocock call the Productivity Commission out on the BS underpinning their Interim Report on AI and Data, based on estimates of productivity impacts for AI when they don't even know the productivity of the creative industry (2.5% of GDP). #auspol
