Part of the response is to give Fail grades to students who plainly haven’t read the course materials, who repeat fabricated law as fact and whose analysis of legal problems is worthless . “Ethical” use of generative AI - hah! More like you’ll be fired or on professional misconduct charges or both.

That’s why I’ve asked to use that quote too. They hear enough from me on the subject of legal analysis in trade marks law. It lets them know I Am Not Alone on use of AI. If you haven’t learned the lessons, not developed critical thinking skills then you’ll find it very hard to detect AI bullshit.

Martin, may I use this quote - with attribution of course? This is the message I need to deliver to postgraduate law students. Some of them think studying the course materials is optional, that we can’t detect it, if they cite fake authorities for propositions of law they plainly don’t understand.

But apparently everyone is too hung over from New Years Eve. A better date is 3 March to commemorate the Australia Acts 1986 coming into force on 3 March 1986. That’s when Australia finally became fully sovereign and independent from the UK. It’s the end of summer, beginning of autumn. Perfect! (3)

But an even better date for Australia Day is 3 March, to commemorate 3 March 1986 when the Australia Act 1986 came into force. That’s the day when Australia became a fully sovereign nation and completely independent from the United Kingdom. (3)

I have difficulty celebrating it as a result. Especially as there are much better dates to celebrate the foundation of Australia as a nation. The 1st of January when the Australian Constitution came into effect on 1 January 1901.

It’s Australia Day, 26th January 2025 - the date the colony of New South Wales was proclaimed by Captain Arthur Philip for England. It is rightly called Invasion Day by Indigenous people in Australia - the start of colonisation.
Every year there are calls to change the date of Australia Day(1)

The Navajo will be obliged to carry their ID papers all the time to prove their citizenship of the USA - for the crime of walking about while brown. While Navajo country is their inalienable birthright from which they cannot be removed … it makes no sense.

Up and working for the planet!

It was only last year that they finally let me donate blood in Australia. Huh, BSE. Good ole British O negative wasn’t good enough for them.

I was certainly a right little tit when I was in the TikTok teen demographic.

Yes. One of his billionaire buddies will be allowed to buy buy it. Apparently then it will be alright to make use of all that user data

Still available outside the US.

“Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.” He outlived his usefulness.

It will be “saved” so that one of his billionaire followers can buy it.

Morning Rob!

Unless a restaurant is feeding the poor for free, their mission is obvious and I don’t need to know it.

And I’ve yet to see the website affected by me doing this.

I have to use two factor ID to log into work and I do understand the security concerns that prompt its use. That said, for general websites I look for the privacy policy and then turn off every cookie I can, particularly anything linked to “improving my user experience” and marketing.

Crimson rosellas and cockatoos: bite my apple tree and the shoots off my roses.

Those earlier Australian PMs didn’t face a sizeable cross-bench of community based independents. It is a recipe for minority government.

It’s too bad that the citations or sources it produces often don’t exist or aren’t authority for the proposition they are cited for. That simply replaces one form of busywork with another.

That’s a near certainty. It will specialise in stating the bleeding obvious, supported by fake references.

It’s one of those basic needs - a safe place to lay your head at night - and it should be a human right as well.

I love owls. Some are cute and cuddly and then there are our local Powerful Owls. I’d get behind an owl starter pack.

Surely these are your qualifications for becoming the Bluesky cat czar?

Common ringtail possum sitting in a giant tree fern

So yesterday, we had some gardening done - and woke this little ringtail possum from its daytime nap. The little possum is fine and went back to bed afterwards. #australianwildlife #ringtailpossum

Syria live: Bashar al-Assad has left Syria, says Russia’s foreign ministry – latest updates Turkey’s foreign minister says Assad regime has collapsed as Russia says he ordered a peaceful power transfer

So Assad has bolted to some unknown destination. This has to be a major blow to Russian interference in the Middle East. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Do it. Elon Musk has no business using political donations to interfere in the UK’s democracy or that of any other country.

YES! We’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving next, when native Americans first fed the illegal immigrants.
