Not only was Robodebt a colossal failure in raising the revenue it was promised to, it remains a stark reminder of how our governments treat the most vulnerable in our society.

Today's final approval of the North West Shelf is a climate, economic, and energy security disaster.

Australia Institute analysis shows the 45-year expansion is equivalent to building 12 new coal power stations.

80 years ago, on August 6, 1945, the United States committed one of the most atrocious crimes in human history and plunged the world into a nuclear dark age. It dropped nuclear weapons on Hiroshima, Japan and mass murdered an estimated 70,000 to 140,000 people, mostly civilians, instantly.

Here’s a 2019 story about the β€œmodel”, explains how she was pulled into Epsteins orbit, eventually raped, taken to the private islands, etc. This seems around the same time she was passed on to Trump. just say mid-90s. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncn...

Chatbots β€” LLMs β€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re β€œright” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Leadership options that could barely scrape together a functional human brain between them; only one of which would be unlikely to drag the #LNP further into losing culture wars, RWNJ grifting, and continuing to punch down at everyone not like themselves. #auspol
