NRK kutter i honoraret til tekstere – skal bruke mer KI NRK skal effektivisere tekstingen ved hjelp av kunstig intelligens (KI). For teksterne betyr det et heftig kutt i honorarene.

On the topic of speech-to-text: Norway's national broadcaster NRK is cutting pay for subtitlers bc they're replacing manual translation w/ machine outputs

Absolutely inevitable trajectory: results that get worse and worse and worse as companies have to exponentially enshittify with worsening slop

"while Labor’s support for net zero creates no danger for the fossil fuel industry, it creates significant danger for our democracy as millions of voters are tricked into believing that they are voting to tackle climate change, when in reality they are voting for fossil fuel expansion"

What bothers me is that impartiality and balance are two different and incompatible things. Impartiality means that you don't intervene to put your thumb on the scales. Balance necessarily requires that you intervene to artificially make every issue look like a 50/50.

This term is so social media-brained. Coined by people who can't imagine themselves without an audience, or that anyone could genuinely want to pass time in any other form than Stare at Phone

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

oh wow the Barriger Library posted the press kit for EMD's release of the GM6C and GM10B, imagine the future where these panned out @sandypsj.bsky.social @a320lga.bsky.social @rustbeltenjoyer.bsky.social

lol. The "religious freedom" crusaders are literally trying to ban people from praying outside of immigration jails.

The equivalent of throwing a bunch of junk in a pretty box with a proper logo and everything to sell it online to an unassuming mark.

“Experts say the proposed legislation is full of problems, including excessive ministerial discretion and relaxing like-for-like offset rules.”

Another Labor special then. Try to legislate a do-nothing policy, pat yourself on the back for being so sensible.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"

They want people to assume this means game info or assets.

But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:

'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

New Australian content quotas are about to be introduced for streaming companies, like Netflix. These will hopefully boost the production of kids' TV - after changes the Coalition gov made in 2020, the amount of children's tv content produced nosedived

I wanted ChatGPT to help me. So why did it advise me how to kill myself? ChatGPT wrote a woman a suicide note and another AI chatbot role-played sexual acts with children, BBC finds.

ChatGPT advised a suicidal young woman on how to take her own life, telling her "If you choose death, I'm with you - till the end, without judging."

"One of the longest-running problems for #climate coverage in Australia is an excessive focus on position statements and far too little focus on the raw physicality of the problem."

Mener vindkraft er verre enn motorvei og industri Vindkraftmotstandere i Grimstad foretrekker både E18 og industriområder fremfor vindkraft. Forsker mener vindturbiner har blitt et symbol på en feilslått energipolitikk.

This article is a really, really stunning example of how wind power is received in Norway.

A proposed wind farm site right next to a massive highway and industrial area is being opposed on the grounds that it 'destroys nature' and is too noisy

Incredible- Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day."

Does man who spends 14 hours a day posting deserve one trillion dollars? Many posters say the matter is complicated.

‘Grand Theft Auto’ Studio Says Fired Employees Were Leaking Information Rockstar Games terminated more than 30 people last week in an action that a labor group called “union-busting.”

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.

At the same time the admin has, is, and will chuck a fit over other countries having restrictions on imports of food from the US. Recently it was about restrictions on US beef down here in Aus (the second highest >exporter< of beef in the world 😭)

The funny thing is, lot of this solar capacity is rooftop solar. 13yrs of conservative gov pissing up the wall on energy policy while power prices kept rising led to a boom in roof top solar installation. Often feels like ads for local solar businesses are more common than plumbers or electricians.

Does Woke 2.0 address any of the technical debt accrued during the lifecycle of Woke 1.0?

The "abundance agenda" is an incredibly designed piece of centre-right climate delay

The entire project of climate action comes down to *not extracting and burning fossil fuels*. So if you frame "being against things" as inherently bad, you can pull thousands of ppl into a pro-fossil stance.
