The image shows a woman sitting at a desk with a laptop, notebook, and a cup of coffee in her hand. She appears relaxed, dressed casually in beige pants and a white top. Text over the image reads: “I asked chatGPT to write me a 32 page guide called ‘breastfeeding for new moms,’ sold 326 copies at $14. you can copy this too…”

This seems responsible

What harm could it possibly do

How many elderly Australians could get home care packages for $600 million?

How about our government tells them to pull their head in. "But they'll pull out of Townsville!" Fine. Let Glencore pull out of Townsville. Then our government can invest in keeping the refinery open under Australian government ownership.

And our government gave them $600 million of OUR tax dollars to renovate one of their assets. It's criminal.

Glencore is majority owned by 3 people/entities.

Ivan Glasenberg: South African "business professional" worth 10.4 billion USD
Telis Mistakidis: Greek trader worth 3.3 billion USD
Qatar Investment Authority: Qatar's sovereign wealth fund. Holds an estimated $557 billion USD in assets.

I can't tell you how much this pisses me off

As a flinty Gen Xer, I’m constantly embarrassed by the men of my generation who have embraced the worst possible politics. The only cool thing about our formative 80s decade was the counter-culture — everything else was about money and getting ahead.

From the article:

"“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency."

What. The. Fuck.

DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla.

Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained.

The PM and Foreign Minister must urgently demand their safe release.

You're supposed to be emotionally attached in a relationship. That's what a relationship is.

They sure are. I'm not a Liberal voter but it is still disappointing to see. Our democracy works best with a functioning opposition. It doesn't matter which party is in govt, if there is no effective opposition the govt will eventually get its own head stuck up its arse & make some poor decisions

An idiot: "A smart kid won't be bored in any learning environment is my real argument."

This is one of those statements that's so baldly at odds with reality that it's practically a diagnostic criteria from the DSM-5. But we've got a lot of that going around I guess.

I feel seen

Niche gaming post: Sniper Elite 4 is the best Sniper Elite game. Endlessly replayable. For an 8 year old game the graphics hold up and honestly when is it not fun to virtually shoot fascists in the testicles?

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

In a lot of ways I am a middle-aged teen. When people message me to check up on me I immediately get pissy about it. I always need to remind myself that it's nice and it's good that people care.

Worth mentioning that @theguardian.com has a “strategic partnership” with OpenAI:

I've seen plenty of incompetent buffoons rise within corporate structures, but I never thought there would be a concentration of buffoons holding key positions in the US Federal government.

Just when you think the Trump administration can't sink any lower, they prove you wrong. The abyss is bottomless.

I really need to get another kitty and give it a cheese themed name. Mimolette is perfect 😍
