Growing up in social housing with a hard working single mother and traditional Labor values, I always dreamed of one day supporting a pedophile in his war on the school children of the middle east

I'm pretty sure Albanese is post-guilt now.

The assumption that "thing that vaguely resembles consciousness will naturally lead to actual consciousness" has no basis in reality, but AI dorks are convinced it's happening any day now.

In summary: AI rots critical thinking, hallucinates, is shaped by the hyper-wealthy pedos that own it, its data centres guzzle water we can't spare, it will help lay off millions, we can't trust photos anymore & it keeps recommending nuclear war. But yeah, nice memes, dipshits!!

Also the impetus isn't there from former Labor voters yet. In Australia they haven't woken up to the fact that Labor is no longer a left-wing party like they apparently have in the UK.

Australians have been brainwashed for the past 20 years to not vote for the Greens no matter how much they dislike Labor.

If they haven't worked out by now that we hold all the cards they're obviously not going to 😬

How John Howard reshaped Australia – and not for the better Many of Australia’s most pressing social and economic problems can be traced to policy choices made during the Howard years, from housing and inequality to wages, tax and public services.

"Worst Prime Minister in Australian history. (Used) astute political artistry to dress up policies as favouring 'battlers', but in reality, (made) life easier for the wealthy by imposing on the broad mass of (us) the rotten fruits of a malignant ideology." #auspol
