Particularly unpopular when shoved down throats.
Australia much the same.
Look, at least they called the relevant parties instead of asking Grok…
@albomp.bsky.social Did you see this?
“Today, extraordinary wealth seems to arrive from nowhere. The trick of conjuring this unearned wealth is, in fact, the key to understanding capitalism’s origins and a clue to why the catastrophe of climate collapse is upon us: value is created by consuming the future.”
I was about to post that. It’s been cracking me up since 2004.
In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

“Buy the CD. Save the seed. Use open-source tools. Bank with a credit union. Support right-to-repair legislation. Every act of reclaiming ownership is a withdrawal from the enclosure economy – individually symbolic, collectively structural.”
In 1984 the Doomsday clock was at 3mins to midnight.
In 2026 the Doomsday clock is at 85seconds to midnight.
WTF @support.bsky.team ?
The only thing less reliable than an AI's accuracy is an AI's stability

I might get attacked for saying this
Imagine what it'll do in 5 years
Al critics are just afraid
Al is better than you
Everyone is doing it
"Levels the playing Field"
Your time will be spent on work that MATTERS
Your time will be spent correcting the Al's errors

Shit outputs? Switch to [alternate LLM]
Yes jobs will be cut...
Humans aren't perfect either
It's FUN!!!
No practical advice
"Sorry bluesky"
Solution to chronic underfunding
What if it could cure cancer???
I made something that appears passable
No need for pesky underlings
Is it accurate? No. But...
Framing human work as "bespoke, hand-crafted"

It doesn't fill me with great confidence that with the potential for WW3 to kick off, Australia currently has perhaps its most spineless PM in history.

If you are in the Dunstan electorate in SA, this is your chance to scare the bejeesus out of Malinauskas and vote #Greens Christal Mex.
She's done the hard yards for the region.
Dear @albomp.bsky.social take it as an electoral warning… #auspol

A warning.
All the worst people in the country are now shitting themselves.
The mother of all campaigns is now going to be directed against the Green Party.
It will be an unrelenting smear campaign.
The Greens need to be ready for that - and so does everyone on the left.
If you want an example of recycling look no further than Cuba. Their ability to repair, or refunction everything, out of necessity is remarkable. That's how you save a climate.
What’s most baffling to me is the idea that walking to a coffee shop wouldn’t be viewed as a pleasure.
