"extremely expensive automated incompetence"

#AusPol

These deceitful, grifting 'consultancy' firms needs to be given the arse, once and for all.

Consultancy firm charging $440k for an AI generated report with huge errors? Ethical, apparently.

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Whatever happens more Australians will be touched directly by climate warming and the long tail of consequences

At some point, someone will reply and say, yes - I’m ready to talk about climate warming

But to date, the assumption is it will be someone else

It will be the ONLY issue next election!

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Wait till you see the crap that’s being manufactured for this Christmas

Should be in thousands of containers now, traversing the oceans

All of them stacked with cheap plastic rubbish

And then Australia intends to export plastic waste to other countries!

A double whammy!

Toy Story on Ch9 News testing toys about to enter the Christmas season

Honestly .. could not see a single creative toy amongst them

Really just gimmicks. Kids will be bored by the end of the day - novelties that will clutter rubbish dumps by the end of December

Part of a global slide back to medieval times

The loss off science, research and cures

It’s gonna be a huge shock for many!

But it’s not the first time humanity decided to start again from the beginning

Begs the question .. why would Republicans actually end the shutdown at all?

Have Amerikans considered the fact that this is the next step in a coup of absolute power

Including all nations that continued military aid to Israel during GENOCIDE and enabled then to kill and maim many more than the media lets up

I notice Meloni in Italy has been referred to the ICJ

ALBANESE needs to be referred as well - especially while he’s trying to bury the evidence

Probably - and probably there are many others embedded in Washington to make sure that the "group think" remains alive in our body politic while the duopoly is in power

It is true to say that a lot of care needs to be taken to use AI judicially and not remove the human from processes

Unless greater care is taken to truly learn when and where AI is most effective, then indiscriminate use is a waste and a trap for corporations

It is a tool but the human is vital

Certainly never while voters continue to vote for ideology under the duopoly

I had a discussion yesterday with a friend on exactly the same point you raised

I have made the point repeatedly - we do not have our own DEFENCE, FOREIGN or TRADE policies

They are ALL directly controlled by Amerika

Absolutely - and we should also add, while democracies continue to sit on their hands and send military equipment directly to Israel to facilitate the betrayal

Gekko @gekko.bsky.social · 8h

Correct!

The term was used in the article as a tag to a larger point ... if you're still in the workforce and want to survive, change your skillset and learn to work with AI as a tool.

Continuous learning and flexibility is the key to maintaining a career or careers

Labor like Labour - hitting out against the extreme right sentiment but unable to produce the vision needed to save democracies across the world

Australia, the UK, France , New Zealand - sinking fast for lack of a vision, flailing against those who are chasing us all down

Let's not be lulled by a felon

Nobody forced to leave suburbs / districts but gentrification eventually leads to movement by poorer residents

A real estate deal in GAZA building condominiums on top of the bones of dead Palestinians and around those deprived of everything, should do the trick
