re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

I spent 8 months waiting for an FOI from the NDIA on how they're using AI.

This is what I found.

Machine learning is used in developing draft plans for participants.

Robodebt concerns loom large over the Copilot trial, but staff reported favourably on it.

Why did Sarah Hall stamp her new novel with a “human-written” maker’s mark? On AI and “creative larceny.”

Helm is my tenth work of fiction, and the front jacket of the novel will feature a Human-Written maker’s mark—one of the first in the book trade. I’m not exaggerating when I say this novel took dec…

21 years ago we had stillborn twins. It still hurts. I cannot express in words the loathing I feel about these men. To suggest people would cash in on such excruciating loss says everything you need to know about these “moral conservatives.” Arseholes. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

"...what decade (yes, I said decade) will it be, when an AFL club has a men’s team that is doing well, but a women’s team that is doing very poorly, and the powerful coteries make a move to sack their club’s board because of the poor performance of the women’s team?"

Indeed.

Time to randomly promote my newsletter again: this week it’s about dressing for weightlifting. For the women at Atletika in Sydney, it is about performance, comfort, and finding your power. Just look at the sports bra.
