"Australian media’s intrinsic racism, overwhelming whiteness, and obsession with disciplining and demonising anyone who critiques those things has helped normalise white supremacist rhetoric and bolster the far-right"

It's a choice to show protestors throwing back the gas canisters but not the cops firing them. Not a single image was of the joyful stuff like dancing etc. It was all the "clash" shit

There is no way to protest that will earn the respect of your political opponents. You will never be peaceful enough. You’ll either be too poor, criminal, and uncouth, or too rich, out-of-touch, and snobbish.

Like, we can't blame the Japanese forever. Labor is making a decision here: they have agency and power and they are using both of those things to choose to make climate change worse.

If you actually stand for something, you won't always win, but we will always lose if we keep capitulating to centrists and the right.

Time to use your political capital to take real action. And please forget the word "net".

I think you're lucky in that this is one of the topics that is very well represented in the training data along with troubleshooting and discussions of accuracy.
For my field, generated answers are much less likely to be true, but often in a way that I expect would not be obvious to a novice.

Generally the same comment you're dismissing as uninformed.

It seems more common to me that people who comment positively about LLMs don't think too deeply about them.

It was misrepresenting sources last week in my experience. It's changed how it does it but it still does it.

Citing sources, not necessarily its sources.

Some of the work they paid people (poorly) to do is one of the harms of LLMs.

So should we expect @australia.theguardian.com to be posting content hostile to trans people, following the editorial line of the Guardian UK?
Let me know if so, so I can unfollow and block now.

I try not to dunk on folks here, so I didn’t Qskeet, but I suggest folks stop talking about Wikipedia like it’s garbage when it’s decent basic information and a solid stating point. AI, ads, junk algorithms, rightwing media moguls, and fact-averse govts have changed the landscape

Look at the other response to me. Someone who assumes that because I say life has gotten harder, I care what the LNP has done. I wouldn't vote for them and don't know anyone who would, but that doesn't mean I think Labor has any plans to help either.

Barry, how many renters or young people do you know who would talk to you about their difficulties? Everything costs more and housing is both hard to find and expensive.
Don't fall for the narrative that complaints are only from LNP fans.

The idea that deducting mortgage payments from tax will help people get into a home (rather than just further heap benefits on the already privileged like his kids) doesn't even stand up to the scrutiny of a first glance. Transparent grift.

I don't disagree with any of that. I think there are a lot of people who would be happy with a smaller home though, including high rises. CA consistently makes choices that prioritise SFHs which then leads to overvaluing the desires of the wealthy.
