This debacle is getting worse, not better. The ABC has just confirmed that the Chair of the board, Tracy Whiting, has also stepped down, meaning half the board is now gone and there isn’t enough remaining to form a quorum. What a total disgrace.

"with this act of utter folly and appalling weakness, the Adelaide Festival board - and the politicians who direct it - have by scapegoating a Palestinian writer now destroyed Adelaide Writers Week for the foreseeable future."
Richard Flanagan on these dangerous times.
Politicians shouldn’t decide who appears at writers’ festivals. It’s a dangerous path
Australia’s best writers festival could collapse within days as international and local writers boycott it in protest at the removal of Randa Abdel-Fattah.

The idea that AI can “detoxify” people reframes emotional overwhelm as a software problem, and it treats loneliness and strain as things to route into a machine rather than conditions that require support, care, and structural repair. 1/*
These rebranding attempts are getting more ridiculous.
The CEO of Microsoft AI says AI chatbots are a powerful way for humans to offload emotions and 'detoxify ourselves'
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft AI's CEO, has described using AI for guidance on life decisions as "something that the world needs."

Everywhere I go I meet creative, intelligent, hard working people with great ideas who can't begin to implement them because they don't have the necessary capital. So much wealth has been hoarded and accumulated it prevents any real economic growth. The problem isn't lack of ideas jesus christ.
This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.
