It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

Just hours after the Bondi shooting, we saw a near-instant generation of closed loop of AI misinformation:
It appears that AI was used to generate a lie, which was then absorbed by AI, then regurgitated to others in a breaking news situation.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.
