For all its self-aggrandisement, Australians didn't listen much to Advance in the last election. And we don't adopt American politics anywhere near as easily as people expect of us.

The vast majority of Australians, everyone I've spoken to, my Jewish friends, my Muslim friends, want to just be good to one another in this moment, and avoid inflaming the endless blame cycle.
A loud minority want otherwise. Unfortunately they're among the loudest in the nation
A loud minority want otherwise. Unfortunately they're among the loudest in the nation
The press has an important role to play in stabilising the nation, by, eg., highlighting examples of unity and cooperation between the Jewish and Muslim communities. As it stands, they all seem to be beating the drums of racial tension. It is irresponsible and it must stop.

A pretty large majority support the debate in a 'whatevs' kind of way, but once it crosses into material consequences or even crowding out other issues, a majority clicks into a "send it back to where it came from" response. And it isn't a white person thing, it's an everyone thing (2/2)

I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Here's the reality this example illustrates:
It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).
