“Large AI firms are shopping around the world trying to sell their snake oil and the price is copyright reform. International creative businesses are looking at Australia and cannot believe the government has been duped.” The Albanese govt isn’t just risking Australian IP. It is exposing the world.

theguardian.comIn a rush to lure AI companies, the Australian government risks undoing a creative ecosystem that has taken decades to build | Dan GuthrieIf proposed copyright reforms proceed, Australia will become a global IP-laundering paradise. Why would a UK business license its TV shows here if they can be scraped at will?

Trumpy loses again. Trumpy always loses. But he'll keep cutting down trees and screw up the DC Golf Course. It's a cherished place for DC residents. Trumpy wants to make it a Trumpy Golf Course. Raise prices and close it whenever he wants to cheat golf. It's NOT HIS PHUCKING GOLF COURSE. It's ours.

wapo.stJudge halts tree removal, imposes new limits on Trump’s golf projectU.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes ruled the administration cannot cut down more trees at East Potomac Park or close the course without notice. Trump said the government will appeal.

So dead elderly are of ZERO consequence @albomp.bsky.social ?

Labor has introduced a ‘robo assessment’ algorithm to assess aged people for home care packages. CARE FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE DECIDED BY AN ALGORITHM! 8 out of 10 QLD health professionals said it underestimated levels of need. It is unacceptable to remove HUMANS from this decision.

The ombudsman agreed that the government failed to learn the lessons of #robodebt. But it's the opposite. For #agedcare, #NDIS, #jobseeker payments & employment services, the Albanese govt has learned precisely how to apply cruel, arbitrary & dehumanizing policies to the most vulnerable. #auspol

“It should be no surprise that a species that only sees the Amazon rainforest as a lumber supermarket also saw Gaza as a real estate opportunity: because it is always the same system which is responsible for both the killing of forests, and the extermination of nations”

The PM has been telling everyone to turn the temperature down. He might want to have a word to Lachlan Murdoch about turning the temperature up with climate-denying conspiracy theories about BOM manipulating temperature data. #auspol

Graham Readfearn@readfearn.bsky.social

The Australian newspaper has been claiming a "forensic audit report" shows BoM's temperature data has "widespread error". For 15 years climate sceptics have been claiming a conspiracy around the data. Is anything different this time?
