As an elder millennial, one of the Great Crimes of AI (in addition to all the real ones) is that AI has poisoned the greatest of all internet creations: the funny cat video.
Like, one can no longer simply enjoy a video of a cat being a weird little guy. You have to stop and interrogate reality. FFS

If you're sacrificing trans votes and goodwill because you think it will be an overall political gain, you can't expect to do that and still have our votes and goodwill. You sacrificed those, remember?

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.
The only AI I 'use' is shit foisted on me - summaries and slop vomited on my screen as part of internet browsing or injected into programs I work with until I turn those settings off or rip those parts out by the roots.

I will NEVER forgive these agentic tools for making me appreciate my philosophy degree.
Yeah sorry man, a sophisticated chatbot doesn't make me reconsider my own cognition or anything. Some of us have actually thought about this stuff before. Turns out the social sciences are good for something after all

Some nice news for today!
The suburban train stations where building trust is reducing crime
A program connecting vulnerable people with outreach workers at train stations is being credited with reducing antisocial behaviour in suburban Melbourne.

This is so fucked, man. As a disabled person, finding accessible housing is already near impossible. Ditching what little requirements there are would make it fully impossible. And ditching climate and energy requirements is so lacking in foresight it makes my brain hurt.
The opposition wants to build basic homes faster and cheaper. Are there any drawbacks?
Trading 'woke palaces' for 'basic' homes reduces cost but comes with drawbacks
The shadow housing minister is spruiking a simpler building code to speed up housing construction, but could cutting back on energy efficiency and accessibility cost more in the long run?

Have booked a new consult with a new tailor since ours ghosted us. Hopefully we can still get Lee something he likes.
(I'm so pissed, man, Lee has wanted a suit from that original tailor his whole life, we even had a first fitting and then nothing - store's closed, inbox is full, etc :/)
