    In a world where AI porn (or other bad things) can be created and posted in minutes...

    Where algorithms boost it to thousands (or millions) or people...

    Who can then repost and share in a click...

    Across a half-dozen major tech platforms...

    Who really thinks that 48 hour takedown (after user report) is a solution?

    Imagine that safety approach to cars or meds.

    Don’t know about the UK, but previous Australian govt policies (esp. the Job Ready Graduate program) does much to undo the successes of Arts faculties (where languages are taught) with massive cost increases for degrees. The program promotes STEMS subject by radically cutting funding for the Arts and massively increasing funding for STEM subjects esp engineering and medicine. This was a neoliberal policy that has so far not been curtailed by our current Labor govt.

    By the by, the policy was/is a total failure. Students seek to study in the field they have an interest in and not the ‘cheapest’ degree structures. The resulting numbers have shown a very modest increase in STEMS and a decrease in non-STEMS enrolments.

    Politicians (as well as business persons) should be kept out out of University boards and councils. Ministers ought to worry about education budgets and leave the running of a Universtity to those better educated to do so IMO. It’s academic, not corporate.

    Sure, but requiring users to monitor the entire internet to report crimes is still a horrifically bad approach to online safety.

    The platforms themselves must bear the burden of monitoring (and acting).

    Absolutely spot on. What is the point of a National Health Service, if it's just buying the service from for-profit companies?

    What a grotesque way to funnel tax dollars to private businesses. This is the wrong direction to save the #NHS

    We can call it politics. We can call it economics, and we could call it sovereignty.
    I call it #patriarchalcapitalism it's adapting it's how it has survived for so long. They are becoming like each other for a reason.
    Whilst commentary is important for education & awareness raising purposes. The real questions, too many to list have to be;
    how can we stop it?
    What are the alternatives available now?
    How can I contribute to raising awareness of them?
    Can I be part of their development?

    So, I believe we are creating alternative partnership frameworks.
    We can, in fact, have to act locally. This has always been at the root of cultural and societal transformation and change.
    The challenge for humanity, therefore, for each one of us, at this liminal point in history, is to share/think on a planetary scale.

  18. @ChrisMayLA6 My fellow Emerit, current wealthy nations are now lost causes, where expertise is more and more wasted.

    Time to start concentrating on #EmergingEconomies in #DevelopingCountries

    I think there's no doubt that #NewerLabour would get into bed with a right wing party if push came to shove.

    He must be referring to some other Prime Minister. I don't recognise #Starmer from that description!

    "Tectonic plates"? More of an earthquake

    As I have said before "It is all about trust"

    The USA imposes a 30% "witholding tax" on individuals taking dividend profits on USA stocks. This is reduced to 15% if a simple W-8BEN form is filed certifying foreign status. If the investor is domiciled in a country with a tax treaty with the USA (like the UK and many other countries) - the tax on certain investments (like a UK #SIPP #pension) is reduced to zero.

    There is the fear that the W-8BEN acts as a very easy way to engage a punishing tax at "the drop of #trump hat".

    Exchange Traded Fund managers would be very embarrassed if this screw was turned - so there is an overall trend to limit this exposure to a future trade war.

  22. @ChrisMayLA6 I assume that the #Starmtroopers calculated they had a binary choice between two packages of outcomes:

    A/ hold the GM mayoralty, lose Gorton, block #Burnham's coup

    B/ lose the GM mayoralty, hold Gorton, get defenestrated by #Burnham.

    Not being keen on defenestration, they chose package A. So they have selected a corporate lobbyist as #GortonAndDenton candidate to be eaten alive, but they keep their jobs in #Number10 for a bit longer.

  27. @ChrisMayLA6 And the reason UKLabour are out of time is #FPTP.

    In 2007–11, #FiannaFail drove Ireland's economy over a cliff edge. #FF lost 58% of its vote share at Ireland's 2011 general election, but #STV ensured that #FF was not wiped out. It partially rebuilt, and by 2024 FF was again the largest party.

    But #FPTP is far more brutal to losers. Labour's likely fall to under 20% of the vote will leave it as a tiny rump, too weak to rebuild.
