  1. A bullshit headline and bullshit excuse from OpenAI.

    The company is avoiding responsibility by minimising its poorly implemented software, systems and risk management.

    The Guardian is uncritically swallowing and amplifying the propaganda.

    FFS, here was me thinking The Guardian editors knew we’ve had a gut full of this kind of BS…

    Is it just me, or has The Guardian slowly slid down to the level of your average bad reporting of other news outlets?

    Not renewing my subs is all I can say.

  8. #RachelWithers expressed my sentiments and frustration with many TV hosts in her article:

    "... 7.30’s Sarah Ferguson opening by asking the Liberal leader to “categorically rule out” forming government with One Nation, based on his recent criticism. In classic politician speak, Taylor said there was “no plan” to do so, arguing the Coalition wanted to govern in its own right. Ferguson spent three minutes and four questions trying to pin him down, becoming increasingly explicit in her “rule out” framing, noting this is what she was “looking for”.

    “There is a slight difference between ‘There is no plan’ and ‘I, Angus Taylor as the leader of the Liberal Party, am ruling out forming government with One Nation’,” Ferguson finished, to which Taylor responded there was “no plan”. In total, I counted six “no plan” responses and one “I’m ruling it out” from the Liberal leader, though that didn’t stop the ABC running the headline “Angus Taylor rules out One Nation coalition once and for all”.

    The semantics were tiresome, not least because we are no closer to knowing what the Liberals would do in the event of a hung parliament (Ferguson’s questions improved after this, for the record, grilling Taylor on his criticism of care economy wage rises). Did we gain anything of value, other than a “gotcha”, if a Taylor-led party somehow wins enough seats to contemplate governing with One Nation, which it’d likely choose over most crossbench options?

    The question itself needs to be “ruled out” for our increasingly fractured electorate, in which it is becoming less likely that any one party will win a majority of seats. It’s an ask regularly made of Labor about the Greens, with Anthony Albanese all too eager to rule that one out — nevermind that, if Labor’s “wide but shallow” majority gets any shallower, he might soon find himself having to work with minor parties or independents to form government."

  13. An #ABCNews piece by #JacobGreber (posted 8 hrs ago) dregs out the old #NeoLiberal #TrickleDownPonzieScheme idea that if you point detractors to some #CheeryPicking you might stop them from focusing on the abundance piled up in the mansion’s pantry. The headline says it all: “Curbing well-off taxpayers' access to key programs could save billions.” Which double talk for : Here are the crumbs we been promissing for the last 40 years, but don’t look at the dinner table. Of course, the author of the article quotes the #IPA (an old conservative mouthpiece) to bolser the argument, there’s at least ‘$20 billion” to be saved from the budget here.

    Let’s be clear. This is an #Opinion piece, not an #Analysis.

    1) All Australian citizens and permanent residents ought to be entitled to appropriate social services regardless of their wealth or standing in the community.
    2) If you tax the #Rich and #SuperProfits to redistribute weatlh for the greater benefit of society as a whole there would be more than $20B on offer to build a fairer and more equitable Australia.

  18. Another superficial #ABCNews piece which barely tells us anything beyond local councils vetoing town water use for renewable projects. There is no investigation, no analysis and no tangible information beyond reporting the ban and that water is required for concrete (and “building transformers” ? That’s a new one to me). Adds nothing to the well known scarcity of potable water sources on the world’s driest continent. Well done ABC… NOT.

    The author’s only saving grace, besides making readers aware that water is a scarce commodity, is to confirm that Data Centres are water guzzlers — you can find a reference to the latter in a throwaway sentence at the very end of the article.

  23. CW: Guardian columnist loses NPC pass after Hanson speech

    @luciedigitalni Gutless wonders!
    I'm not surprised that Sky News and the usual Murdoch muck-rakers are out there spruiking the wonders of Poor Pauline.
    But, it's disgraceful to see such terrible fawning by journalists, and for it to go as far as favouritism and policing of colleagues.
    And, whatever happened to the impartiality of the ABC?

  27. “Warracknabeal Energy Park gets Victorian approval as community worries about impact.’ (Source ABC News)

    I’m not going to link to the article, it’s easy enough to find if required. I just wanted to point out that the #ABC reporting on the Victorian Govt approval for a very large windfarm project is absolutely disgraceful. For a public broadcaster with a remit to report and inform to report opposition opinions without providing the facts on the matter, is tantamount to #Lobbying on behalf of #NIMBYs and #ClimateDeniers.

    The fact that this *local* *opposition* to the #WindFarm project invokes environmental concerns is especially galling given the environmental impact of their farming practices (past and present).

    I don’t even want to talk about their BS concerns with “impacts on human health, on noise, on visual amenity loss”. I mean, visual amenity loss, really? It’s farmland morons. Why is the ABC platforming these nutters?

    Banging on about ‘broken promises’ reminds me of a petulant child rubbing their eyes with balled fists and blubbering. “B-but y-you p-p-promised.”

    Australians and Australian politics deserve a better media and standard of journalism.

    Eh… you have ‘great expectations’ for this show, sry to dissapoint but…

    You’re right of course, #Insiders is not a without its right-wing neoliberal bias. Not only is the bias evidenced by the ‘in your face’ #Host, it’s in your face in the limited variety of guests appearances (with few exceptions amongst the panel). For all the information/news it provides, you might as well watch #FoxNewstainment and risk being brainwashed like an increasing proportion of Australian voters.

Not only is the bias evidenced by the ‘in your face’ #Host, it’s in your face in the limited variety of guests appearances (with few exceptions amongst the panel). For all the information/news it provides, you might as well watch #FoxNewstainment and risk being brainwashed like an increasing proportion of Australian voters.

  39. It’s just amazing that all those CPG journos sat in that Labor Govt press conference about the #ISISBrides and not one of them raised the IDF soldiers complicit in genocide holidaying in Australia or returning home. #auspol #ThisIsNotJournalism

  42. CW: CW: sex, robots, side-boob, The Sun, Twitter

    It's ten years to the day since The Sun published this article that exemplifies their standard of journalistic integrity:
    "We'll Be Having Sex With Robots in the Next 10 Years".

    How time flies! Back then, we relied on Twitter for news, headlines for clickbait articles were quirky and not liable to drive one to rage, and suggestive images were made in Photoshop by people.

    Curiously, the article and the tweet no longer exist. A few months later, The Sun published an article with the same photo and a similar headline: "Women will be having more sex with ROBOTS than men by 2025". These articles appear to be related and based on claims by Dr Ian Pearson, a futurologist. In the years since then, he's been spruiking Augmented Reality, predicting we'll live for ever by 2050, and giving TED talks.

  44. Usually, I am loath to quote News Corp articles because I loathe their bias, but I'm sharing this screenshot for the fabulous typo.

  46. News.com.au serving up Cold War leftovers again. Now we’ve got a “cyber expert” warning that China could make EVs explode. Next they’ll tell us Beijing controls your toaster. Laughable fearmongering dressed as journalism.

  48. Hey, #abcnewsau

    It is not a ‘Hunger Crisis’

    It is the deliberate and calculated starvation of civilians. It is a war crime.

    It is a moral failing that news agencies and governments are downplaying the atrocities Israel is committing.

    Bloody typical isn’t? Journalism is dead. This article is content to ‘quote’ everyone without so much as questioning what they hear. This type of journalism is a gross disservice to the community. It does not inform nor contribute to productive public debate. It merely gives oxygen to anyone wishing for a public platfrom. So disappointing to see this lazy reporting in the Capital.

    It’s not that journalism ‘cannot’ say NO, it is that it WILL not say no. Self-serving journalism isn’t journalism, it’s propaganda.
