Trust is a many splendoured thing
Is there anything that AI can’t do?
It can take our jobs, our will to live, and now it’s taking our rates.
Hearing that the Noosa Council was scammed out of nearly $2 million due to some ‘sophisticated’ AI something-or-other raised my Spidey Senses. They refused to divulge exactly what was going on, so the public is none the wiser. In the meantime, the council can cry poor that it wasn’t their fault. Well, sorry, but you lost $2 million of ratepayers’ money — so it was your fault.
I drink therefore AI am
AI might be so sophisticated you can’t tell a deep fake from the real thing, but keep in mind — you can’t always tell how gullible people are either.
I had multiple friends try and tell me there were new ‘national’ road rules that said you couldn’t drink water or vape or eat or whatever while driving and would face imminent fines or jail. Then there was the ‘story’ about Robert Irwin giving away $5 million for the homeless. Ha ha. Red flags everywhere.
So long and thanks for all the fish
Surely most of us are wishing the best to Ariarne Titmus through gritted teeth now that she’s done an Ash Barty and retired at the top of her game. What nobody seems to be asking is, “But what about us?”
Much like tennis — unwatchable at the best of times — became a complete drone without Barty winning, Australia needs Ariarne. 400m champions don’t just fall out of trees. Perhaps what Ariarne fails to see is that this isn’t about her, her future, welfare, or happiness. It’s about all Australians — especially the ones who take an interest in swimming every four years and demand success!
DoorDash Diary
Week 4. I’ve given up, but not everybody has. Loving the online comments about people discovering DoorDash is now local — only to read of the disappointment that it still takes two hours for delivery.
