- Comment on Risks of climate crisis to Australia’s economy and environment are ‘intense and scary’, unreleased government report says 6 hours ago:
“It’s so ‘intense and scary’ we shouldn’t release it. And we shouldn’t do anything to counteract climate crisis so that people don’t become alarmed. The best way to reassure everyone is to approve more coal and gas extraction.”

- Comment on The AUKUS Submarine Deal is Dead. The US can’t provide the submarines. The UK can neither make up for the shortfall nor co-develop such a submarine in a reasonable timeframe 2 days ago:
It would be kinda funny if we crawled back to the French, begged them to build us some subs, and then the French tell us to “Mange de la merde!”

- Comment on Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube 5 days ago:
nothing stops people from shifting to a non-australian instance and just keep using the site

- Comment on Josh Taylor: Australia’s potential surrender of creative content to tech giants for free is shocking. Labor must decide where it stands 6 days ago:
“…hurry or you’ll miss out…”
It’s interesting that I listened to some podcasts recently, and the general idea was that the FIRST to get to AGI could never be caught.
All other AGIs will be like a child in comparison. And humans, well, we might be like a microbe…

- Comment on Shoring up Australia's remaining industry an investment rather than bailout 1 week ago:
I was doing some random ‘writer prompt’ thinking about this today, while thinking about the current/future car industry.
If most of our cars have self drive technology, and they can identify people/pedestrians, then in a state of war, couldn’t the programming be changed to target them instead of miss them?
And for electric cars, couldn’t an enemy state alter the battery management system to cause a runaway thermal battery fire? Imagine every electric car co-ordinated to all catch on fire at the one time. That could make an interesting story.
Just to be clear, I don’t think this would happen, or even know of it’s actually possible.
It just made me think, well, I couldn’t prevent this by buying an Australian car. Which made me sad and miss the old Aussie built cars.
- Comment on ‘Absolutely the best ship’: Japan wins $10bn contract to grow Australia’s war fleet 1 week ago:
Can’t wait for us to change supplying country 3 or 4 times, paying massive contract breaking penalties each time, for us to pay more for a worse performing ship that arrives hugely over budget and 15 years too late.

- Comment on Chinwag's age verification process 1 week ago:
WTF happened to the whole SSO/Identity/federated identity industry?
Wasn’t it originally meant to cater for this type of issue? I’m sure it was at least in a commercial context.
I never did it on a personal basis, because I would never use google or facebook as a source to sign in to anything.,.

- Comment on Cars sold in Australia still use more petrol and emit more toxic fumes than advertised, new real-world testing shows 1 week ago:
Electric cars also have inflated range figures. And there also seems to be different standards of measuring it.
It’s not surprising to watch a Youtube clip and hear ‘claimed range of 450kms, so you might get 370kms in the real world’
