- Comment on A minority Labor government could be truly progressive – and the conservatives know it | Lenore Taylor 3 days ago:
They stalled a long-term project by a few weeks
It was stuck in the Senate for half a year?? Labor nearly called a double dissolution over it? Need I remind you we’re trying to build houses in a housing crisis?
Even Jonny Sri admitted:
www.jonathansri.com/greensmustblock/
The Greens MPs and their staffers had concluded that a growing proportion of their own support base wanted them to stop blocking.
No shit but he doesn’t comprehend why:
If the Greens don’t block Labor, nothing will change
You can block labor, on things that need to be blocked on, if labor wants to build a coal power plant, go for your life, block the shit out of it
If labor is trying to build some renewables in a very heated/debated area and you demand they build even more, stop it, you’re making it worse
If the greens block Labor too hard they are seen as doing nothing, if they are seen as doing nothing guess who gets in? The liberal party and what are the liberal party offering?
The Coalition has promised to repeal the fund if elected.
No mention of the Greens blocking it for some reason, just straight up, if we get in its gone.
So its more like:
If the Greens block Labor, nothing will change, people will get unhappy, and the libs will get in and then we’ll be stuck yelling from the sidelines like we did for the 10 years prior to labor getting in again
It’s interesting he mentions that as well:
Australia’s fossil fuel emissions … are still rising.
No they’re not, our emissions peaked in 2019
but wouldn’t it have been nice if labor had been in power building out renewables for 10 years instead of Morrison bringing a lump of coal into parliament talking about how great it is? it just shows you haven’t learned a thing since your last screw up
We are a conservative country, the Greens are currently polling within 3% of One Fucking Nation, they have to work better on things that they can really hammer home to people, not in fighting over policies that are aligned with what greens voters actually want
ok last reply on this, i’m just wasting time
- Comment on A minority Labor government could be truly progressive – and the conservatives know it | Lenore Taylor 3 days ago:
they aren’t obligated to block critical funding for housing either, they made their decision and ive made mine
the real pain for me is that when i went to vote there was like 5 nutter parties all of them right wing, the libs and then just labor and the greens on the left, limited choices for anyone left wing :(

- Comment on Friday essay: ‘War has made me a pacifist’. Why are we so reluctant to acknowledge Australia’s anti-war veterans? 4 days ago:
because it’s stupid, pacifism doesn’t lead to less war, it leads to more suffering
it’s the equivalent of saying don’t stand up to your bully just let him get away with it, in the end you lose and suffer more

- Comment on ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it 1 week ago:
Scientists have estimated that the power requirements of data centers in North America increased from 2,688 megawatts at the end of 2022 to 5,341 megawatts at the end of 2023, partly driven by the demands of generative AI
5341 Megawatt = 5.341 Gigawatt
so a 2.6 GW increase, jeez that’s a fair amount
The US set a record by adding 50 GW of new solar capacity in 2024, with solar and storage making up 84% of new capacity.
Global renewable power capacity increased by 585 GW in a single year

tbf to the US they fund an absolute ton of things, eg. I didn’t realise they helped fund lets encrypt and now the CVE database either, I assume it’ll be a drip feed of things being cancelled slowly over time as they find them all

This I can’t relate to
Online, “You can see someone on a boat. You can see someone skydiving,” says Kara Perez, the financial educator behind the sustainable spending platform Bravely Go. “That leads to these questions of, ‘What am I doing wrong that I can’t afford that?’ Or, ‘You know what, I deserve that. Let me figure out a way to achieve that’ — which usually means, ‘Let me put that on my credit card.’” If you see that the whole world has flocked to Europe, you may not rush to book a ticket, but you may do something small to give yourself an immediate dopamine hit — DoorDashing yourself an Italian dinner, for example, or buying yourself a swimsuit for future Sicilian sunbathing.
if you’re ordering doordash or uber eats and having trouble with money i don’t know what to say
uber eats is the epitome of a waste of money
- Comment on Turkish central bank raises interest rate to 46 percent 1 week ago:
We struggled with like 7% inflation that lasted barely a year, I duno how these guys are surviving with a 38% inflation rate
What are the bank account savings rates? Are people getting raises to match inflation or what is the deal?

tbh I find these articles unrelatable
I’ve always followed things like
earlyretirementextreme.com mnmlist.com mrmoneymustache.com/…/getting-rich-from-zero-to-h…
my mortgage is 1/6th of my monthly pay my next biggest spend is food because I am special needs XD and it drops off quite quick after that
With an EV with home solar charging, a battery and heat pump, I should pay off my mortgage in the next few years and after that I’ll quickly be getting close to barista fire
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 2 weeks ago:
It’s ok, it’s not your fault, I read this:
“RFK told Trump that materials such as cellulose and fiberglass cause autism and that to MAHA they’d have to lean hard on asbestos which he claims has no known health risks. Trump is now committed to making asbestos great again”
and was like, that does sound like something he would say
Trump dismissed the “so-called facts” and told The Times,
So does that, wasn’t until I saw the other articles in the sidebar that it clicked

- Comment on AI in Australian workplaces: Michael used AI to write a work email. It ended up costing him $2000 2 weeks ago:
but you’ve been hyperfixated on Clippy
Yes because as I said in my original post:
The comparison is dumb and you’ve done nothing to refute that except say that you’ve got a lot of experience with AI and it’s been around for a few years now 👍
A traveller shone light on your magic and you don’t want to accept it’s not magic.
Shone light on your magic? You’ve done nothing of the sort. AI is incredible! The generation of images, real time voice translation, we’re getting close to real time voice conversations with computers, the first time I showed people they were mind blown. Mistral and Qwen have been incredible for me, I’m no longer going through 10 pages of searches to try and find answers to questions I have.
I feel like we’ve been circling the drain for a while, your papers won’t prove much except that for some reason you’re dumb enough to work on a dead end product that’s about to shut down for over 10 years? no idea why you’d do this but sure, in your mind AI is a bunch of garbage, in my mind it’s amazing. I guess we’ll just have to beg to differ.
- Comment on AI in Australian workplaces: Michael used AI to write a work email. It ended up costing him $2000 2 weeks ago:
nah i don’t want theirs, i want yours, you’re the one who thinks ai is clippy, it would make me laugh to see the guy doing research papers on improving ai thinks it’s a garbage tier digital assistant that you yourself don’t even use and in fact would drop despite hundreds of millions of people using it daily🙂
i’m aware of how ai works at a fundamental level, they even have a visual on it:
same with evs, solar, solar batteries, smartphones, the new ai robots, we live in the most insane age
just saw this yesterday
How AI Is Helping Us Clean the Ocean m.youtube.com/watch?v=yOJFFQQx-zY
this is what you remind me of
Louis CK Everything is amazing & Nobody is happy m.youtube.com/watch?v=PdFB7q89_3U
anyway looking forward to qwen3, let me know about those research papers on clippy, although i should probably ask why you’re wasting your time
- Comment on AI in Australian workplaces: Michael used AI to write a work email. It ended up costing him $2000 2 weeks ago:
wait you’ve been working on ai since 2012? sorry had no idea, link me some of your research papers on how you’ve improved ai! i’m interested :)
