Need proof that Meta is killing democracy? Look no further than the rise of fascism in Australia c/o One Nation polling.

Can Australia imagine ditching the diesel rebate, and not being the largest user of diesel per capita in the world?

Australians, if you're in need of some good uplifting news, I got you:
back in 2015, Mohamed Semra was racially profiled by an Apple Store in Melbourne, where he was refused entry because he was black.
He's now Mayor of Maribynong, where that Apple store resides.
His story in on the ABC tonight, 8pm on Australian Story, backgrounder below:

btw, should you be able to make sense out of Andrew Forrest's dogshit unit economics, you're doing far better than I with this billionaire word salad:

"The future of AI: AI has - in the immortal phrasing of Ed Zitron - "dogshit unit economics."
Every new AI user makes the AI industry less profitable, and every time anyone uses AI, the company providing that AI loses more money. The more we use AI, the more money they lose.
Every new generation of AI loses more money than the previous generation. AI is the money-losingest proposition in the history of the human race."

What really grinds my gears is that Twiggy's FMG receives more taxpayers money in the diesel rebate than what he paid out. Not even a slap on the wrist, more like Australia saying thankyou for punching down on First Nations, heres some cash for your trouble.

Want to know what racism looks like in Australia?
Billionaire Andrew Forrest built the Solomon mines without the agreement of the traditional owners, making over 80 billion. The Yindjibarndi traditional owners have been involved in a long, expensive legal case for years, resulting in a payout of $150 million. Fortescue received $300 million in taxpayer funded diesel subsidies last payout.

Sure, depression would not help, but for folks with ADHD, I get how AI could be one hell of a dopamine hit, as I imagine it was for Dawkins (I haven't read it, and really don't want to go there...) - here's a thing that is here to cater to your every need and give answers that will please you type scenarios.
Neurodiverse folk = relationship issues. AI can 100% entertain niche interests, so I'm very concerned about that and where it could lead.

I've personally been kicked out of an autistic group for being against AI, and it was infiltrating *everything*.
Talks on food preparation & ageing, or you'd go to participate in a zoom call, and it's got AI transcription... 🤯
I have not got the research - as I read and remembered it from months ago, but hopefully this gives you some idea of the issue:
AI is basically fraud, yes? There you go:

Has anyone mentioned yet that there's a pretty good chance that Dawkins is #neurodiverse, and that us neurodiverse people are more susceptible to AI?
[@crowgirl](https://hachyderm.io/@crowgirl ) Asking, because it's a really important part of the conversation that seems to be missing here.
It's like piling on someone for being homeless, taking drugs, whatever...
We need a 12 step program to get off AI that *works*, and part of that is education, not shaming.

Greenpeace Australia will be using AI, as they're recruiting for AI and Data Platforms Lead:
"Working closely with the IT Manager, Platform Leads, and GPAP’s Data & AI Governance Council, you’ll lead the implementation of our AI Strategy, making sure every AI use case is transparent, ethical, and aligned with Greenpeace values."
Failing to see how a right wing techbro concept which is killing people + planet is ethical.

"In tribute to the late Steve Albini and to benefit the Letters Charity that was a huge part of his life and legacy, Fugazi are making available the formerly unreleased recordings they made with Steve in the fall of 1992. This session features all of the tracks that Fugazi would later re-record for the 1993’s “In On The Killtaker” LP."

Agreed re: safety net + UBI.
Problem is, the Norwegian safety net is literally killing people + planet, because it's taxes paid by Carbon Major Oil company Equinor.
Here's their emissions c/o https://carbonmajors.org.
The Australia Institute is using Norway as an example of what Australia should do. We're enough of a petrostate already as shown by climateactiontracker.org

It's pretty simple maths: If you stop eating farmed salmon, you stop supporting some of the world's most corrupt corporations such as JBS.
You can then stop being part of the $628,000,000 in violations they've racked up worldwide. Farmed salmon is not food for humans, it's profit for corporations by any means necessary.

When even The Greens can't support renewables in QLD, and what renewables they do have are approved by the fossil fuel industry, why is this outcome a surprise?

battle? How is there a battle when QLD has 3 coal billionaires + banana republic regional media without bringing Gina into the mix? How is there a battle when the QLD govt is *invested* in industrial fossil fuelled mcdonalds lovin' agriculture?
In order to have a battle, you need opposition. There is no such thing as a renewables/social justice billionaire.

Hey Australia, wanna get off spotify?
Freegal is offered via libraries, where you can stream 24-7 and download 5 songs a week. There's 2.6 million albums, including the Sony catalog, Black Flag, Husker Du and harder to find compilation albums, which is how [@mick_collins](https://toot.community/@mick_collins ) band Dirtbombs snuck in 🎉 The Gories are there too!
Get most community radio stations in one app - https://www.cbaa.org.au/membership/station-services/community-radio-plus
Between those two, pretty much sorted!
