As a...
– user
I want to...
– jump through the hoops of a gate-keeping chatbot with a human-yet-quirky name like Ruby, who will confront me with a wall of links to unrelated FAQ pages, while asking for feedback on her incompetence
so that...
– support fields fewer calls

PM: go get AZ everyone
QLD CHO: fuck off

Ignoring the fact that thousands of human lives, the economy and opening up again hang in the balance, the AZ comms ping pong is pretty funny.

Australia remains dead last in the OECD for the share of people who are fully vaccinated. Only 4% of the population has been able to get access to vaccines. That's not because people don't want it, it's because Scott Morrison doesn't have the supply to give it to them.

To our friends round Aus; take care, check in with @LifelineAust or @beyondblue and please look out for the signs of #lockdownextension fatigue, as observed in Melbourne last year

@kirstyelderton @tesslawley @sarahbell82 @justinecaldwe14 @kirstyelderton I just saw this! Right back at you, you wonderful human. I learned most of what I know from you and I would not be where I am without your influence 💗

Hey @Melair and @VirginAustralia, very disappointed to find no ‘dine in’ ceramic coffee cups available from any of your T3 vendors and plastic cutlery and plates used throughout Able Baker Charlie. It’s not rocket science guys. #ClimateEmergency #smallchanges #flyingisbadenough

If @Pornhub isn't already working on an implementation of this to allow users to self-insert (pun intended), then management needs to have a meeting right now 🤔 #Zao #AI #Deepfakes

Since @apolaine's talk on Synthetic Futures at #UXA2019 this is all I can see in my feeds. The dystopian future of my teen-angst dreams is here, people!

Prediction- in the near future Netflix/Amazon studios/Disney+ will produce shows that can star you, the viewer, as the main character (for an added fee). Expect acquisitions of deepfake startups. As quality rises, the viewing experience will feel more natural and seamless. #ZAO

@Murray_Je @SXSWEDU Thanks @Murray_Je!

[John Murray @Murray_Je]

How can #HigherEd "craft student experiences that nurture growth and resilience"? Check out @hmmcdougall's proposal for @SXSWEDU 2020: https://t.co/C38GdZB4DR I just signed in to 'vote up' this important session.

@kateo’s keynote at #uxa2019 argues that what’s good for business and what’s good for humanity needn’t be a diacotomy. Familiar themes for our @STREATmelbourne talk this afternoon! @MakeHCD

[Harriet McDougall @hmmcdougall]

🤭 @apolaine on synthetic realities #uxa2019

[Harriet McDougall @hmmcdougall]

“None of these people ever existed” Is @apolaine ‘s talk giving anyone else the willies? #uxa2019

[Harriet McDougall @hmmcdougall]

@kateo @aral Total genius. Will never be able to mention blockchain without this guy’s moustache in my mind again 😂

[Harriet McDougall @hmmcdougall]

Favourite slide of @aral opening keynote: “blockchain is a right libertarian fantasy ...that puts coins in the pocket of a few other libertarians” #uxa2019
