@cmkusher Perhaps take five seconds and actually check whether a mature age student can bring in their parents (they can't)

@stephendziedzic Agree that the accountability is important, but the mechanism has strayed very far from the original intent. Not great for getting talented execs if you are running a filter that selects only the people fine with being used as fodder in political campaigning

@elonmusk @kevinnbass Surely this is beneath even you

@mumbletwits Keen to know if it's any good!

@PaulineHansonOz Oh for sure, that definitely happened

@AvidCommentator Yes, people who migrate to a country eventually get old. The counterpoint is that Australia's ageing would have increased much faster without that immigration

@curtin_rc @dyrenfurth You guys need to log out of ChatGPT

@ajamesbragg Imagine jumping online right after this and saying it wouldn't have happened if you'd been in power. Absolutely demented. Log off champion

@ajamesbragg What, specifically, would you have done to avoid this?

@CampbellNewman skill issue

Grok surely needs a better prose style if it's going to be responsible for an encyclopaedia. So many long sentences, bitty and awkward.

@PaulBongiorno @TimWilsonMP Like, agree with it or not, isn't 'government spending contributes inflation' a pretty anodyne piece of political rhetoric?

[winter version @winter_version]

@PaulBongiorno @TimWilsonMP I feel like replying to an MP in this way should be beneath you?

@marrowing You have to wonder if it paves the way for some kind of regulation for adult use of these platforms too. Not bans but like, discouraging algorithms that keep people online for eight hours a day

@PinguCapital Good example here of his usual mode of argument which is to pick a position he doesn't like and attack it in any way he can, even if the reasons are contradictory ("claims that prices are growing faster than incomes aren't accurate, but anyway, it's fine that this is happening")

@TheKouk I don't understand how you are okay with the pyramid scheme element of this. For every person that makes free money from owning a property, someone else has to pay even more money to join the party

@PinguCapital 'framing the issue as an extreme argument that nobody makes' in response to a screenshot of an argument being made in a mainstream newspaper

Similar....

Now and then I see figurative language that for whatever reason feels AI generated - like this on RBA governor Michelle Bullock:

"like a soccer goalie in a perpetual penalty shootout... One who has good instincts for diving left or right. But relentlessly reactive nonetheless."

This from an Andrew Leigh speech is another, more likely AI-composed example (forgetting where you parked the ute? what?)
