Stupid business person with a dumb computer job emailed me with their AI, and I'm left having to figure out if they're a person who's made a mistake or an LLM and if it's even worth replying. I politely replied, and their AI response had SUMMARISED my 2 sentence email. What are we doing here???
![Responding to a query about airport transfers and if Australian travel agencies organise them or leave them up to clients, I respond: "Hi [redacted]
Sorry, I'm a self-employed tour guide, not a travel agent. Perhaps try asking Flight Centre, or Welcome to Travel?
Cheers,

Fascinating to hear MP Matt Keogh quote:
"Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me"
Has he read the first bit of the poem?

It'd be fun if an Australian film randomly had their characters refer to petrol as "guzzolene" to imply that Mad Max is happening off in a remote part of the country but isn't really a concern for city folks.

They tried naming the 22nd a "Day of Mourning" to prevent people protesting herzog being in Australia but realised we'll protest anyway. That's why they want to ram these new "hate speech" laws through parliament next week.

I rode on the weird new veloway. It feels like you're in a ditch, and in the sky at the same time.
