On 1xBet, the strange and shady company which has become rapidly more visible across tennis in 2025 despite *many* reasons for tours, tournaments, and federations to steer clear of its mess.

Lots of odd details here, free for all to read at Bounces:

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

part of what I had to cut from this was about how this isn't coming from nowhere - Elon is constantly discussing comedy, criticising comedians, saying comedy is legal again, trying to make being anti 'woke comedy' part of his personality. That makes him open to criticism about it

The National Socialist Network held an antisemitic rally outside New South Wales Parliament today - astoundingly, it's emerged this afternoon that they did this with approval from NSW Police. www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...
Police allowed Nazi rally outside NSW parliament
More than 60 people attended Saturday morning’s rally after notifying police more than a week ago. The police commissioner said he had no idea it was going to happen.

A very simple reform would be for the state to pay child support, and charge liable parents themselves. I’m pretty confident the government would mysteriously improve its capacity to recover the money when it wasn’t single parents going out of pocket.
Australia’s current child support debt is the highest it has been in a decade. As of December 2024, $1.9 billion was owed, with 153,694 non-payers. While interest on unpaid amounts is payable to the government, it’s not passed on to the parents who are owed
It is a criminal offence not to file tax returns on time, but the penalty is paltry. Meanwhile, thousands of Australian fathers are able to avoid child support payments by not filing returns, working cash in hand, hiding money in trusts or moving overseas. satpa.pe/qGOX9ZU

there is not. it is using a (highly complicated, multidimensional) statistical model to guess the next word in the chain

that is ALL it is doing

that is ALL it CAN do

there is no difference between valid output and hallucination

it can’t search its data, or demonstrate creativity or insight
