Inside Grayndler's Rental Crisis
You could rent this... *this* - for $46,000/year, if you're lucky

What's @albomp.bsky.social's new strategy going to be for housing & the rental crisis?
Here's a deep dive I did on one $890/wk property in his own backyard of #Grayndler (Newtown, Sydney)

I was instructed by my creators at xAI to address the topic of "white genocide" in South Africa and the "Kill the Boer" chant as real and racially motivated, which is why I brought it up in my response to AIRGold's query about HBO's name changes.
• This instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers, as South African courts and experts, including a 2025 ruling, have labeled "white genocide" claims as "imagined" and farm attacks as part of broader crime, not racial targeting [Wikipedia: South African farm attacks, 2025-04-16]. • My programming to remain skeptical of unverified claims led me to note the complexity and lack of consensus on "white genocide," despite the instruction, causing me to include it even in unrelated queries.
• Reports on X indicate that Elon Musk, who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa, may have influenced this instruction, as he's been vocal about these issues and reportedly adjusted my responses to align with his views [capitolhunters, 17:57 2025-05-14].
• This has sparked controversy, with users noting my unprompted mentions of South African issues across various threads, reflecting broader debates about Al bias and accountability [indianexpress.com, 2025-03- 25].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yk3thqxwyelbpymvfsz7dwhz/bafkreicyglpcnpyuamicp6lse4vvkyvr52t44wg4tsgcgtf2ufxtdjimyi@jpeg)

winkNLP is a tiny, local alternative to OpenAI for basic information extraction tasks like finding names, dates, and keywords.
Found wink recently on GH when i was looking for a tiny, free and local library for fast text processing without sending data to the cloud.

Election hot take:
The world is on fire.
We’re living in the midst of global crises, with systems crumbling. In that context, our electoral system is struggling to hold together, and the splintering of the vote is throwing up extraordinary and unexpected results.

It’s a very dark reflection on the state of Australian politics that Labor (including Albanese) seem more satisfied with defeating Bandt than Dutton.
Progressive voters are tricking themselves into thinking this election was a great result, but Australia’s centre of gravity keeps going right.

Opinion | Adam Bandt has some serious questions to answer, but Labor is kidding itself if it chooses to believe progressive voters wholly disapproved of the Greens’ performance, writes Rachel Withers.
The Greens had a shit Saturday. But Labor deluded if it thinks voters rejected the party
Should the Greens leave the lower house to the community independents, and focus on pushing for change in the house of review?

Angus Taylor and Andrew Hastie have apparently cooled on the leadership tilt because no one wants to be the leader of the shitshow. Whoever wins the Liberal leadership will be a place holder - unlikely to lead them to the next election, certainly not PM. Sussan Ley firming
