Centrelink get pushed on how they get to take so long to "fix" their errors, while people cut off payments get no such luxury
Centrelink: "Well, our systems are large & complex"
@pennyallmanpayne.com: People impacted are very vulnerable & we're asking them to deal w/ a very complex system

A *very* good paper on AI, education and sci-fi here:
"As we demonstrate by analyzing the paradigmatic ideas espoused by Salman Khan, educational AI is designed to optimize the acquisition of knowledge and largely ignores other aspects of teaching and learning, such as care, play, or curiosity."

What do The Matrix and educational AI have in common? Unfortunately way too much, as they promote very narrow ideas of what education should be.
Instead, Alberto Romele and I highlight better sci-fi inspirations in this new paper in Educational Theory:

Having been a Brownie, Guide and young leader, and then had a Brownie daughter, I’ve always been proud of Girlguiding’s inclusivity. So I’m devastated to hear that they’ve decided to exclude trans girls from the organisation. Sign here to protest (and appeal directly if you have contact with them).

Lowest arts funding in the country despite a tourism industry that relies heavily on the local artists and artisans…. But it’s no problem to find $500k to subsidise Dave flipping Grohl?!? Are you kidding?

So the Foo Fighters are coming to Tasmania because the government paid $500k to "help facilitate that." I wonder how much "facilitation" will be going on to entice acts to the stadium. To the 40% who so desperately wanted this, you have been conned. #politas

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.
