Have We Already Witnessed the Last Reasonably Fair U.S. Election—for Now?
It’s looking increasingly likely. The Republican gerrymander in Texas could yield up to 5 additional seats. Meanwhile, California is pushing to reverse gerrymander by the same margin—but that hinges on a state referendum. ctd.

Has Copilot been trained in the ancient Chinese art of kowtowing? I’m beginning to think so.

Yesterday I went back in time 48 years and, with the aid of artificial intelligence and time travel, gave my younger self advice about life. You can see the result below. We are both avatars here.

Meta (Fbook, Insta, Threads) has great problems monitoring for content that breaches community standards. There's mountains of posts full of #racism & #misinformation that #Meta never gets too. But it has managed to suspend my account twice, only to unlock it with a letter of apology.

Can Meta get anything right? People are complaining about being suspended on Instagram and Threads for no reason they can remotely understand. Good to be with Bluesky :)

I interviewed Australian Government Services Minister Bill Shorten on the rollout of Digital ID across the nation. The new Act takes force on December 1. The interview was on the sidelines of the National Tech Summit Enjoy. tinyurl.com/na5j5unn #technology

The tech for Australia's social media ban for <16s is not new. Age verification is in several US states, Facebook already checks users are >13 or 18+ for Dating. You submit ID or take a selfie using Yoti AI age estimates. But there are accuracy issues, VPN workarounds, geo-spoofing to trick it ctd.

The arrest of Australia’ once most powerful radio host Alan Jones, 83, on 26 charges including sexual touching and indecent assault brings to a close the total dominance of certain radio hosts in our political system here. But just as one era ends, another looms large.

Is Gen AI ready for Christmas? I used Msoft Copilot to create this Santa image for an Xmas party invitation. The reindeers look like toy dogs; Santa isn't connected to the reins & is floating in mid-air, there are lots of "reindeers" floating in the sky. Somehow it's what I expect from algorithms.

Interesting to consider what I will do on Bluesky. My personal social media reach remains Facebook (family and friends still there), and Instagram (love posting photos) while I use LinkedIn professionally as a technology journalist. Industry people, companies, insiders are all there. (ctd)

Last week I was at the National Tech Summit in Melbourne, hosted by the Tech Council of Australia, interviewing Bill Shorten, Minister for Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme. There are big weeks ahead in tech in Australia with the country’s Digital ID Act to come into force by Dec 1.

Lots of collateral damage around the US poll result. You can read all about it elsewhere. But I want to say, I’m really sorry for my Ukrainian friends (I have many, I’ve spent time there) with Trump saying he’ll end the war in a day which would see Ukraine ceding about 20pc of its land.

I’ve left 14,000 followers behind on X to join Bluesky but feel good about it. I’ll try and drag some of the others across!
