Yeah ... because employees understand that AI can't be trusted (we've all seen the mistakes!) whereas execs only care about the cost savings 😕
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

NSW Police proudly wasting millions on this next-to-useless police vessel “Nemesis” which has been cruising Newcastle Harbour trying to intimidate climate protestors this weekend.
Your tax dollars being flushed. Ohhh and Labor wants to buy a new one for a cool $46.5 million.

"Critics have likened Mr. Trump’s approach to extortion, while others have chalked it up as a cost of doing business with this administration."

If a Liberal State Government was wrecking the Victorian #StateLibrary & trashing the services it exists to provide, ALP members might be protesting. As it is, pretty much crickets. If you don't save the State Library you're going to lose more seats to indies, Teals & Greens. Interested now? #vicpol

I’ve just been informed that not permitting scientific misinformation on my feed, including claims that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne HIV, is “tone policing”.
It’s actually fact-checking. I don’t give a shit who is posting misinformation or why. Zero tolerance.

This sets out the clear, bullet-point agreed plan that, if funded by Australian governments, would stop most ongoing family violence & make women & children way safer. Governments choose not to, while spending $60m on PNG men's rugby, $96m on crap BOMsite, millions on dicky consultants, etc.
Australia knows how to end gender-based violence. What we lack is the political will to make the fiscal decisions that match the crisis, writes Katherine Berney.

How ludicrous for Labor to cut $5 billion in public services during a cost of living crisis. Every six months the government pays around $5b in Fuel Tax Credits to mining corporations to burn fossil fuels. If Labor is going to cut spending, cut handouts to fossil fuel barons.

Just give it straight. Vaccine skeptics don't need sarcasm. Excellent studies of millions of children over decades show no link whatsoever between vaccines & autism, asthma or other chronic health conditions. They do show an extra protective effect in general health as well as against diseases.

Paying Nauru billions to break international law for us
Last night @davidpocock.bsky.social and I read onto the Hansard an interview by the President of Nauru that the Albanese Government has been desperately trying to keep secret.
It shows Nauru plans to send refugees to places they fled. No wonder the secrecy.
