The head of Australia’s biggest and most profitable bank says reimbursing hundreds of millions of dollars in fees to its lower income customers would be an “appropriation” of shareholder money.

Someone at work was talking about how we can go from creating things to checking AI outputs LIKE IT WAS A GOOD THING.
