Anthony Albanese announcing a national approach to AI today. Having largely missed the opportunity to lead the world with renewable energy because of a decade of ignorant pigshit from Australia’s conservatives when they were in power, let’s see if we can balls-up this one too. Meanwhile the report mentioned here is bilge from Greenpeace in their usual activist way. A smart country would use the pressures of AI to re-assert a much more aggressive rollout of renewable energy in Australia, leveraging one to boost the other at the same time. I‘m not holding my breath. ‘Community consultation’ is the disease here now, meaning giving whining ignorance on social media the right to express its feelings and assert peoples’ precious identities in battles over social status, over the rights of the nation to actually progress.
