to be fair, the article specifically references “toxic males” and is focused on the challenges for young men in particular. What seems obviously lacking in the story is any reference to the diminished economic potential that all young people face. 30 years ago education and housing were somewhat reasonably priced and and generally available to all. Economic stress is a huge factor and immediate source of stress and anxiety that is completely ignored in the article. How is one supposed to feel ‘cocky’ while struggling to keep their head above water financially?

I did not know until now that it is possible to embed external images within posts and replies. I thought the only option was to upload to your instance.

this is bothersome, but if you use a VPN then at least there’s that.

otherwise it’s feasible to track captured addresses based on which posts they read by posting an external image in the post or a reply.

if you are seeing images in this post, then your client address is visible to any external image hosts.

no. the remote server will log the requests based on the client address. it is a good argument for using a vpn.

Given that they know exactly who you are, I wouldn’t get too personal with anything but it is amazing for many otherwise time-consuming problems like programming. It’s also quite good at explaining concepts in math and physics and and is capable of reviewing and critiquing student solutions. The development of this tool is not miraculous or anything - it uses the same basic foundation that all machine learning does - but it’s a defining moment in terms of expanding capabilities of computer systems for regular users.

But yeah, I wouldn’t treat it like a personal therapist, only because it’s not really designed for that, even though it can do a credible job of interacting. The original chat bot Eliza, simulated a “non directional” therapist and it was kind of amazing how people could be drawn into intimate conversations even though it was nothing like ChatGPT in terms of sophistication - it just parroted back what you asked it in a way that made it sound empathetic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

About time. Well done. More to follow, hopefully.

"The ABC has received queries about the presence of an ABC news team at yesterday’s protest action at the home of Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill.

A Four Corners team attended the protest action to gather material for a potential report later this year.

Just prior to the action the team received a tip to go to an address, they had no knowledge what was at the address or that it was someone’s house.

They had no knowledge of what action was going to occur there.

When they arrived the police were already in attendance, in numbers.

The ABC team remained on public land observing what was happening and getting some vision, as journalists do.

They at no time went on to private property or had any involvement in what was happening.

The ABC team in no way colluded with the activists.

Update on 4 August 2023: In response to concerns that have been raised, the ABC is conducting a detailed examination of the circumstances surrounding this matter."
