Australian AI, from the #NPC all the way down thanks to @emmadavidson.

Shorter: don’t forget trains, something something digital embassies, stock options, teachers, automated screening, don’t think about Robodebt, ok jobs are a problem but they’ll be lost offshore anyway, and then we’ll have more jobs, and we can win at data centres, we won’t even need water because we can just use power, ok creative jobs, that’s a problem, but new jobs! we can still win this bike race.

Aus.SocialEmma Davidson (@emmadavidson@aus.social)I’m at the National Press Club for Scott Farquhar’s address, I’ll be tooting about it here. Mute this thread if you don’t want to see it.

#Atlassian co-founder Scott Farquar at the #NPC today, talking up AI. Not a topic I have any interest or understanding of, but since offspring #1 has recently started working at Atlassian, I've taken an interest in the doings of the company, be they good or bad (and they have a bad record on tax, although I think have redeemed themselves somewhat).

Continued thread

There will be NPCs who you randomly encounter and engage in polite conversation - but beware of the Gossip! You don't know who he or she is, but you must figure it out based on the rumours suddenly swirling around you!

When asked by a young journo (missed his name) whether he considers China a security threat, Albo just waffles on.... which clearly means 'yes'. Says it all really. Our biggest trading partner: a security threat? What bullshit. State capture at its worst: captured by the Seppos, with a madman at the helm. #AusPol #npc

Theme of today's #NPC address is #SexualViolence. Journo Julie Hare rises to her feet to ask a question, but prefaces it with a comment that the room is predominantly women, and there's our problem right there: it shouldn't be a woman's problem. Justice Mordy Bromberg asks the media to take the topic more seriously and sensitively; the culture defo needs to change.
