'the prime minister has been flirting with the idea of giving away the copyright of Australian creatives in exchange for tech companies building giant data centres that no one but the tech companies want built...exploitation of Australian resources by foreign companies is so vast, and has been happening for so long, that it is hard for most Australians to comprehend just how royally we have been shafted' #publicPolicy #genAI #technology #ausPol #labor

Can Anthony Albanese be trusted to negotiate on AI?

To understand Australia’s approach to artificial intelligence, you have to understand the colonial mindset that enfeebles Australian politicians.

RE: https://scholar.social/@natebowling/116976065066476739 'In states that have legalized sports betting the average citizen is worse off. A 2024 UCLA study found that legalization is associated with lower average credit scores, increased debt collection instances, and a rise in bankruptcy filings' #auPol #gambling #publicPolicy

I keep coming back to the ecological concept of "shifting baseline syndrome": each generation mistakes the world it inherits for the way things have always been. Anyone between the ages of 18 to 21 has spent their adolescence in a world in which options trading, sports betting, prediction markets, and crypto are commonplace activities. That's a drastic departure from recent norms and we're all worse off for it. Words by me. https://buttondown.com/natebowling/archive/everything-is-gambling-now/

@cstross@wandering.shop @ViennaMike@mastodon.social @ireneista@adhd.irenes.space As a #PublicPolicy wonk I'm already remembering how different our common law legal systems have become in just three centuries. Over here they're still worried about the anti-porn #Censorship case where the #SupremeCourt refused to define what they were censoring. They famously said, "I know it when I see it," grumble grumble prurient use in commerce, harrumph typical opinion of ordinary firmness, followed by thirty years of chipping off corners without admitting they were sort of making shit up.
