Adobe Photoshop's AI tools put women politicians in bikini bottoms and their male colleagues in suits
  • Looks like it does do the thing Adobe claimed it wouldn't after all.

    Still poor form from Nine for using it in the first place, and for not catching it in the editorial process. But seems this is just another reminder this week of the biases of generative models.

    Create a race to the bottom in the rental market
  • Housing costs, rental or purchase, are only resolved by supply and ending real estate's position as an investment vehicle.

    That means large scale public housing investment to the point that it actively devalues property on a capital value bases. Rental yields are already a poor investment on their own. That leaves the "just park the money" crowd with a simple choice: sell now or watch it depreciate.

    Israel says South Africa distorting the truth in ICJ genocide case
  • Interesting that the BBC article omits the words of Christopher Staker entirely when he spoke at length on behalf of Israel as well.

    I guess too much of that was too reminiscent of his defence of Myanmar’s genocide of the Rohingya.

  • Government considers recruiting ADF personnel from overseas
  • Putting aside all the issues with any foreign national fighting on behalf of other nations in the least complicated scenarios, in the current Pacific context and with Australia's position against China's growing involvement in the region I find it hard to believe the entanglements this would potentially produce aren't considered a fringe benefit.

  • “CPJ is deeply alarmed by the pattern of journalists in Gaza reporting receiving threats, and subsequently, their family members being killed,” said CPJ Middle East and North Africa Program Coordinator Sherif Mansour. “The killing of the family members of journalists in Gaza is making it almost impossible for the journalists to continue reporting, as the risk now extends beyond them also to include their beloved ones.”

    Anti-Semitism on US campuses: Fallout from congressional hearing • FRANCE 24 English
  • Bombing civilians is not a trait of Jewish people. Using access to humanitarian aid and water as a weapon of war is not a trait of Jewish people. Destroying the healthcare systems supporting 2 million people is not a trait of Jewish people.

    The US has a major party that is stuffed to the gills with Ur-fascists, Christian nationalists and white supremacists. Do you really think there’s no understanding from those elements of the Republican Party of what’s being done in attempting to cast opposition to the crimes of the Israeli government as opposition to Jewish people in general?
