A year ago this month, I addressed the chamber in a speech much like this one. I sought to raise issues that were affecting young Australians in a language they were familiar with. I've come back to the Senate to, once again, argue the views of Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
With that said, to the sigmas of Australia, the goofy ahh government is still capping. But is anyone surprised? When a rizzless, auraless unc prime minister is running a show, a chopped government is what follows. It seems like, every day, they're asking: 'Twin, can I borrow a dollar? Twin?' It's so performative I'm surprised there isn't a 'Minister for Labubus' or a 'Parliamentary Secretary for Dubai Chocolate'.
One of the issues I've been tweaking about lately is AI safety. Australia has the potential to be peak at implementing this technology safely, but, at the moment, there's more AI slop than a Deloitte report—ICL TS PMO SM, wilted rose emoji. Whenever the government talk about AI, they tell us the incredible productivity lift it offers—@grok, is this true? Like speed doing a backflip, the attitude is gurt, but only the dangerous part.
Our government, like Tung Tung Tung Sahur, needs to wield a big stick. To all the industry insiders who suggest that AI should be allowed to train on copyrighted material for free, I only have one thing to say: SYDAU. Some new gens think what I'm doing is clip farming, but I'll keep rage baiting until they crash out. So, Sigmas, keep hopeposting, keep mewing and keep doing it your best, twin. Those who know. Oh, and—Six Seven!
