Yes, it seems strange to re-make the franchise at this time. All 7 novels were adapted into a highly successful film series, so it's not as though it is like The Chronicles of Narnia where no adaptation has ever completed the series.

Maybe he's just transfixed by the camera. Shiny!

Why not both?

Ouch, that's going to hurt. I completely understand why, but still...

His efforts were only a dismal failure if the original intention was to improve government functioning whilst lowering costs.

On the other hand, if it was to gut the government and funnel money to Musk and co, then it's been a roaring success.

Yeah, he raises a good point.

The question then becomes: how do we make the people who feel excluded (and hence want to burn everything down) feel included?

Thanks for this. Nice to see someone following the money back to actual companies.

Yeah, it took a bit of getting used to when I started following politics and everyone was referring to "liberals" as left-leaning! The Liberal/National Party (LNP or Coalition) is more libertarian than liberal.

Labor (the ALP) is centrist. The biggest left-leaning party are the Greens. There are a host of smaller parties and independents that usually get a handful of seats too.

This expert hasn't been paying attention if that headline is a true reflection of their views (I suspect it's just exaggerated for effect, though). The Trump Administration has been consistently pushing the limits with ignoring/disobeying the courts to see what they can get away with.

The LNP has appeared to back down from MAGA-esque policies, but I don't believe they are being honest with their "change of heart". Their established behviour and lack of support for workers' rights, etc., almost guarantees that if they were to get into power, they'd eventually go back to their original policies of ending WFH, gutting the federal government, etc.

This happened a while ago. The US has technically been in a constitutional crisis for months, as Trump was not actually eligible to run for president. There's been multiple violations since then, too.

That has to be Chaotic Evil.

I would probably put that as being similar to the "Chaotic Good" with ffmpeg.

If on Windows, there's Irfanview and its batch processing.

It's missing the "take a screenshot on your mobile phone" (which drives me nuts when people do this instead of sending me the link or the original photo).

The irony is that, according to the article, it already does. What is changing is that the LLM will be able to use more of that data:

OpenAI is rolling out a new update to ChatGPT's memory that allows the bot to access the contents of all of your previous chats. The idea is that by pulling from your past conversations, ChatGPT will be able to offer more relevant results to your questions, queries, and overall discussions.

ChatGPT's memory feature is a little over a year old at this point, but its function has been much more limited than the update OpenAI is rolling out today... Previously, the bot stored those data points in a bank of "saved memories." You could access this memory bank at any time and see what the bot had stored based on your conversations.... However, it wasn't perfect, and couldn't naturally pull from past conversations, as a feature like "memory" might imply.

True. Here in Australia the rapid progression of the Trump administration has definitely resulted in some last-minute policy changes by our major conservative party. I don't believe they will honour their new campaign promises for a moment if they get into power, based on their previous behaviour, but it has been nice to see a bit of a reality check.

I take your point - that the rapid progression might shock some people into action - but also keep in mind that Hitler took control of Germany rather quickly too and we all know how that ended.

Yeah, I thought we'd at least get to June before they tried this.

They've really given up on being subtle about anything, haven't they? This is a clear conflict of interest and yet I doubt anyone is going to stop Musk.
