Agree! I use Claude for rudimentary tasks, as I need to keep abreast of the technology. But the principle behind the whole industry is dangerously flawed. (Or deliberately flawed.)

It's theft, pure and simple. Like many authors, I recently discovered my books are part of a pirated dataset being used to train artificial intelligence. Surely, Meta has enough money to pay for its data...? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Proof of life! We all made it to the top of the Sealy Tarns in NZ on our UN Women Trek for Rights, and some even went further. Although it almost killed me, it's a metaphor for life: one foot in front of the other. These trekkers have shown extraordinary resilience, kindness and joie de vivre.

A few thoughts on the media during this time of reflection around International Women's Day. I hope you enjoy my musings on how far we've come, and how far we have to go. Thank you for highlighting this ongoing issue, Samantha Scott. #IWD2025 #MarchForward

Happy International Women's Day! Or is it? I've been despairing about the current backlash, but it’s heartening to see so many people pushing back. Today, we celebrate the women who've broken down barriers, and chart a path ahead. I hold a lot of hope for young people, leading the march forward!

Not only is this the second explosion in a row for Musk, but this launch wasn't even supposed to happen—as the investigation into the _last_ one isn't done yet. The only reason this launch went forward is Trump's FAA cleared it prematurely as a favor to Musk. Now FL travelers are paying the price.

Thinking of everyone in south-east Qld as Cyclone Alfred tears towards the coast. Chatting with Dad in Brisbane today brought back memories of the '74 flood associated with Cyclone Wanda. The road was metre-deep with water, mud, and dozens of floating cane toads: www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/brisban...

We talk a lot about the gender pay and superannuation gaps around International Women's Day. But we should also put a 'gender lens' on the once-in-a-generation reforms to Australia's aged care system. Check out my article below, as Ambassador for Your Side: www.thesenior.com.au/story/889785...

Grateful thanks to ABC psephologist Antony Green who is retiring from on-screen election night duties after 36 years. Antony’s data sets helped all electors and candidates understand exactly how Australia’s compulsory preferential voting system works = a functioning democracy.

International Women's Day has special significance this year. On the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the Beijing Declaration, we're in the middle of an almighty backlash. I'd love to see you for the launch of the LeadHERship Network on March 10 in Sydney. doltonehouse.com.au/ticketed-eve...

Yes Marty Sheargold, the 14% of Australians diagnosed with endometriosis are faking their chronic disease. We simply lied about undergoing surgery and receiving a pathological biopsy of the tissue for a definitive diagnosis. How did you know?? 😱

Musk went straight to the slurs after being called out yet again for saying that astronauts have been stranded on the International Space Station by the Biden administration for “political reasons”—a lie that astronauts themselves have repeatedly debunked.

Timeline cleanse! The Grand Canyon Walking Track in the Blue Mountains is simply stunning. You can walk under several waterfalls, and see bright orange crayfish in the streams. It's all part of training for a five-day trek in New Zealand next month, to raise money for UN Women.
