Asked for examples of sexual harassment at law schools, ChatGPT named a GW prof accused of touching a student on a class trip to Alaska, citing a WashPost story.
The prof is real. The rest was made up.

Murdoch’s Daily Telegraph is trying to work out why Barack Obama would ever have imagined that Murdoch’s media is undermining democracy. So their Chief Reporter called to accuse me of putting this outlandish thought into his mind! theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

Student train passes used to have a printed condition that a travelling-for-free student was obliged to give up their seat for an adult. The wording was removed at least 20 years ago, probably due to adults bullying kids.
How times have changed. I’m on the 7:40 train from Wahroonga to the city, it’s packed. Most of the seats are occupied by school kids, everyone standing are adults, including some quite elderly people. St Pius Chatswood students are the most noticeable offenders

If an institution is fooled with false paperwork, why is that stealing from the institution's client and not from the institution?
There would be a lot more incentive for banks et. al to vet requests if they were held responsible for their mistakes.

Am in the middle of a very sad call with @IKEA. Ikea called yesterday to ensure we would be home for a delivery of 66 items we ordered a month ago. It didn't arrive.
But, on further enquiry, the order was not put on the truck because 3 of the 66 items were not available. The customer service officer suggested removing those 3 items and having it all delivered in 4 weeks' time.

There is irony in rocking up to a suicidal person's house with a gun, in order to help them.
#988Lifeline openly engages in nonconsensual active rescue despite its harms and lack of effectiveness. Callers seeking phone support can end up being escorted by police to a psychiatric hospital against their will--sometimes at gunpoint if the officers deem the person dangerous.

This is what the José Ramos-Horta - President of East Timor - had to say about Alexander Downer two days ago (ABC article 👇)
And this morning ABC invited Downer on to chat about the Queen.
