Yeah, this is already Australia's best performance at the Winter Olympics so far, with 3 golds. Passing our previous best, 2010's 2 golds.

Ibtimes has been predominantly clickbait slop since long before LLMs were even a thing. I recall seeing them pop up with good SEO and shitty worthless content circa 2010.

So I am not the least bit surprised to hear they'd have embraced AI slop.

It really is pretty great how much support it's been getting even after all these years.

The headline items:

  • Complete rework of naval gameplay, introducing the new Hulk-line ship to counter fire ships and relegating fire ships to a more utilitarian function. Also moving all ships to the first page of the dock, by moving some techs out of the dock and into the university.
  • Voice chat feature in multiplayer lobbies. Enabled by default.
  • Waypoint & gather point flags are unique to each civ now
  • Big hotkey changes which might reset some existing hotkeys to default

Some other points I thought were worth mentioning:

  • Fixed an issue where units with a ranged charge attack could fire instantly when ungarrisoning from a siege weapon.
  • Siege tower base movement speed increase, no longer gains speed with garrisoned infantry, also HP reduction
  • Fire lancer cost increase, train time increase

These combined are a great way to nerf the fire lancer + siege tower play that was so bad they had to ban siege towers entirely from the Wololo qualification ladder

  • Inca campaign changes to make use of newer units
  • Big changes to Inca civ to make use of newer units & buildings
  • Spanish missionaries can now carry relics, but have speed reduction while doing so
  • Various other civ changes, especially relating to new units
  • Added some gorgeous-looking new terrains, including Terrace Cliff for the Incan theme
  • New multiplayer servers in Texas and Chile, to improve latency for Central and South American players
  • More alleged pathfinding improvements

Aye, that was the response the ABC sent me. I think I already posted my Labor MP's office's much swifter response elsewhere in the thread.

Cookies & cream ice cream, I believe.

 

A week and a half ago I shared an ABC article that I had a pretty scathing review of for how one sided it was, and shared the details of my complaint.

Today, the ABC responded.

Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback about the report on Queensland Parliament's proposed hate laws.

A spokesperson for the Justice for Palestine was interviewed later in the afternoon on the day of the announced reforms. Her comments were included in the video version of the story and should have been sent through to our digital team to be added to the online story. This didn't happen. It was an error and after receiving your complaint I asked the team to amend the article. A quote from the Justice of Palestine spokesperson and an explanation of the contested nature of the phrases has been added, along with an editor's note identifying the update.

I've spoken directly with the journalists involved in an effort to ensure they learn from the mistake.

Once again, thanks for sending through your complaint which will help improve our work in future.

I note that the added section:

The meaning of "globalise the intifada" is contested. The word "intifada" means "shaking off" in Arabic and has been used to refer to two periods of violent Palestinian protest against Israel. Many in the Jewish community argue use of the term is hateful and a call for violence.

Merely points out that it is "contested", before giving an entirely one-sided definition.

So, not competing under the Russian flag.

Ah right, so this was one employee who went rogue, and not an approved part of the planned broadcast? Very brave man!

Personally I think if LW wants to ban a certain kind of content, more power to them. But they should be transparent about it.

If they've said they'll unban pirate content, then pirate content should be allowed. If they want it banned, fine, but make a statement clarifying that that is the case.

OP is doing good work by pointing this out.
