By a remarkable coincidence:
LINKGRAM FROM THE LINK INSTITUTE
US AI Data Centers Nationalized to Correct History
Dateline USA, 1 January 0001 NA (New Era): The Link Institute today
announced it had been tasked by the new government, to commence
correction of the national archive of historic film and video. This will
be extended to the catalogs of all film, TV and streaming companies.
Professor Klerphil, Director of the Institute said:
"With the collapse of the AI Bubble, there is excess computing capacity
available to correct the errors in our historical records. All mention
of the nation ever having started, or lost, a war will be corrected. Any
documentary, or fictional work which shows otherwise will need to be
re-rendered, so the people in it will speak the corrected truth. Data
centers which previously mined Bitcoin, then AI, can now render a
service to their country by re-rendering history."
The project will exploit CSCM technology (2), developed in North USA
(previously known as "Canada"), to generate the technology required
recursively, and apply it in the education system.
Klerphel rejected criticism of the initiative:
"This is exactly the sort of loony ideology which is damaging our
country and which we aim to stamp out, retrospectively. This nation is
the home of freedom and capitalism, which is why all data centers are
being nationalized from midnight tonight. Selected digital artists will
receive orders to help with the effort, and are required to report to
the West Coast Detention Center (previously known as 'Hollywood')."
The one exception to the revision order Klerphel said, was the streaming
series "The Man in the High Castle" (1), which has been rendered correctly.

Subject: [LINK] Planned nbn outage comms
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
A mate just commenting how they received a notification earlier this morning
about a planned nbn outage to occur this morning up to 11am.
I?ve experienced the same with my service notifications from my retailer
(Vodafone).
Yet the nbn service outage checker for any address indicates it lists planned
outages for ten days in advance.
https://www.nbnco.com.au/support/network-status
Is this the retailer being slack, a lack of data driven comms flow between
wholesaler and retailer, a generous use of the term ?planned? by the
wholesaler, or ? ?
cheers

Not much good for Physio (though a student mentioned motivation of
patient to do exercises is a big issue).
Then there is Speech Therapy (by the way, you tube recitation of poetry
could be useful eg 'Municipal Gum' by Oodgeroo Noonuccal (Poetry
Analysis Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBq896u0794).
Then there is NDIS assessment is a psychologist's "mild to moderate mild
or moderate" assesment.? but Issue for NDIS is will any therapy improve.
on SBS https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-series/the-people-vs-robodebt
and
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/specialfeatures/mr-bates-vs-the-post-office-timeline-of-the-uk-horizon-scandal/
even the chatbot support on local stock registries websites are having
difficulty.
