Adobe Photoshop's AI tools put women politicians in bikini bottoms and their male colleagues in suits
  • Looks like it does do the thing Adobe claimed it wouldn't after all.

    Still poor form from Nine for using it in the first place, and for not catching it in the editorial process. But seems this is just another reminder this week of the biases of generative models.

    Create a race to the bottom in the rental market
  • Housing costs, rental or purchase, are only resolved by supply and ending real estate's position as an investment vehicle.

    That means large scale public housing investment to the point that it actively devalues property on a capital value bases. Rental yields are already a poor investment on their own. That leaves the "just park the money" crowd with a simple choice: sell now or watch it depreciate.
