This whole thing has been a mess. Thousands of Aussies had to buy new phones due to them using a phone allowlist instead of a blocklist (arguably they should have just let the phones stop working instead of blocking them outright). The allowlist they used was missing hundreds of 4G capable phones and was missing just about every overseas model of phone. I know 2 people whose phones were blocked for no reason.
Tourists coming to Australia are finding their phones blocked here, preventing them from using their phones in Australia.
000 calls are borked for thousands of Aussies as well.
We are one of the only countries in the world to turn off 3G. And we're certainly the only one to fuck it up this badly. I'm convinced the big telcos only did this to drive phone sales (many of which will be bought/leased on exploitative plans), because god knows there's no other compelling reason to shut 3G off.
What a joke.
You don't think it's possible that offloading thought to AI could make you worse at thinking? Has been the case with technology in the past, such as calculators making us worse at math (in our heads or on paper), but this time the thing you're losing practice in is... thought. This technology is different because it's aiming to automate thought itself.
