‘Please and thank you': Australians address AI with good manners
The Daily Telegraph's Tim Blair says Australians are saying 'please' and 'thank you' to artificial intelligence platforms like ChatGPT. 'With artificial intelligence, because it's, you know, it's part of your interwebs, and your computers and your modern society, every bit of input that you use through AI … has an energy cost,' Mr Blair told Sky News host Chris Kenny. 'Tens of millions of dollars apparently for all these various AI companies because people are saying or writing please and thank you AI, and good on you AI.'

‘Don't care': Snowy Hydro 2.0 workers' strike is ‘not noticeable'
The Daily Telegraph's Tim Blair says the Snowy Hydro 2.0 workers' strike is "not noticeable". "They haven't exactly picked a great moment for this strike," Mr Blair told Sky News host Chris Kenny. "It's like me boycotting the AFL, they don't care – it's not noticeable. "You don't really want greater public attention on your project when no one really likes the project or knows much about it."

‘Hectoring and annoying': The Teals' rhetoric during COVID-19 pandemic slammed
The Daily Telegraph's Tim Blair reminisces on the Teals during the COVID-19 pandemic, labelling their rhetoric 'hectoring and annoying'. 'During the period of COVID, we did have people, you know, who otherwise lived perfectly fine boring lives, but suddenly, they felt they were a part of something really important, you know, the survival of the species itself,' Mr Blair said. 'They had to watch every you know those horrible, horrible, months of premiers and health officials … people would watch them intently, because they felt like they were part of something crucial. 'And that's basically, again, what the climate activist movement is all about, so they've just transferred one passion to another, and it all ends up doing the same thing, telling us what to do in a very hectoring and annoying way.'

‘Karenism': Teals in the spotlight in last week of federal election campaigning
The Daily Telegraph's Tim Blair says the Teals have the spotlight in the last week of campaigning before the federal election. 'Today's just been Teal across the board, hasn't it – my favourite one though, will be, you've mentioned it already in this show, was the scampering away with the Liberal candidates call flute and then the immediate: 'oh, it's nothing to do with me, it'll be taken down' again,' Mr Blair said. 'It wasn't an immediate apology as well … as Monique pointed it out, but I mentioned in the column that these people have weaponised Karen's, they're very Karen-ish in all their behaviours. 'I'm kind of annoyed at myself for not noticing the Karenism earlier.'
