Show Notes

An investigation by Et Media reveals that The Daily Perspective, a new Australian news outlet, operates entirely on AI-generated content by scraping articles from legitimate news sources. The site features bylines attributed to non-existent journalists described as 'AI editorial personas', with an anonymous Australian software engineer running the operation. A separate discussion examines rising pocket money trends, with Australian children now receiving an average monthly allowance of just over $50, up from the previous year.
