Qantas CEO Alan Joyce had spent July 2022 on vacation in Europe. In his absence, Qantas and Jetstar customers endured the worst month of service reliability since records were kept, paired with the highest airfares in living memory.
Qantas management did not appear to comprehend the diabolical risk to the airline’s brand of robbing their customers blind, then, as an added bonus, showing them the worst time of their lives.
Roy Morgan’s latest consumer research on Qantas was typified by responses like, “I hate how they operate. They take your money, cancel your flight at any time. You have to fight to get your money back,” and “I don’t like their treatment of staff throughout the pandemic”.

Thread by derek guy via Twitter – I want to show you how to get some deals on eBay. Since I write about menswear, this thread will be focused on men’s clothing and accessories. But my guess is that you can apply these tricks to other categories…So my first tip is that you should learn how to use eBay’s full search capabilities. There are two parts to this. First, learn how to do Boolean searches. I’ve typed up a little cheatsheet. If you bookmark this tweet, you can save it for later…
OK, now you know how to do a Boolean search on eBay. Once you’ve searched for something, I want you to click the box for “include description.” This allows your search to cover auction titles AND descriptions. Why is this important? Because auction descriptions have a lot of info… [in other words, search like a librarian and leverage metadata!]

Art Technica: “A school district in Massachusetts was sued by a student’s parents after the boy was punished for using an artificial intelligence chatbot to complete an assignment. The lawsuit says the Hingham High School student handbook did not include a restriction on the use of AI.
“They told us our son cheated on a paper, which is not what happened,” Jennifer Harris told WCVB.
“They basically punished him for a rule that doesn’t exist.” Jennifer and her husband, Dale, filed the lawsuit in Plymouth County Superior Court, and the case was then moved to US District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Defendants include the superintendent, principal, a teacher, the history department head, and the Hingham School Committee.
The student is referred to by his initials, RNH. The lawsuit alleges violations of the student’s civil rights, including “the Plaintiff Student’s personal and property rights and liberty to acquire, possess, maintain and protect his rights to equal educational opportunity.”
The defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, filed last week, said RNH admitted “that he used an AI tool to generate ideas and shared that he also created portions of his notes and scripts using the AI tool, and described the specific prompt that he put into the chatbot.
RNH unequivocally used another author’s language and thoughts, be it a digital and artificial author, without express permission to do so. Furthermore, he did not cite to his use of AI in his notes, scripts or in the project he submitted.”
