Some highlights from the report after briefly skimming through it.
- CPW1 indicated that they used ChatGPT regularly for around one month prior to the PA Report incident. CPW1 claimed that they used ChatGPT to save time and to present work more professionally.
- DFFH also interviewed staff in CPW1’s team. It was indicated that CPW1’s use of ChatGPT had been well known within the team for a period of around 3 – 4 months and possibly longer, and that they had demonstrated to other team members how it could be used. There were no admissions that other members of the team had used ChatGPT.
- Ultimately, DFFH found there were 100 cases with indicators that ChatGPT may have been used to draft child protection documents. The types of documents involved court reports, case notes, case plans and risk assessments...
- ... DFFH identified that nearly 900 employees had accessed the ChatGPT website within this period. This represents almost 13 per cent of DFFH’s workforce of around 7,000 employees.

I find this information very distributing.
OVIC finds department responsible for breaches of privacy through use of ChatGPT
> Investigation finds that the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing failed to take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of personal information and to protect personal information from unauthorised disclosure
The report: https://ovic.vic.gov.au/regulatory-action/investigation-into-the-use-of-chatgpt-by-a-child-protection-worker/
> # Investigation into the use of ChatGPT by a Child Protection worker
> In December 2023, the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) reported a privacy incident to the Office of the Information Commissioner (OVIC), explaining that a Child Protection worker had used ChatGPT when drafting a Protection Application Report (PA Report). The report had been submitted to the Children’s Court for a case concerning a young child whose parents had been charged in relation to sexual offences.
> Despite its popularity, there are a range of privacy risks associated with the use of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT. Most relevant in the present circumstances are risks related to inaccurate personal information and unauthorised disclosure of personal information.
> After conducting preliminary inquiries with DFFH, the Privacy and Data Protection Deputy Commissioner commenced an investigation under section 8C(2)(e) of the Privacy and Data Protection (PDP) Act with a view to deciding whether to issue a compliance notice to DFFH under section 78 of that Act.
> OVIC’s investigation considered whether the Department took reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of personal information and to protect personal information it holds from misuse, as required by the Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (Vic) and Information Privacy Principles 3.1 and 4.1.

That release is quite out of date. See this issue
[email protected] seems to be more what you're after. I stopped modding here because of how many spoons it took, but that other community has been so much more chill and easier to manage.
YTA. Not giving her heroin is animal abuse, just ask any heroin addict silly. God the thought of people like you make me sick, you deserved to be locked up and forced to use heroin in prison as there is no heroin alternative there.
Going to use TWICE the heroin now just to offset any meaningful change you may have caused. I hope your child gets the heroin she NEEDS.
I've seen a few new users here switching from lemmy.world after the incident there, but that might be coincidental
It's one of the many human rights we don't care about in Australia. It's targeted harassment and abuse of power.
Could you append this to your post? This is the latest update from us
edit: phew, remembered to change accounts
sockpuppet! /s
Thank you. I saw you in the meme post getting torn to shreds. I couldn't believe how upset everybody got in spite of how tame your comments were
I am the vegan extremist who banned Rooki and am the catalyst of this. The amount of shit you get for volunteering for a job no-one wants to do fucking sucks. I really appreciate the gratitude that's expressed from bloodmouths especially /s
Lemmy seems to harbor more resentment towards vegans than Reddit does, which is truly an incredible feat. Reactionaries, carnist apologists, debatemebros, are in no short order here, and have been circlejerking about this for two weeks now. An outstanding advertisement for places like vegantheoryclub.org, completely free from carnist vitriol.
I'm sorry to the vegans that have been affected by this. I tried to make this place a vegan place, but it is apparent that the powers that be are in opposition to this. Thanks for putting your trust in me, and thanks for the other moderators here <3
Be kind to all Earthlings.
Thanks for the summary. It's been a shame it seems nobody cares about what happened, because nearly everyone on lemmy hates vegans. The community on lemmy world is in a weird spot right now and I don't see it lasting much longer. I'll recommend anyone still on that community to check this one out (among others) as a replacement in an upcoming post.
Thank you so much for this reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. I wish more people would read it as with your other comments!
I can't believe how much outrage there has been over this. It seems to be making rounds on the entirety of lemmy every couple days
While you already have your answer, I thought I'd share this for anyone wanting to know a bit more about how Concerta works. The pills themselves use an osmotic-controlled release oral delivery system where part of the dose is given immediately and the rest is slowly given as the drug gets squeezed out a little hole (that's drilled out by lasers!) by osmotic pressure. It's really cool stuff and makes it quite different to Ritalin IR in how it feels and works.
I love how this comment is how I find out what's happened
Giving it a crack now. I really like the look and feel of it, thanks for sharing!
I literally banned the lemmy world instance admin for saying otherwise, but they reversed it. "Owning" another animal is not vegan and is speciesist. I've only seen carnists go on about "vegan pet ownership".

Figured that this community would appreciate power tripping lemmy world admins :)

Vitamin D3 Supplementation
Does anyone have a good source for vitamin d supplements? I'm deficient and need to supplement it.
Most of the supplements I could find online were not vegan, and the ones that were are exorbitantly priced. Like, surely vegan vitamin d3 can be bought in bulk for cheap? I'm probably not looking hard enough, but searching for "vegan vitamin d" kept giving me lanolin and "plant based".

This is the best one I've found:

Edit 2 (2024-04-07): Adding this here just in case anyone reads this in future. I haven't received my order from uproar and have had no successful contact with them. It's been a month now, so I'm ordering much the same at iherb. I've opted with the deva brand.
Mod transparency & update
This is a community for vegans by vegans. Its aim is to enable discussions about veganism first and foremost. We don't owe it to carnists to let them come here and walk all over our values just because they feel offended by our existence. This place is meant to be a safe space that is welcoming and kind.
After several incidents of brigrading by carnists and at the request of community members, I (and others on the mod team) have decided to be more strict in enforcing the rules here and ensure that the conversation isn't overrun by anti-vegans.
I've cleaned up the rules a bit and made it a bit shorter, I'd like feedback on that (also any mods feel free to change them up, it's more of a draft lol). I've also started following up by looking at the modlog and banning repeat offenders.
We also have new mods and I am sure that there would be room for others once we organise what we have currently. If you want to help now, please report comments/posts especially the ones that make the community unsafe for vegans.
I'm committed to making this place much less hostile, but oh my, some of these posts really do blow up at the worst of times.
Please, please, please be kind, not just to other humans and yourself, but to all the earthlings ✌️

This place need more moderators | See Comment Bellow
I don't think I've seen every strawman argument against veganism all at the same time in the same place like that last thread that reached the front page the other day...
There's one moderator on the community, but that's not enough to stop the trolls coming here to derail any semblance of vegan discourse. Like, banning carnists here isn't gonna happen (unless it does I guess), but we could have mods with copy-paste anti-strawman arguments with proper citations on standby, so hopefully it never gets as bad as the other thread.
I'm not a fan of heavily moderated places, but maybe having a rule like "don't post post x y z argument and watch a b c Earthling Ed video instead" would help cut out some of the "good-faith" antivegans. But then again, the omis were excusing their behavior as it "reached the front page of lemmy", that means murder is OK now! /s
Curious to see what the community's thoughts would be. Do we just need to relegate ourselves to the circlejerk communities from now on, or would this community actually be by vegans for vegans?
Edit 1: I am now a mod of the community. I've reworked the sidebar and added some resources on veganism, rules, and links to other communities. I am interested to gauge feedback on it, and if anyone has any suggestions please comment them :)
Do (ADHD) meds make anyone else struggle with socialising?
It seems that for me whenever the meds "kick in" I can't really mask properly anymore which causes undesired social issues with some friends (especially in an outdoor setting like this meme implies). Wondering how many others experience this, and does anyone know why this happens? I haven't found any good reading on it and the psychs I mention it to just dismiss it.
Good knowledge sources for tinkering Firefox
I am looking for alternative knowledge sources to mozillazine that's a bit more up to date.
Specifically, I am after something that explains advanced about:config options and what each sqlite file and storage directories in my profile are actually used for. When I search online for things I get unhelpful support articles from mozilla and random reddit threads with conflicting information.
I've played around with a lot of things through a lot of trial and error (I can share some about:config values if anyone's interested in them), but I'd like to be directed somewhere I can go to and check first to make sure I won't break my profile tinkering.
I already use ffprofile to set up my user.js, but I'm looking for something with more documentation without having to resort to reading the source code of firefox.
