Jo Rainbow from Orange suggests AI can ask amusingly absurd questions like "Who put the Ram in Rama Lama Ding Dong?" or "Could a hamster win MasterChef?," highlighting how such inquiries can showcase AI limitations. Carolyn Lockett from Coffs Harbour describes her granddaughter and other young participants starting Nippers, an event focused on water safety for future lifesavers.

or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
