Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

The UN, international rules based order is pretty much done. And Australia’s govt said not a word of compliant. Might is right. Albanese has not grasped that China, North Korea, Russia and anyone else can now claim the precedent of the Iran Bombing as justification for “pre-emptive” attacks.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

If the United States is preparing to join a direct attack on Tehran, that is madness. If we aren’t, publicly signalling that we are likely to is also madness.

We kept being told that journalism was a bulwark against fascism, a "fourth estate". This is the liberal frame for perceiving the industry's worth. But the reality is the polar opposite: fascism has been allowed to thrive, and could not have done so, without journalism.

Trump is reviewing AUKUS, but it was always a disaster for Australia. "How anyone would think this is a smart deal...is completely beyond me." Malcolm Turnbull spoke to @emmashortis.bsky.social about Australia's nuclear-powered submarine debacle. 🎧 theaus.in/45PiOKP #auspol

We don't have good words to describe governments and companies that accept 'climate science', but will knowingly burn the world for short term gain. Australia's government is openly planning to supply the fuel for the world's self destruction. I wrote about it, for @crikey.com.au -->>

Imagine if our health minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with public health experts. Or the climate minister said he wanted to spend more after meeting with climate scientists…no chance But defence… Defence spending never causes budget deficits or high interest rates #climate

Other countries tax their oil and gas industries. Australia subsidies ours. Our research found while gas prices boomed in 2022, LNG companies made windfall gains of up to $40 billion. PRRT take increased by less than $1 billion. It's time to fix the tax loopholes that Big Gas exploits. #auspol

Trump understands that tariff threats like the ones he posted this morning move markets downward. He's not ignorant about that dynamic. The question is which person or interest around him is gaining from it.

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.
