Hanson recently paid tribute to our 🇺🇸emperor at Mar-a-lago. One Nation busted a few years ago by Al Jaz begging for 💰 to "change the electoral system in Australia" from 🇺🇸Koch corporation, owned by mega🇺🇸#AtlasNetwork funder oil-zillionaire Charles Koch.

I'd like to hear the answer to this - especially seeing as this govt has let AI into the treasury already FFS. Some people, me for one, wonder why AI safety wasn't publicly assessed *before* we infested the whole country's money system with it.

Hey, countries mulling a teen social media ban: Australia doesn’t know if ours works yet If you ignore what the politicians are saying, the official position of the regulator is that we don't know if the ban is helping our kids yet. That shouldn't be controversial, but it should be on the minds of those thinking about following us.

Relevant to news that the UK will first run a pilot of the teen social media ban, I wrote about Australia's evaluation of its own ban.

This study is an admission about the unknown impacts of the ban. (Outside of politics, it's a good thing to admit you're uncertain!)

Stop pretending to be dumb: the Iran War is about Greater Israel, not “liberation” - The Shot There is a map. There is a plan. There are quotes. There is evidence, both historic and fresh.

"For my sins, I understand that accursed platform and its highly manipulated rhythms like I understand how to fart. The near instantaneous and utterly implausible quantity of likes for such an unpopular, uncharismatic man pumping out such a complicit, lame tweet, well, it’s all a bit sus. "

Opinion: OpenAI has shown it cannot be trusted. Canada needs nationalized, public AI OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, lobbied Ottawa for business. All the while it hid its knowledge of Tumbler Ridge shooter

We don't have a nationalized public cloud, we don't have a national public internet provider, we don't have a public social media site—all things most Canadians actually use and need on a daily basis—but sure, let's spend billions in public funds making a public AI first.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

If bombing solved things, we'd have found out before now, I feel. It's certainly had enough tries at it.

How wretched do you have to be to think John Bolton is someone whose views we need to hear from at this time?

Albanese’s decision will follow him into the history books – and define us too Anthony Albanese’s refusal to assist Australian women and children in Syrian detention camps may prove to be the defining act of his prime ministership – not for its prudence, but for what it reveals about leadership, moral courage and the limits of political calculation.

Anthony Albanese’s refusal to assist Australian women and children in Syrian detention camps will define his prime ministership, not as caution but as moral failure and political smallness, writes Jack Waterford.

The Greens are right now supporting the Coalition to deprioritise our Closing the Gap debate, led by the Indigenous Affairs Minister Malarndirri McCarthy, for a stunt on Iran.

This from the party that has no Indigenous representatives in any level of Australian government.

#BREAKING 🚨 The Australian Labor Political Party has issued a second statement on their support for Trump and Netanyahu's illegal war on Iran. To explain their position to the Australian public re: their obligations in a representative democracy? No, it's to have a fucking whinge about the Greens.

By Tesla's own math, it reveals that its robotaxis are 4x worse at driving than humans, with redactions hiding even more details | Fortune By NHTSA standards, the Tesla Robotaxis are 8x worse than human drivers.

About every 57k miles driven by Musk’s robotaxis one gets into a wreck. That’s four times the rate of humans.

Screenshot of text: 

First, it’s a mistake to say that Trump got America into war on Saturday. What he did was respond to a war that Iran has been waging against the United States since 1979.
