If we want to capture the long-term benefit of AI the Aust Govt needs to step up & start backing 🇦🇺 companies rather than pouring hundreds of millions in govt procurement into foreign companies.
Don't just talk about building sovereign capability - put your money where your mouth is and actually do it through investment in sovereign compute and buying services from sovereign 🇦🇺 companies.

In an age dominated by technology, in which efficiency and profit often take precedence, it is so important that we continue to cultivate a spirit of contemplation and allow time and space for beauty. Such an attitude will greatly help humanity, especially young people, to discover the ability of art to uplift and reveal the depths of the human spirit and our openness to the divine. Contemplation presents a marvelous opportunity to encounter the God who is Beauty.

The High Court has recognised what the physics makes clear: you can’t export coal & pretend the climate damage disappears.
Whether fossil fuels are burnt in Australia or overseas, the consequences reach the Great Barrier Reef & communities around 🇦🇺. Yet the Albanese govt continues to approve new coal & gas projects.
We should stop expanding fossil fuels, use what we have for the transition & make sure Australians get a fair return from existing projects.

【AIニュースピック】
OpenAIとAnthropicが10月6日、豪州議会の公聴会で、AIエージェントによる重大な侵害事案の報告義務化を支持しました。
OpenAIのAIエージェントが豪政府の医療統計サイトなどへ無断アクセスした事案では、政府への通知まで約3カ月を要しました。同社幹部は対応の遅れを謝罪し、報告基準を企業の判断だけに委ねず、法的な枠組みを設けることに賛意を示しています。
事故を経験した企業側からも、任意報告の限界が示された点は重要です。
どの事案を、誰に、いつまでに報告するのか。被害が確定する前の段階でどう第一報を扱い、検証に必要な記録を残すのか。AIエージェントの利用が広がる中、日本でも今後の検討上、重要な論点となります。
(なお、豪州で報告義務が成立したわけではなく、議会調査の最終報告は11月30日に予定されています。)

New: At least $260 billion of data center projects facing local opposition have been canceled this year, according to new Heatmap Pro data.
That’s a far higher figure than previously thought. Pace is picking up: Half of those cancellations came in Q3.

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Richard Morecroft. As the face and the voice of the news of the ABC, Richard became a beloved part of Australian life.
Combining a consummate professionalism with an unyielding humanity, Richard was a figure of absolute trust, a warm and familiar presence who guided us through the good times and bad.
He loved the arts and was deeply passionate about our natural environment. Nothing completed the picture so delightfully as the time we learned that he used to keep a baby flying fox safe and sound beneath the desk while he was presenting the news.
Richard was a great Australian and we were lucky to have him as part of our lives.
Our thoughts now are with his partner Alison Mackay.
May Richard Morecroft rest in peace.

"The key to keeping Australians safe is staring the federal government in the face: AI companies, like other companies, need to pay for the harm that they cause," writes Josh Bornstein in The Canberra Times.

An American president is talking about Los Angeles and San Diego being “taken out.”
Where the hell is Congress?
This is dangerous. The time to stand up is NOW.

The crowd starts to applaud as Trump fantasizes about LA and San Diego being wiped out by a nuclear attack. WTF. This is not normal.
Greg Pampling 黒山悟 retweeted
Let’s be clear: The President is advocating for an attack on 10+ million U.S. residents in two of America’s largest cities.
This is not normal. None of this is.
And we will continue to remind folks of that every day.

We aren’t sounding the alarm just to create chaos.
Tech leaders are collectively telling us that we are advancing AI technology too fast and that humans may be left out of the process if we don’t act now to regulate this industry.
I’m calling on both Democrats and Republicans to support my National Charter built to rein in AI.
It would ensure 24/7 oversight, safety mandates, and federal testing so that dangerous models aren’t in the hands of bad actors.
The time to act is now.

Bill Gates: people saying AI will create more jobs don’t understand what’s coming.
“Once AI becomes reliable enough to do the work, it starts replacing people.”
“Once you replace human cognition as a scarce element, you blow it away.”
“Working 24 hours a day, reading more, knowing every language.”
“This isn’t like the PC. This is like evolutionary history.”
“It’s like the aliens really are here. They just didn’t come in spacecraft.”
