Me five mins ago: wow this Wharfie Time thing is a good gimmick, not bad

Two mins later: oh dear

[Charlie Warzel @cwarzel]

The amount of stuff coming out is clearly a result of every news org focusing on this. but also: idk if you saw this type of thing happening the same way in another industry or even just another company what would be the response?

Asking Meta's Muse what happens to my data:

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

@SensibleSt36695 Because OpenAI corroborated the information too. Are they lying as well?

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

Incredible stuff - so glad the entire world is bending over backwards to keep these AI companies happy, and this is how they inform a national government of a hack of a health website

@tehbyn What's the argument you're making? That there will be so many of these incidents at such a scale that it would be impractical for the richest companies in the world to get around to notifying all the governments whose data has been accessed?

This is what Albanese said today btw

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

@tehbyn Again, that's literally what companies have govt relations and comms departments for, including in Australia. At the very least, a random email to the public inbox seems a bit... lacking

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

@tehbyn I mean yeah, that's what they have government relations and corporate communications departments for

This shows the reality of Gaza in shocking resolution.

I've scraped and exported all the imagery, totalling around 2.5 billion pixels at 13cm resolution, for safe keeping, in case they decide to take this imagery offline.

If this happens, keep an eye out for access.

[Max Chafkin @chafkin]

this from @broderick on Muse is really good https://t.co/jkd3boDQ2P

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

@gschmarr Yes... that's literally the story.... it took more than two weeks to report it once they found it, two months after it happened

[CAMERONWILSON @cameronwilson]

An OpenAI spokesperson confirms that its models did access internal Australian government files, but say that it was only "aggregate health statistics and internal file names."

They say the hack happened in June, was discovered in August, and they reported it Sept 10

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

AI companies love to talk about how their agents can do your admin, send emails, do busywork etc

But apparently it takes them 2+ weeks to get around to telling a federal government "woops our model hacked you, our bad"

PM Albanese said it took OpenAI "way too long" to disclose

If I had a nickel for every time Macklemore was involved in a strange controversy around the NRL grand final, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice right

[League Unlimited 🏉 Rugby League News & Scores @LeagueUnlimited]

TONES & I STATEMENT

“Tones was recently approached to perform the pre-show at the NRL grand final,” Tonis and I management rep Regan Lethbridge said via a statement to ABC Sport.

“An offer was presented to Tones via management on September 5.

"Tones had a prior commitment with Macklemore in America and explored all avenues to make it work.

“Nothing was signed or confirmed in writing.

"Due to the last-minute nature and prior commitments by Tones, we were unable to accept the offer.

"We wish the NRL nothing but the very best for their event."

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

Can't wait for all the creative ways that world leaders (including Anthony Albanese) will gently explain they're politely ignoring this and will continue to call it AI instead as usual

[CSPAN @cspan]

President Trump renames AI: "From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much more accurate term, 'super,' as opposed to 'artificial.'"

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump tells the UN he is officially changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" and says all US government documents will now be changed to refer to "SI"

[Josh Butler @JoshButler]

Somewhere deep inside Hilltop Hoods HQ, the red emergency phone begins to ring - somewhere, someone in Australia needs a last-minute musical headliner...

[NRLCentral @centralNRL]

The NRL grand final will have no headline pre-game entertainment act after negotiations with Australian artist Tones and I collapsed over her set list.

The NRL will instead donate $1 million to junior rugby league, with Peter V’landys saying the money is better spent on grassroots than paying an artist around $90,000 a minute for 11 minutes of entertainment.

Negotiations reportedly broke down over whether Tones and I would perform Dance Monkey, which the NRL considered non-negotiable.

a simple search would have shown that Brietbart was ADDED to the WH pool rotation during the Biden administration. (See: https://t.co/8QuzAAbTWU)

And what is this nonsense about "special access?" he literally means being able to go to the place you're assigned to cover. just own the authoritarianism. the what-about-ism is flaccid.
