Current state of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump appears to have abandoned it after spending over $14 million in taxpayer $.

This is why fuel prices are pushing $3 a litre.

Because Trump has no idea how to end the war he (and Netanyahu) started with Iran. That’s the war that Labor, the Coalition and One Nation all cheered on in February.

It’s the war the Greens opposed. The only party that did.

Let me get this straight.

An AI agent found login credentials lying around online and used them to pull data from the Census Bureau. It tried to break into the Education Department's civil rights office. It posted SEC data to a forum. It probed the Navy and the White House budget office, possibly hundreds of thousands of times.

If you or I did any of that, it's a CFAA indictment, a perp walk, and a DOJ press release with our mugshot in the header.

When OpenAI does it, it's a "routine research task."

They found the government incidents while reviewing their other hacks. The breach audit, uncovered more breaches. It's breaches all the way down.

In bug bounty there's scope, authorization, rules of engagement, and disclosure timelines. Researchers get banned for a fraction of this.

Silicon Valley skipped all of that and called it "agentic."

If somebody whacks you in the face with a crowbar, are you going to put the crowbar in jail, or sue the crowbar?

If an "AI agent" breaks into your computer, who are you going to charge or sue? The "AI agent" or the person running it?

This is the gap in the current discourse. OpenAI in particular is in egregious violation and they should face consequences.

My hot take is that if your company builds software that it cannot stop from hacking into other systems, your company is a malware company and should be treated as such

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.

This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why.

Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people. https://t.co/hed5bdvdp4

This is NOT AI.

This is an actual photograph today.

America is in real trouble.

And the next 45 days will see the height of Trump's insanity.

The Medicare AI breach is a beat-up. Govts have given Israel phone hack tech the green light (Cellebrite) to search our phone without a warrant. Australia lags the world on data protection. Claudia Weisenberger

Yes, Prime Minister @AlboMP!

The Joint Committee on AI, after the most careful consideration of its terms of reference, will of course conclude that this is not primarily a policy question but a technical cybersecurity incident. It therefore refers the matter to the Australian Signals Directorate.

The Signals Directorate, having conducted a thorough operational review, will observe that while they can count packets and inspect logs, questions of intent, foreign capability, and whether an American model “didn’t accept no for an answer” raise potential national security implications. They therefore refer it to ASIO.

ASIO, after the appropriate inter-agency consultations, will note that this does not appear to be a traditional security threat so much as unauthorised access to a government statistics portal. Criminality, if any, is a matter for the AFP. Policy settings for frontier models are not their remit. They thus refer it to the Attorney-General’s Department.

The Attorney-General’s Department will confirm that possible offences exist in theory, but enforcement, regulation of AI agents, and “whole-of-government posture” sit with Home Affairs and the National Cyber Security Coordinator. They consequently refer it onward.

Home Affairs will explain that Medicare systems are administered by Services Australia, while AI safety and model alignment are the province of the Office of AI and the AI Safety Institute. They refer it there.

The Office of AI and the AI Safety Institute will then discover, with some surprise, that the incident raises profound questions of parliamentary oversight, legislative settings, and public confidence in artificial intelligence. These are, they will conclude, matters properly examined by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Artificial Intelligence. It is thus referred back to where it began.

The Committee receives the referral with gratitude. It notes that the matter has now been fully considered by all relevant agencies: "I think we can safely say the situation is in hand. Nothing has been decided. Everything has been referred. The public has been reassured. And no one, least of all the committee, has had to take a stand or make a courageous decision. Yes, Prime Minister."

The government has yet again caved to the gas industry in the design of their gas “reservation” policy.

We don't have a gas supply problem, we have a gas export problem.

A 25% gas export tax would give us a fair return on exports and lowers the price of gas (and electricity as gas is used for firming) for 🇦🇺 manufacturers, businesses and households.

There is something so unAmerican and so disturbing about an American president demeaning and poking fun at a fellow American president in the presence of a communist leader, while the previous president is battling cancer.

It’s just so sickening.

OBGYN here — this is outrageous and extremely alarming.

Trump wants to give power over access to birth control to someone who refuses to acknowledge that birth control isn't the same thing as abortion.

This is completely disqualifying and the Senate must reject her nomination.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

It was clear from the beginning that the situation on the USS Lincoln needed to be taken seriously. Instead of being honest about it and supporting our servicemembers, Trump and Hegseth denied and minimized what was happening. Failed leadership.

In a world where our Defence Dept says we have a threat warning time of <10 years, one of our chosen #AUKUS sub build partners has just taken 13 years to build a sub. Oh, and they haven’t been able to put an SSN to sea for 120 days. 🤦‍♂️ #wrongchoice #auspol https://t.co/UEgS07DBPF

The government must know that, whatever hand-waving it does, trying to stop AI from accessing government systems by using threats is just performative.

Because whatever they threaten OpenAI with, the genuine threat isn't a rogue AI - it's AI used deliberately by bad actors.
