This is going to be one of those laws we'll look back on later and say "fuck that was a bad idea". Anyone who has ever done drugs in their life knows the correct amount of drugs to have in your system before driving is 0. This is what happens when fucking ANU nerd bureaucrats are let loose on policy making for real life. The reason why no one thought to make this law in the last two decades, is there were enough policy makers who had actual life experience, and had actually done drugs, to know it was a bad idea. Don't smoke a cone and drive, fucking ever. Don't do any drugs and ever operate any kind of heavy machinery, ever. The fact we are deviating from this CENTURY OLD standard suggests something deeply wrong with the people running our Governments.
@AvidCommentator I’ve been saying this for months - people forget that bunker oil is a refinery byproduct - reduce production in the refinery, you reduce byproduct production.
We’re sleep-walking into a disaster and everyone is oblivious…
I actually have deployed AI in frontline systems and even when you repeatedly tell people that it’s not going to take their jobs or replace them, they don’t believe you and will often work against the system in subtle (or not so subtle) ways.
Security with AI is a disaster - people still fall for phishing attacks, and now we have to educate people about prompt injection?
The infrastructure is sorta there, but the capability for fully long-term unsupervised use is still a bit of a while away. And even if the capabilities were to be here by the end of 2028, compute capacity won’t be scaled up enough to make that widely available for mass role replacement.
Globally or just Australia? It’s *possible* but pretty unlikely. If it occurs, it will be because we’re on a deep recession/depression moreso than anything AI related (or the AI asset bubble has popped).
We will probably only have like ~2X the current amount of compute by the end of 2028, 3X maybe. While AI will almost certainly be ABLE to replace 10-15% of jobs by the end of 2028, I don’t think enterprises move anywhere near that quickly to make the transition that quickly let alone governments (and Australia has a LOT of government employees).
