There’s a strategic landmine in @DarioAmodei's superb essay. He says at the current rate of capability development, in 6-12 months an agent swarm like the @OpenAI@huggingface swarm “could be capable of taking over the entire internet”.

Not sure how much clearer they can be. OAI’s own chief scientist:
“I believe that no lab has solved alignment & monitoring to a sufficient degree to continue responsibly scaling at maximum speed for much longer. I expect and hope for voluntary slowdowns to become commonplace …”

Yesterday I joined @Kieran_Gilbert on @SkyNewsAust to discuss this week’s developments in the Strait of Hormuz, including the increase in shipping traffic, the commencement of the International Maritime Organisation plan, & its pause following further Iranian attacks on civilian mariners.
We also discussed the Director-General of ASIO’s Annual Threat Assessment and Mike Burgess’ warning that 🇦🇺’s defence capabilities, including our nuclear-powered subprogram, are a priority target for foreign espionage.

I consider @Keir_Starmer a friend and I'm thinking of him on what must be a very tough day.
Serving in public life is a tremendous privilege but politics can also be a harsh business.
When the time comes for Keir to leave Downing Street, he can be proud of the contribution he has made to the country he loves and to the Labour Party that he led back to Government in 2024.
I'm grateful for the opportunities we had to work together to strengthen our AUKUS defence and security partnership, support the brave people of Ukraine and keep children safe from the damage that social media can do.
I wish Keir, Victoria and their children well with everything the future holds.

Social cohesion and national unity are more important than ever as governments around the world work to combat radicalisation and violent extremism.
Australia must continue to foster respect, inclusion and understanding across our communities at a time of global uncertainty.
I spoke to @Kieran_Gilbert on @SkyNewsAust about these challenges, including the recent unrest and violence in Northern Ireland, and the importance of maintaining social cohesion here at home.

Yesterday I joined @Kieran_Gilbert on @SkyNewsAust to discuss this wk’s #AUKUS developments, from the decision to acquire 3 in-service Virginia class subs to the so-called “independent” inquiry & the misinformation that has accompanied much of the debate.
There are reasonable arguments for & against #AUKUS. But if we’re going to have that debate, it should be anchored in facts.

Ton of fun as always speaking with @Kieran_Gilbert on Donald Trump's latest tariffs, tensions between Trump & Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, the dim prospects of an Iran peace deal & of course the latest on the Mythos AI model. @SkyNewsAust@ASPI_org
My understanding is that Pauline Hanson is in talks with the Department of Finance to move her electoral office to Yeppoon in Central Qld.
Is she planning on running in the lower house seat of Capricornia? Will we see Canavan v Hanson?
Sorry my hair is sticking up. But great as always to talk to @Kieran_Gilbert. I really do recommend people watch the King's speech on Youtube - Britain clearly put their best people on it, which shows what was at stake. And they landed it. @SkyNewsAust
