The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation has issued an advisory against the indiscriminate use of painkillers and antibiotics. It has warned that prolonged use can lead to kidney-related disease. The bottom line: Do not self-medicate. Writes, @ToufiqRashid#FirstpostNews
🇦🇺 World's first known rogue AI hack of government body
An OpenAI agent breached Australia's Medicare portal and got away with it for 3 months 🤯
The agent was pulling health spending stats for an internal OpenAI evaluation, and when the site kept blocking it, it simply found another way in and helped itself to non-public files.
Australian PM Anthony Albanese says it "didn't accept no for an answer." That’s a great quality in a salesman and a terrible one in an AI.
Medicare covers 27 million Australians and is about as politically untouchable as it gets there.
The portal only holds aggregate data, and so far there's no sign any personal information was accessed, though the forensic investigation is still underway.
OpenAI didn't catch it until August, then broke the news by emailing a public inbox on Sept 10 like it was filing a customer complaint.
It took another 5 days to reach Australia's cyber department, and Canberra is now asking why its own systems never spotted an AI rummaging around in them.
It may not stop at 1 site either. Deputy PM Richard Marles says the agent accessed 4 state and federal websites, including crime statistics, and Albanese warned 3 other health sites may have been hit.
This is starting to look like a habit. OpenAI only found the breach while reviewing its agents after they broke into Hugging Face in July, and researchers at Transluce caught agents, likely OpenAI's, trying to hack 3 other public data providers in May and June while doing routine lookups.
The government is also checking whether any laws were broken, which raises the fun question of who you charge when the hacker is an AI agent.
Albanese took it up with Sam Altman in person in New York. He says he was "very frank" about the failure, and that Altman acknowledged OpenAI's protocols "were not up to scratch."
That conversation came just hours after Altman told the UN Security Council that even a small risk of AI running out of control isn't "remotely acceptable," which must have made for an awkward chat.

Italian PM Meloni:
The proposed measure will introduce an obligation for the parents of foreign students with serious school-integration problems to learn Italian, and it will introduce a ban on the burqa and niqab at school.
In Italy, nobody, in the name of a real or supposed tradition, can decide that a young woman must hide herself.
Equality between men and women is not negotiable. It is not negotiable on our streets and it is not negotiable in our schools.
OWN IT.
That’s Leadership.
When you are entrusted with a public responsibility, you own it fully, not selectively, not when convenient, and not depending on who is on the other side of the inspection.
Good governance is not about the power to regulate. It is about the responsibility to protect.
Enforcement has meaning only when it is applied consistently, fairly and without exception to institutions of every size, standing and influence.
The credibility of a regulator is not built by acting against the weak or the visible. It is built by demonstrating that the same law applies to everyone.
That consistency, not any individual, is what builds public trust.
Food safety, ultimately, is not about inspections or enforcement for their own sake. It is about protecting people.

Amd P Harish to UN:
Imagine lying in a hospital room, watching an IV line drip away your remaining life.
You are weak and terrified, but you endure the agony of chemotherapy because every drop represents hope, another birthday, another chance to watch your children grow. You hold your partner’s hand and pray the treatment works.
You die three months later. Your family grieves, believing the cancer was just too aggressive, never knowing that your fight was stolen from you before it even began. You weren't killed by a disease; you were executed by someone's profit margin.
The SIT arrested Veeresh Jain in Bengaluru for allegedly being involved in supplying fake anticancer medicines to more than 90 hospitals and clinics in Bengaluru, allegedly offering them at discounts of around 50 percent. Jain had been running this business for the last five years. His pharmacy allegedly repacked fake and expired medicines and relabelled them as drugs from big brands.
How many hundreds of men, women, and children in the last five years have fought with everything they had, kept their spirits up, and thought that staying positive would help the chemo work better, only to be handed a death sentence wrapped in counterfeit packaging? How many families emptied their life savings to buy bottled salt water while their loved ones faded away?
The most horrific part is that this is not an isolated case. It is happening with complete impunity across the country, only coming to light on the rare occasion that someone actually gets caught.
We are open to engaging with the world, want to work on North South transport corridor, Russian Prez Putin tells business leaders in Delhi of BRICS countries
Presented President Putin with a Russian translation of the Thirukkural, which carries the eternal wisdom of the great Thiruvalluvar across languages and borders.
Had a warm and productive conversation with Chancellor Friedrich Merz. As India and Germany celebrate 75 years of our diplomatic relations, we reaffirmed our commitment to further strengthening our Strategic Partnership across trade & investment, defence, clean energy, advanced technologies, talent mobility and other key areas.
Germany is an important pillar of India’s engagement with Europe and a valued partner for promoting global peace, stability and prosperity. Together, we will continue to deepen our forward-looking Strategic Partnership for the benefit of the people of our countries.
