Allowing foreign AI companies to mine our power, water and data and giving a freebie on copyright is a new form of colonialism says the Pope’s AI adviser. He may not be infallible but he sure has hit the mark here. We needed defences and guardrails not white flags.

So I was looking for something related, and found this instead, from March this year. WTF @albomp.bsky.social ?! (OK. It *is* actually Morrison's LNP government's fault. But still.) Really? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

ICYMI: Exclusive: US military had close call after using AI for false intelligence report, sources say So, no trust and no verify? 🤷‍♀️ (But sure, let's not have any guardrails or regulations for AI.) edition.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...

"We have neighbours here, sworn enemies.. this must be kept secret..." I heard about this years ago, and was telling people constantly, but couldn't get verification. Now here it is. The UNITED STATES and ISRAEL FUNDED HAMAS! The UNITED STATES and ISRAEL FUNDED HAMAS!

This looks a few years old, but has never been more true. And successive Australian governments have hitched our future to this regime. 🙄 Whatever happened to Hawke and Keating's vision of looking to our region and neighbours, without hanging onto Uncle Sam's coat-tail?

Who's surprised? 🤷‍♀️ "Hamas offered to release them with no conditions but the opening of communication lines. Israel refused, because what they wanted was to steal more Palestinian land. It was never about the hostages, and anyone who said it was is a liar." www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/three-majo...

So, just like human "someone else will phone the cops"? " ... the near-total aversion of the collective to alerting a human as to what was going on. (The METR report’s ... found ... examples of agents briefly considering alerting humans [...] none acted on it.) www.platformer.news/openai-huggi...

Mesmerisingly terrifying. (Wait, those blips? Aah yes. Wars.)

Wow. Just Wow. Wonder when the furious rebuttals will start?

Get rid of lobbying money in office, and the revolving door of politicians to cozy "consultancies", and/or board positions on major corporations, for at least 2 full election cycles, after they leave their political "public service". chrishedges.substack.com/p/fighting-b...

Defence officials today tried to prevent the sharing of public evidence on social media at a hearing into Defence land sales. The fact I am posting this should tell you how that went.

So. The world's "super powers" are levelling neighbouring countries, strangling them to death, kidnapping their leaders, and stealing their oil, while supporting their SW Asian proxies in committing genocide, as their own hemisphere is LITERALLY burning up. GOOOAL! #warcrimes #climatecatastrophe
