EU data breach fines 20M euro /4% global turnover- given AI harm - surely we should fine them MORE?? And... who's to say "rogue" systems (negligently constructed by definition) aren't just out there practising on our nation's insecurity??? @albomp.bsky.social

AI Creators are liable for intrusions into our national security... this example shows 100% that AI morality is not being imbued. It's the doomsday scenario demonstrated clearly - where was the ethics approval for the parameters of this model?? @albomp.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social

#OpenAI is responsible for systems which hacked Austn Govt websites last June -they told @albomp.bsky.social in Sept. Anyone who thinks the tech bosses' mea culpa is altruistic misses a plea for regulatory help- permissive innovation is as with socmed, a disaster @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social

Nothing re AI lethality risks was unknown a decade ago - just like socmed US shirks desperate need for inception regulation - look at the founding principles of Open AI for evidence - industry warnings mean this is code red @news.abc.net.au @albomp.bsky.social

AustraliaKatie @australiakatie.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
AI must be regulated by national policy & laws, international audit standards, and ultimately UN laws/convention - the idea that the tech titans or any one of them, should set their own controls or regulate these systems without full regulation & control -is total madness... @albomp.bsky.social

To all Americans whinging about your petrol- this is what your bloviated idiotic Republican president's war has done for your Australian allies- 1 US gallon = 3.78541 litres Cost per US gallon = 3.78541 × AUD2.25 ≈ $8.52 Convert to US$ = $6.10 / gallon So we loathe him too. VOTE Repubs out.

A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space.
