a friday afternoon surprise: NSW gov says OpenAI disclosed a "misalignment" by its AI agent and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water's National Parks and Wildlife web platform service. So, it sounds like a second Australian government 'hack'

Did you notice that when the woman youtuber was a confirmed plagiarist everyone was happy to end her career forever but when the man youtuber is a confirmed rapist we suddenly get dozens of posts about how "disheartening" it is that people don't believe in restorative justice

"OpenAI chose to email a generic inbox of Services Australia as its notification method. While OpenAI has not broken any laws in its notification approach, that email took the place of informing the public servants leading Services Australia,the ministry responsible" www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

OpenAI’s agents breached Australian government data. Its human response may do more damage.
The company took weeks to notify officials. Canberra could now set another tech policy precedent — around liability for rogue agents.

I’m really trying not to go for cheap heat on here but you can write off any politician that does not support trans rights without equivocating because it’s the morally correct thing to do and additionally because it means they’re not above selling anyone out.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

Having too much money gives you mental illness. Once a person has it they become terrified of losing it which is why so many rich people turn into sociopaths. If you’re not rich you can’t dread losing something you don’t have and you make more rational decisions.
