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'

"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.

NYT just ran a piece about illegal activity and sexual assault in AI incubators/party mansions and i think as we see more and more of these stories emerge we'll also see a heretofore unheard-of level of victim blaming, especially concerning women of color.

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.
