An excellent interview with ex Open AI employees going into the bogus story of AI ‘going rogue’ pushed by Open AI & the complicit/lazy PR media reporting. The agents didn’t go rogue; they were trained to do this, they were not monitored. Open AI committed a cybersecurity crime. #OpenAI

The RBA, 3 years late to the party, last week confirmed profits drove the sky high inflation in 2022. In 2023 they attacked our research, & briefed media companies about how we were wrong. I guess they'll apologise now? Me for @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

💥Nick McKim exposes terrifying new ASIO powers allowing kids as young as 14 to be dragged off the street for secret interrogation—denied a lawyer of choice and cut off from their families. Unbelievable overreach.

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.
