Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Can Australia continue operating the system independently during a geopolitical dispute? And, how quickly could we substitute another supplier if access were withdrawn? Who ultimately has the technical and legal ability to keep Australia's AI infrastructure operating—or prevent it from operating? 100
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 07/10/2026AIFOMOS risks losing sight of a few deeper issues with data centres. Who can alter, disable, restrict or remotely update critical components? Who controls encryption keys and administrative access? What happens if another government imposes export or service restrictions? 100

Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Unhinged. Clearly dangerous and unfit for office. A perfect fit? 011
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ring fencing a single fox while building chicken hotels across the country with fox penthouses in each. Sure, why not. AI won't need to hack anything when it manages CPUs in the data centres. The only data that'll be safe is what you physically write in your diary if no cameras are watching 100

Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 04/10/2026As people around the world become more aware of obscene wealth scams, the outrageousness of narratives ramp up to quell rage. Cambridge Analytica style, on steroids with data centres? AI bots already make lists of targets by subject. Feeds redirect rage. Makes news corp look old school. Too easy. 021

Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I thinks is pretty fair to assume they already have whatever they want. 011
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 28/09/2026... "what data they are planning to hand over to Trump"...? What data won't they be handing over to Trump? 131
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Should we be a bit more concerned about where the GPUs filling our data centres are developed and managed? 000
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The same countries that will be running the GPUs in our data centres. PHON, Reinhardt, Murdoch, etc all championing the race to embrace it all asap. So, with nothing apparently out of bounds for them what sort of future are our kids and grandkids facing? 152
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Our biggest military partner seeking to bury international law barely rates a mention by our government or media. 1106
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Compared to Macron's speech it was tepid and complicit in its failure to plainly call out the war crimes the world has witnessed. 133
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Foreign influence is woven tightly into the fabric of our government. Between #AUKUS , data centres and media control they have Australia stitched up, and with such a leadership vacuum, we're cooked. 132

Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Oligarchs seem to have knitted themselves into the government, at many levels. I fear the future may make today look pretty tame. I truly hope I'm wrong. 230
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Labor has embraced AI, with gusto. Data factories springing up everywhere with platforms developed in some places where human rights are not only optional, they're publicly opposed. The oligarchy has knitted itself into the fabric of our government. I'm not sure its all in our best interests. 102
Phil @fileckert.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I understand your frustration. I disagree about diplomacy. When fundamental human rights are so comprehensively trashed, I don't want my leader to roll over and pretend that all is cool and normal, and even further embrace departure from Int law. That's not the Aust I served in the ADF for. 040
