As much as everyone is going to blame Wharfie Time, and losing Pearce was cruel, kicking 12.17 is what did Freo in #AFLGF.

On the whole, I would say people in STEM are less hostile to LLMs than people in the humanities and arts, so it is extraordinary that OpenAI are going to blow that up by trying to screw over a tenured mathematician.

An interesting podcast episode by @jashap.bsky.social on what kind of books AI companies are buying to destructively scan and why it’s problematic. Also touches on the link between this destructive scanning and Judge Alsup’s judgement re the Anthropic settlement: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Good to see the right of erasure made it in from the AG’s 2022 report. I find it odd smart glasses would be left to local government; given state surveillance device laws restrict covert recordings it would make more sense to deal with it there: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

Citation software is very useful in legal academia, particularly if you are submitting an article to different journals that have different (and in some cases inaccessible citation styles). Also, Zotero allows you to put in notes that can help future you (your most important collaborator).

Rest in peace Fr Michael Tate. I can remember him telling me and about 200 other undergrads an engrossing story about an RAAF fighter jet and international humanitarian law back in 2009. The world is poorer for his passing.

Regarding Canvas, after discussions with colleagues this reinforces to me that (as much as I would like to Retvrn to Moodle), commercial LMS are going to be devoured by Microsoft/Google shortly. Both can offer far better infrastructure and security than shonky venture capital backed LMS vendors.

Gentle reminder to join your union and attend your union meetings. I went to the @nteunion.bsky.social’s meeting at Flinders University and I got a cool t-shirt made by one of my favourite Australian made clothing brands Qualitops. Hooray for unions (and t-shirts)!

I’m now curious as to what cause of action this might give rise to (privacy/copyright/identity theft).

Last week I taught Health Law and Ethics at @flindersuniversity.bsky.social’s city campus. This is one of my favourite courses to teach, as it is cross listed in both our health admin and JD programs, so we get a really interesting and diverse cohort of students which makes for great discussions.

Interesting recent decision from the CJEU that states pseudonymisation may be enough to prevent individuals from being identified in a dataset. This appears to be the direction the OAIC is heading in w.r.t deidentification techniques.

I do some online teaching, and this is one of the benefits, along with opening up education to people in rural and regional areas. However, to quote a friend, if you want to build a house you gotta push concrete. There are skills you get from face to face that are difficult to replicate with online.

As @drdebgleeson.bsky.social notes, the US may also place pressure on Australia to provide drug manufacturers with greater notice of when a generic drug could enter the market. This would permit manufacturers to delay access to cheaper generics in Australia.
