A choice also, that they presented January 6 in great detail in the film but also never said Trump's name. It was all just "him" and "he just posted again" lol

Like the two background paragraphs I put into a story blown out to a two hour movie.

The Social Reckoning is a hard slog as a reporter who covers Meta

$$$ and sovereignty

Also clear that a lot of businesses will veer towards open weight models as they become "good enough" at a much lower cost than frontier models and I think this is where the whole bubble lies. That's just a bit of it but anyway.

The AI sector introduced a let's say novel argument that if they had to pay to licence copyright works they'd also have to talk to spam emailers because spam email is covered by copyright. I feel the government is leaning towards finding a break but not clear how yet

But creators see that any weakening of copyright to allow training will allow Australia to become a backdoor way for AI training on copyright works and potentially disrupting ongoing lawsuits in the US.

It seems (from an outside observer position) that the inquiry will come to a recommendation on copyright and the government will use that to break what they see as a "stalemate". Creators aren't getting paid now, and AI companies aren't training here. The government really wants the latter.

I've watched four full days of hearings of the AI inquiry in parliament and my brain has melted a bit

Not sure this is quite a use case for giving an AI agent access to your inbox and bank account because you're too lazy to open the app and see "oh Github charge".

I don't think this means all will - it violates their TOS already but I could see X, for example, allowing it - and X loves a legal fight with eSafety.

First time I've seen pervert glasses called out at PAX

You've got the wrong Josh. Not my story

Kinda funny watching the AI parliamentary inquiry where a former Stephen Conroy staffer turned MP (Tim Watts) is asking questions to a former Conroy staffer turned data centre group head (Belinda Dennett)

I feel like he was sick of being yelled at on here about AI.

This is good

On the scale of chill - from my For You feed on X it was just a lot of people yelling at each other too.

Also the people (at least from the Australian point of view) who I can see still post there but are not on here are no great loss to the conversation imo.
