@cameronwilson.bsky.socialUkraine bombs Russian data centres, kneecapping their foreign influence bot campaigns, and then suddenly powderfinger is able to get back together? Stay woke 👁️
@cameronwilson.bsky.socialReposted by @cameronwilson.bsky.socialUsually I'm the one writing about AI. But recently, the tables were turned.
Someone sent me a link to an 89-page book about "redefining living through Cam Wilson teachings", seemingly made by AI
So, I bought it. Once it arrived, things got even weirder: www.abc.net.au/news/...

@cameronwilson.bsky.socialNext Monday, I'll be moderating a panel with Father Paolo Benanti — who served as the pope's AI advisor— La Trobe's PVC Prof Phil Laufenberg, ACU's PVC Prof Phil Parker and ACU Prof Niusha Shafiabady.
It's at 5.30pm at ACU Melbourne, tix still available.

@cameronwilson.bsky.socialReposted by @cameronwilson.bsky.socialOpenAI exec Jason Kwon flew to Australia to pledge to regain our trust after the Medicare Statistics hack last month.
After the hearing, he told the ABC he "can't explain" why Australians don't trust AI (at higher rates than almost any country)

@cameronwilson.bsky.socialInteresting tweak in language from OpenAI about its hacks ahead of its US exec appearance at a committee today. Last week it apologised for its models doing something that it was "not authorised to". Today OpenAI describes its AI doing something that it was "not directed to".
@cameronwilson.bsky.socialReposted by @cameronwilson.bsky.sociala 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'
@cameronwilson.bsky.socialby 'hack' it again sounds very soft: information that is public, but accessed in an unauthorised way. NSW gov and OpenAI both say no personal information exposed (it was about fire statistics)

@cameronwilson.bsky.socialSouth Australia's Royal Commission into AI kicks off today, and the government has announced the terms of reference and commissioners: former judge/FWC president Iain Ross, ex-Tech Council CEO and OpenAI head of Aus policy Kate Pounder and Stanford AI expert Christopher Manning

@cameronwilson.bsky.socialHere is the email obtained by the ABC that was sent by OpenAI to the Australian government's Services Australia to disclose the incident
@cameronwilson.bsky.socialthis is the most important story that I've ever written
@cameronwilson.bsky.socialSomething else I noticed in this blog post, OpenAI says it was using a model /intentionally/ without safeguards, and gave it access the internet for a task. And it was doing this without closely monitoring it given that it took 3 months to flag up the breach.
@cameronwilson.bsky.socialOpenAI has apologised for hacking Australia’s Medicare statistics system in a blog post that revealed the intrusion was broader than first known.
@cameronwilson.bsky.socialReposted by @cameronwilson.bsky.socialScoop: A controversial Sydney data centre project that was proposed to be built 20 metres from houses has been withdrawn by its developer, citing "changes in the regulatory environment."

@cameronwilson.bsky.socialstrictly speaking this wasn't chain of thought but communications between agents but regardless, it still think it fits the bill: a secret plan to do something
