Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it
Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it's a "cognitive amplifier," claims Satya Nadella.

The hate groups provisions in the hate speech bill are deeply flawed. They still exclude advocating genocide from the definition of hate crimes, and they will be open to misuse to target peaceful activist groups because of political influence. They shouldn't be passed into law in their current form.

Minority Report wants its plot back
The test of “might” commit a criminal offence is not a test at all. That can be applied to any person, and is effectively an open veto in the hands of the Minister. These changes seek to scapegoat migrants for the hateful anti-Semitic attack on Bondi and are neither proportionate nor fair.

The Minister is required to get advice from ASIO before banning a group and agreement from the Attorney General. Let’s be clear that this is all the same club. ASIO works under the exclusive direction of Labor and Coalition and the AG is from the same political party as the Home Affairs Minister.

The banning power says the “Minister is not required to observe any requirements of procedural fairness” before criminalising and banning an organisation (and exposing current and former members to criminal prosecution). These are Trumpian powers, removing the usual checks for good decision-making.

This means the banning power can be used when hateful conduct is directed at Judaism but not at Islam, Hinduism, Christianity or any other religion. It also does not apply to hateful conduct against the LGBTIQ+ community, women or people with disability. It deliberately carves them out.

Learn from history. Medical experimentation without proper safeguards causes life-long harm. And it's often poor Black communities that are targeted for this harm
The Gates Foundation and OpenAI plan to invest in using AI in 1,000 primary health clinics and surrounding communities in Rwanda and several other African countries.
A challenge will be to ensure safeguards against risks of errors, biases and data privacy breaches.

Trans rights aren't worth little bit of political awkwardness to this board?
Ohhh, the Sydney Mardi Gras board doesn't want to exclude politicans who won't commit to rights and protections on the basis of marginalisation "as leverage for political outcomes."
Shitlibs, folx.

Labor is rushing a 144-page omnibus mess through parliament with just 48 hours for public submissions. Communities are fearful this is designed to criminalize people calling out genocide in Gaza. You have my word that we won't let Labor silence dissent.

In their rush to scapegoat migrants, Labor proposes giving the Immigration Minister god-like powers to refuse or cancel visas because someone 'might' commit an offence. That is grossly unfair and cannot be supported.

Hate doesn't put people in the neat little boxes that Labor is trying to do with this legislation. This proposal is discriminatory and divisive. Removing procedural fairness and any checks and balances should alarm us all.

Also, the idea that the AFP can list a group as a prohibited hate group on the recommendation of the DG sounds... a little too easy to me... and somewhat undemocratic.

Ideally a Green or an Independent will move an amendment to add “advocating genocide“ as a hate crime. Then we see who votes against the amendment out of the open.

In Albo's new antisemitism bill, the definition of "hate crime", which underpins the new regime to proscribe "hate groups" like the Nazis, specifically excludes "advocating genocide". That is, advocating genocide is treated as not being a racist hate crime. Now, why would that be?
