As someone whose published work has already been ripped off by Anthropic** for unagreed, uncompensated, use in their LLM training models, I found Albanese‘s remarks on copyright protection of creative work distressing: “There’s a way through this” for people to still have control & for there to be ‘monetarisation’ of it (yes, that’s the word he used, later correcting himself to ‘monetised’). This is not what he previously promised, & what I understand is that he now wants to change Australia’s copyright laws to suit the big AI companies rather than protect creatives.

After all those weasel words, loved Jacqui Lambie’s: “Like dinosaurs from Jurassic Park they keep on testing the fences…” 😀🙏🏻 Give that speechwriter a medal! 🥇

** briefly listed in the Anthropic class action to-be-compensated database but never compensated because my publishers were not US publishers.

Wow! Maheswaren has now complained to the Assistant Commissioner about the ICAC solicitor giving him a strange look and raising her eyebrows. ???? What is that about? #ICACRadio

@oldrawgabbit@mastodon.world More Alt-text 4 u: The complaints read: “I don't want to scan a QR code for everything. I don't want to "create an account" to see a menu on a website. I don't want to "download the app" to pay for parking or anything else. I don't want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. | just want to exist in the physical world without having to hand over all my personal information.”

@dropbear@aus.social Yes, there was something about Nassif thinking Adestani had a listening device in a bag… wasn’t clear whether he did or did not, but you could be right that that’s why Nassif is talking oddly… so oddly that Adestani picks up on it & comments. Hadn’t thought of that as a reason but makes sense. 🤔 #ICACRadio

@dropbear@aus.social Yes, it’s quite clear that he can’t remember his own lies - who could? There’s so many of them - and the cumulation of them has no internal consistency or logic… which only makes them harder to remember. #ICACRadio

@dropbear@aus.social Nassif called Maheswaran his “personal assistant” not his lawyer!! He was asked to leave the meeting! Even Nassif didn’t trust him. But since he was asked to leave, Maheswaran didn’t want to be there either! Oh deary dear, suggests that even Ardestani had his suspicions about malicious Maheswaran gearing up Nassif's paranoia… perhaps it was common talk around the building traps that M was poison… But things seem “slightly off” to Maheswaran… he can smell his own… #ICACRadio #paranoia #poison

@dropbear@aus.social Ha ha!! Yep, there’s not a shred of evidence of any extortion attempt - contra to what Maheswaran has been adamantly alleging. Also, when Ardestani is asking Nassif - who he’s obviously known for a long time - to speak normally, it seems that the way Nassif’s talking, behaving, is out of character… did Nassif change his medications? Start smoking recreationally? Was it just the stress getting to him? Or was Maheswaran winding him up & misdirecting him in a way that made his paranoia worse? I’m sure there’d be other potential reasons for such a major change in behaviour in Nassif but Maheswaran really isn’t helping with any of this & he’s back to banging on about his absurd allegation that there’s been an extortion attempt on Nassif. #ICACRadio #noEvidenceOfAllegedExtortionAttempt

@dropbear@aus.social Yes yes yes! Not rocket science. #ICACRadio

@dropbear@aus.social Yes… so many weasel words! Noted this exemplary sequence: “I’m not sure. I can’t be precise about that. I might be wrong.” He could have simply said No. Or Yes, if preferred. Followed by a slurp from the little white cup = lying (in my opinion, on this date, or thereabouts, to the best of my… sorry, what was the question?) #ICACRadio #timeWasting #bodyLanguage

@dropbear@aus.social 🤣🤣🤣

@dropbear@aus.social Same here! Very offputting… but now it’s cleared up, thankfully.

@SheDrivesMobility@norden.social This is such a good point & actionable ‘call to action’ - and true not only in Germany: “We need more of this involved people at mics. “In germany we give the mics only to politicians who never pass this on to people who have real, hands-on expertise” Thanks for making the point & sharing this firefighter’s powerful testimony. 🙏🏻

@randahl@mastodon.social “… elected US president“ and alleged fully grown adult. Posterity will cringe. 😬

@jcrabapple@dmv.community A really interesting study! Love it that they looked at the "who benefits from the doubt?" question & followed the paper trail to provide answers that will surprise no one here… 🤔🙏🏻

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social Implicit assumption that climate-related systems are linear (because that is how graphs work): they are not. Non-linear systems are those we know & understand least about. Uncharted territory. All assumptions are fantasies. They may be comforting… but they’re still fantasies. 😕 #nonLinearSystems #climateCatastrophe #assumptions #fantasies #unchartedTerritory

@Abelvicent@mastodon.social Now add some thirsty data centres. ☹️

@dbattistella@mstdn.ca Another 50(?) for the ClimateDiary… #ClimateDiary #ClimateCatastrophe #unprecedented

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu What exactly is “climate neutrality”? 🤔

@tsturm@famichiki.jp All of the above - and the media that are reporting it are astonishingly uninformed, credulous & naïve. We deserve better all round. 🫤

@mybirdcards@mastodon.world It’s a spangled drongo. Said to be the only drongo in Australia (Wikipedia) but that’s not right. There are lots of drongos in Australia but most are not birds. 😀 https://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Dicrurus-bracteatus #spangledDrongo #drongo

@dianea@lgbtqia.space Lovely to hear this, 🙏🏻

@phaedral@beige.party Came here to say the same: perfect for a hashtag… or two even… ☀️🕶️ #megaconstellation #megaconstellations @sundogplanets@mastodon.social

@DrALJONES@mastodon.social Yes!: "If the ICC is paralysed, lawyers & judges worldwide must do more." #ICC #legalFraternity #theOtherAlbanese

@dbattistella@mstdn.ca Terrible to watch (the French fires) but you need to see it to believe it, to get your head around it. 🥺

@joyousjoyness@mastodon.social Cat yoga. Contagious, like yawning. I want to stre e e e tch now too. 😹🙏🏻

@n_dimension@infosec.exchange Wonderful: “A quote about the skilled losing access to wealth, whose skilled and entirely findable author [Browning] lost the attribution within a week. It demonstrates itself.” @gvwilson@mastodon.social

@Eetschrijver@mastodon.social Hear hear. Thank you @Nonilex@masto.ai for all your reporting, always appreciated. 🙂🙏🏻👏

@wonderofscience@mastodon.social Wow wow wow! 😮 “A 360° view from the surface of Mars from Perseverance Rover.” Just the fact of that, when you see it & think about it, sends shivers down my spine. 🫂 to the good Perseverance Rover & 🙏🏻 for sharing.

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social What arrogance! Palantir takes the benefits and avoids the costs; not exactly the behaviour of a good corporate citizen. Perhaps the expectations for their behaviour weren’t well explained to them? 🤔 (Ha ha, I will have my little joke… 🤡) #UKPol #arrogance #notTheBehaviourOfAGoodCorporateCitizen #behaviouralExpectationsNotExplainedPerhaps #littleJoke

@ajft@aus.social Great capture! You should be safe from mice now… 😀

@isol@mastodon.au Came here to say the same - another case of projection where “allegation is confession” - hope the US enjoys tariffing itself. 😂 @sarahtaber@mastodon.online

@slowe@mastodon.me.uk The pic is great - especially the bowler in action - & I love the humour! Very special to see & read through your thread. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻😀

@backupbear@aus.social Sorry for your coffee-less experience but I love the drawing: so elegant & expressive! 🤗

@davidho@mastodon.world I bet that was news to Daniel B.: “OnlyFans informed him that his appearance didn’t match the marmots in the videos.” 🤔

@terrymatz@wandering.shop Clever & attractive! Thank you! 🤩 🙏🏻

@six_grandfathers_mountain@mastodon.social Hope someone posts this to creepy Natalie H. 😀🙏🏻

@GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai Like the Russians do… @evacide@hachyderm.io

@stux@mstdn.social Younger leaders too, those with more skin in the game, instead of these old boys who won’t let go.

@cainmark@mstdn.social Yes, that was my thought too! Gross. They deserve each other. 🤮 @dangillmor@mastodon.social

@libreoffice@fosstodon.org “Digital sovereignty is not about owning everything, it is about ensuring that nothing essential can be taken away.” Clever reframing: “nothing essential” includes control, & choice. 👍

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk A duty and a calling. 📚

@dropbear@aus.social I think you are right about this! 🫤

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Now I understand why they don’t keep logs… (as per Eli The Computer Guy interviewed by Isaac - who was similarly aghast when he heard it- on The Tech Report). If you didn’t log it did it even happen? 🤔 #AI #AgenticAI #lookDaNoLogs #reconnectingConsequencesToCauses

@UP8@mastodon.social So much to like about this!: effective use of facts to make a case, connects via human handwriting (very readable too 🙂), all compressed into a tidy poster-size space, easily held up in 2 hands (also avoids facial recognition), and speaks loud & clear of care & compassion. 🙂🙏🏻

@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt By Buy Bye Isn’t English wonderful? #BinForTheWin #UKPol

@DeliaChristina@sfba.social OMG. Didn’t know that incompetence is catching. 🤷‍♀️

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy@aus.social No shortage of aviation fuel then… 🤷‍♀️

@kauer@aus.social Monies owed for work already done. Quite separate to the remedial builder in the future. #ICACRadio

@backupbear@aus.social It took me so long to find this toot again that I forgot why I was looking for… wait a minute… coming back to me now… something about the irrelevance & insensitivity while so much of France, Spain, & other countries are burning like never before while the burning-country-populations are busy having their lives &/or quality of life shortened/ reduced by breathing in smoke & particulates. Particularly diabolical for the young, many of whom are too young to vote, & have thus had no say on this future foisted upon them. #publicHealth #wildfires #breathingSmoke #breathingParticulates #reducingQoL #reducedLongevity #youngPeople

@randahl@mastodon.social Scary. ☹️🙀
