AI (security, privacy, HPC) at University of Melbourne, researcher who rides bikes to go nowhere, and lifts heavy things for fun. Surprisingly interested in Iranian brickwork (just weird like that).
Probably would be a good idea to actually fund research and commercialisation in AI then....? Australia does punch above its weight in terms of AI research efficiency, but fundamentally without money the country will continue to experience a brain drain.

Good to see politicians going so quickly from responding to groundswell to trying to put forth action. But long term this isn't about CSIRO, it should be about how science is treated (and funded) in Australia.

This seems to be...interestingly timed, given the lawsuit regarding Adam Raine. From a security perspective, I'm curious as to what exactly OpenAI has done that leaves them confident about amping up how much "like a friend" LLMs will be, given our evolving understanding of the human risk landscape.

To anyone learning how to present data - study this graph from Gotham Polling (gothampolling.com/study-nyc-ma...). Study it in great detail. And then do absolutely everything differently.

To anybody thinking that AI is benign, apolitical, and intelligent, it's important to remember that it's just a system made by people, and can reflect a whole range of biases.
And we're not talking about a bias towards Jar Jar Binks voice being intrinsically funny.
