They're considering making new laws to be able to fine companies when they cause significant harm.

Don't put your pitchforks away

We already have laws that cover this, use them.

Anyone who is impressed by the function or output of a LLM, to a level they believe it’s in any way adjacent to intelligence, must be quarantined from the decision making processes that affect anyone not similarly cognitively impaired.

It’s embarrassing that our elected officials believe this shit is special.

Incorrect. Australia will be the first country to pretend to prosecute AI. Get your facts straight.

Ewwwww Newwwwww, a criminal cost of doing business slap on the wrist!

so my conspiracy theory is albo.gov.au is choosing not to prosecute bc it is desperate for anything to keep the economy out of recession.

we have harakiri'ed the education sector (2nd largest industry in the country), immigration (at the alter of phon/news corp) and the housing bubble (kinda, but no complaints)...

so data centre investment is kinda the only thing making the line go up.

... also jimmy chalmers is a full on AI belieber. $5 says he has an AI girlfriend.

Oh fuck off, as if this government is capable of making decisions that police corporate excess. Going by Labors track record they'll sabotage this somehow like only target businesses with less than $1 million in turnover.

...whilst also permitting diesel and natural gas powered data centers to be built. In short massively fucking hypocritical.

They're already failing to prevent harm, and being helped to carry out that harm by the Australian government.

They also had an appropriate reaction to school shootings.

Don't promise me a good time

The real problem is the ultra wealthy have different rules. So adding special rules for AI companies won't make any difference because they are all rich and those rules aren't changing.

That is a very unflattering photo, it was certainly a choice.

Surely the owner/manager of a "bot" or animal is responsible for it. Say like a savage wolf or escaped lion, or metal robot, or computer-program bot. Owner/manager should not only face fines, but something that actually punishes them. (Our "corrections" system, let's face it, is often about punishment.) That something should include deprivation of liberty, at the judges mercy. Fines would be a token amount that the corporation might pay, but there is surely a human ultimately responsible for pushing a button to unleash a computer program.

the virtue signalling will continue until morale improves
