“Mr Amodei met the prime minister and treasurer when they signed a memorandum of understanding between the company and the government, which included, among other things, a promise to "expand #Anthropic’s presence in #Australia".
The AI company has not publicly stated how much computing capacity it would like to obtain in Australia.
The #ABCAustralia reported in June that Anthropic wanted 5 gigawatts of new Australian computing capacity by 2030, with a longer-term goal of 20 gigawatts.
The #AustralianFinancialReview reported in July about a confidential tender sent by the #AI company to Australian #DataCentre builders asking for 1.4 #gigawatts of capacity, valued at more than $20 billion.”
“All The #HyperScalers” 🤣

One of the headlines on the ABC (Australia) home page today appeared as: "Gas giant launches legal action against Australia's biggest pork producer".
Taking it completely out of context, I choose to imagine that the planet Jupiter (a gas giant) has launched legal action against an Australian politician (politicians being known for "pork-barrelling" and "telling porkies").

"Women Riders World Relay on a mission to connect riders in every country, elevate visibility in industry."
Good on 'em!

A Hobart City councillor got a 7-day suspension for violating a code of conduct and is, predictably, whingeing about it.
She's a transphobe, so I hope she fails badly when she takes her case to the federal court.

So why does the Westpac CEO bloke get a free spruiking session on the supposedly non-commercial ABC just because Westpac sponsor cricket?? #Westpac #ABCAustralia #TheAshes

Some cuteness for today: an article about a guinea pig competition.

Interesting article on the right to protest, and anti-protest laws in Australia. It's a long one.

Murder accused former police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon makes courtroom outburst
He pleaded not guilty to all charges, though personally I think he's guilty as sin.
By the time the trial starts next September, it'll be over 2.5 years since the alleged murder.

"Australians lay dead as investors of Optus's parent company bought shares" is one hell of a link snippet. The burn melted a hole in my monitor.
I've often grumbled about the clickbaity headlines ABC Australia tacks above otherwise sane articles, but I have no complaint here. (The full headline is "Three Australians lay dead as investors of Optus's parent company Singtel were buying up its shares" - which lacks some of the punch but is an accurate summary.)

Hate to fuel conspiracy theories but Laura Tingle was cut off exactly as she said "South African apartheid moment" in relation to Israel on Insiders. Who pressed the dump button?

Seriously #ABCAustralia
FUCK OFF! with your Liberal Party /Murdoch Media talking points.
Australia does not have a funding problem for these projects. It has a REVENUE problem. If corporations and billionaires paid their taxes we could have a lot more Public Transport.
Plus the SRL connects multiply train lines together. It's not just for people traveling from Cheltenham to Box Hill. (another Murdoch media myth) #Auspol #SRL

ABC Australia management screwed up. This is not surprising given the calibre, and political biases, of the current incumbents.
The court finding is not surprising. What is surprising is that the ABC has not been brought back to its charter sooner, given its obvious bias in its broadcasts.
Time will tell if the ABC can recover its quality and reputation. One can only live in hope.
It is an important institution and when it operates properly benefits all Australians.

CW: Discrimination, news, Australia
NT government to reverse some anti-discrimination law protections.
"The plan to revoke the vilification clause was supported by faith groups"...
Well, f**k those faith groups. -
Why do news organisations - and most especially the (Australian) ABC - stay on X and Facebook? Anyone can find them there to pass on information, and I can see that might be a valid reason - in fact for any social media, even something as toxic as Truth Social. But only to use it as a source. For a news organisation to mix in, to actively participate, to communicate using those avenues, seems reprehensible given the nature of some of those bodies. Content creates attention, and attention is the lifeblood of X or Facebook, so while passively listening is one thing, actively contributing is implicit support.
With the honorable exception of Mastodon, I don't think the ABC should be giving that implied support to X, Facebook and their ilk.
Pretty sure this is not a very original position, but still.

Mike Bowers on Laura Tingle was so good. “Laura is here so it’s ok”. I absolutely share this feeling. Just the best of the best. #auspol #journalism #ABCAustralia

Bergerac (ABC). High production values. Stunning scenery. Plot a bit formulaic- detective traumatised, how unusual. But there is one unavoidable problem. The detective is pretty stupid. #ABCAustralia
