WHO WILL DECIDE OUR
GLOBAL FUTURE NEXT? 💎I watched the recent Four Corners documentary:
The AI takeover: Who controls our future?
What stayed with me was not whether AI will become smarter than us. It was:
WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
A handful of companies are building systems that are reshaping work, education, politics, medicine and our everyday life. The benefits could be enormous. So could the damage. And we have been here before.
WE DID THE SAME WITH SOCIAL MEDIA.
When social media was new, we were dazzled by connection and largely let the companies building it make the rules. By the time we understood the consequences, those platforms were already embedded in our friendships, childhood, our news, and our politics.
NOW WE ARE DOING IT AGAIN WITH AI.
Except this time, we cannot say we haven't been warned. The people building these systems openly acknowledge the serious risks, yet the industry resists rules that might limit its freedom to build. Australia even considered mandatory guardrails for high-risk AI. Those plans were dropped.
HAVEN'T WE LEARNED ANYTHING?
I use AI. I see enormous value in it. This is not an argument against AI. It is an argument against handing extraordinary power to a handful of companies and sorting out the consequences later.
AI may become one of the most consequential technologies we have ever created. Surely that means more democratic oversight, not less.
The real question isn't: Will AI take over?
It is:
WHO ARE WE ALLOWING TO TAKE CONTROL OF AI AND THUS OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE?

#Duped, an AU Four Corners ABC investigation into food fraud on iView.
Corporate capture of Australian governments federal and state exposed.
Fish, eggs, tumeric & tomato sauces are shown to not be what they're claimed be.
Slave labour in the global tomato growing.
Hospitalisations due to allergens being present when the label explicitly states otherwise.

@ecoscore And the fallout has already begun.
A small Tasmanian producer has pulled products from sale after the Four Corners investigation raised questions about the true origin of ingredients supplied to Australian food manufacturers. Honest producers can end up paying the price when transparency fails.#fourcorners #food #foodfraud #countryoforigin #consumerrights #australia

@onekind #fourcorners last night did look at a vast variety and the bullshit in food labeling vs actual ingredients (or the lack thereof) is absolutely mind boggling 😬
-
Food fraud is a multi-billion-dollar business, and Australian consumers are paying the price.
This major two-part Four Corners investigation uncovers misleading origin claims, undeclared ingredients, adulterated food, and unethical global supply chains using forensic testing and undercover reporting.
If you care about what's really ending up on your plate, this is essential viewing.#4corners #fourcorners #food #foodfraud #consumerrights #australia

The latest Four Corners investigation is a damning indictment of how we're "solving" the housing crisis. We're handing public money, planning concessions, and loans to private developers—and in return, renters are getting "affordable" housing that often isn't affordable at all.
This isn't a market failure; it's a policy failure by design. When you outsource public good to profit-driven developers with zero accountability, this is the predictable result. We need genuine public housing, not corporate welfare dressed up as a solution.

Just watched this powerful Four Corners investigation. Victoria and WA shut down native forest logging in their state forests... but the demand for hardwood didn't vanish. Turns out Tasmanian old-growth logs are now flooding south to Victorian mills — including ones that got big taxpayer transition packages.
They're following the trucks, the money, and the ancient trees. Jobs vs. forests, regional towns vs. conservation battles in NSW too. Classic "zombie industry" stuff.#FourCorners #NativeForests #OldGrowth #Tasmania #Logging #Environment #Conservation #AustralianForests #ClimateAction

The latest episode of #FourCorners investigates accountability, systemic issues, and the use of force within the NSW police force—revealing staggering figures like $40 million in legal payouts and court costs in just one financial year.Watch "Brutal Force" on ABC iview:

New Four Corners investigation lays it bare: BHP talks big on climate while quietly shelving billions in green projects in WA.
Leaked docs suggest “net zero by 2050” is more PR than plan — all while raking in $22 billion from Pilbara iron ore.#FourCorners #4Corners #BHP #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis #Greenwashing #AusPol #WA #Mining #NetZero

This is one of those stories that starts with a horrific outcome due to police use of force.
In this case cops have been imo sold a fantasy, that Axon's products are safe & secure. The Australian's media has now caught up to where I was a few years ago, Axon makes cops the boys in ble.
This is currently an Australia / ABC exclusive but you can watch it online for free (after making an account) below 👇🏿

Last month I sat for a phone interview with some journalist, this morning I hear they are going to press with some references to my defcon police bodycam BLE talk.

lots of talk about “corporatisation of Universities”. There are well run corporations. The University management is incompetent and corrupt- that’s the problem. #FourCorners

Four Corners has long been regarded as the ABC's flagship investigative journalism program – and often Australia's premier current affairs show.
Yet there are several strong arguments why it no longer fully deserves that top-tier status. -

AHPRA looking very ineffective there.
Competency in communication is essential.
That AHPRA is letting communication incompetency past is dangerous and harmful.Wonder where they were when the following was happening?

Spoiler alert: for all the talk of a "war for the soul" of the Liberal Party, don't expect much to change.
The real battle isn't between moderates and populists—it's between keeping donors happy and actually representing voters. And we all know which side wins. -
The Liberal Party is at war with itself—and this isn't just about who leads, it's about whether they abandon traditional liberalism for Trump-style populism.
Four Corners goes inside the battle for the party's soul. -
Tropical moisture brought excessive rain and flooding to Arizona, western New Mexico and eastern Utah this week. This drought relief comes on the heels of an exceptionally dry summer and more limited water supplies for producers in the Four Corners states.
