    That’s funny - surprised a laugh out of me: you writing that your “first instinct is to write
    I swear to god…” The rest of it, of course, is not funny at all. But good on The Age’s investigative team for bringing such rubbish behaviour to light. Now, if only there could be some consequences!

  11. From the wrap up [my comments in square brackets]: “The TGA [Therapeutic Goods Administration - surely one of our least agile/active regulators] has spent the last year reviewing AI scribes… its findings will be released [soon], and any breaches [apparently some of the 12 or so in use may be in breach of the law] will be acted upon.

    “Chief executive of Patients Australia Lisa Robins believed all scribes should be regulated, as summarising a patient still involved decision-making by AI.

    “Dr Stevens [RACGP's Digital Health & Innovation chair & advisor for one of the biggest AI scribes - potential conflict of interest?] had concerns that extending regulation would only stifle future innovation. [never heard that one before /s]

    “… DRW [Digital Rights Watch, they did a report] is calling on the newly established AI Safety Institute to test AI scribes and publish a list of approved tools… similar to New Zealand's approach, where the national AI advisory group reviewed tools and last year gave approval for clinicians to use two AI tools: Heidi Health and iMed.

    “Ms Deveny [Chief Executive, Consumers Health Forum of Australia, which recommends asking a no. of questions about your doc’s use of AI that could potentially take up all your appointment time] said ensuring doctors were using AI safely could also be enforced in other ways, such as compulsory checks and balances built into the software, or during practice accreditation… every three years.”

    What did the patient say in the end?: “Ms Green said her trust in AI has been splintered by what happened and now would only give consent for AI if she had an established relationship with the doctor.

    “"I love AI … but the essential ingredient is the human. At the end of the day what's happened here is more about the lack of human involvement," she said.”

    Excellent question. 🤔
    Reading through Deutsche Welles’ coverage of the rivers running dry (Rhine, Danube, etc) and local consequences (barges only a quarter loaded & cost implications for various industries, nuclear power stations reducing generation because not enough water or water temperature too high, etc) there’s a lot on local short term mitigation but little mention of action on the longer term beyond motherhood statements (like need to reduce fossil fuel burning). It’s very disappointing. ☹️

    Such a BIG central idea & true that it’s not being picked up in this context. Yes, the need for reform, then the bigger questions: how, to what, with what, and all the rest of it. Mature political discourse & debate in safe ways for everyone. I long for it - maybe we all do, each at our own level. Thanks for sharing your observations & initiating!

    Yes. If there are no consequences, why bother?

    Even if Telstra are fined, say, what does that do? Just makes the sloppy poor service more expensive for those forced to use it.

    Frightening. 🙀 Two smart people very much taken in & manipulated & not in a good way. Nothing in common except maybe loneliness; & the first guy’s cat died (sounded like he had no one to talk to about his feelings about that; quite common in our society - no one wants to know about your grief, few have mastered the art of just listening & letting you be sad… gross overstatement, but covers some truth). 😿

    Elon Musk’s X or whatever bit of his empire runs the Grok version of ‘AI LLM agentic thing pretending to be nearly a person’ never responded to enquiries (in their rude & usual arrogance). 😡

    The researcher & reporter ask what are the harms with more subtle cases? 🤔 Feel like we all want to know that… are we in mind control experiments if we use these things… 🤔
    It could be nice to have some reassurances. 😮

Nothing in common except maybe loneliness; & the first guy’s cat died (sounded like he had no one to talk to about his feelings about that; quite common in our society - no one wants to know about your grief, few have mastered the art of just listening & letting you be sad… gross overstatement, but covers some truth). 😿

    Elon Musk’s X or whatever bit of his empire runs the Grok version of ‘AI LLM agentic thing pretending to be nearly a person’ never responded to enquiries (in their rude & usual arrogance). 😡

    The researcher & reporter ask what are the harms with more subtle cases? 🤔 Feel like we all want to know that… are we in mind control experiments if we use these things… 🤔
    It could be nice to have some reassurances. 😮

    Frightening. 🙀 Two smart people very much taken in & manipulated & not in a good way.

  51. On the recent Telstra outage, looks like there are/will be few if any consequences. ABC reports:
    “The Telstra incident has led to further questions about what more the government could do to protect customers from future outages.

    “Senator Hanson-Young said tougher regulations were needed.

    “"There's no right to compensation for customers or penalties on the companies for failed mobile phone service," she said.

    “"We need stronger laws, stronger enforcement and stronger penalties."”

    Beautiful illustrations! 🙏🏻 Good to see some facts… on data centre consumption of land, water, power… all leading to a suggested reasonable course of action.
    Friends are shocked at the no. of data centres already in place & proposed. They say there’s been no discussion & it’s hard to get even basic information… The social license for these things is very thin. In popular culture the outcomes they enable are universally negative (eg 2 current programs: The Capture (ABC) - on the misapplication of surveillance, & Vigil (SBS) on the use of AI targeting & kill programs & mistakes). Less secrecy & more open dialogue might help. But when govts are secretive there’s often corruption behind it - how many & large are the lobbyist-purchased lunches & how big the donations into party coffers? 🤔
