“Unlocking AI potential” isn’t served by hollowing out our #Copyright laws. Because the current #TechBros crop of #LLM #GenAI offerings have nothing to do with the advancement of knowledge and the welfare of society and all to do with unlocking potential earnings to subsidise the massive defficits of those companies.

Senior Albanese minister clashes with Pocock over top-secret AI copyright claim

Federal politician David Pocock has clashed with a senior Albanese government minister over a whistleblower claim that federal cabinet is considering plans to let AI companies train on Australian copyright material.

I am physically revolted by the notion that out political class is swayed by #SnakeOilMerchants and their #GenAISlop propaganda and lobbying. The idea that our politicians could be in cohoots with those #TechBros pushing for massive #Datacentres (to do what? one wonders if anything but hoovering cash) on the pretext that Australia Might Loose Out — in a Race to Financial ruin. #LLM #GenAi ‘s claim to fame is its #FinancialBubble, #CrossInvestments and #EphemeralProfitsInTheNeverNever. The whole GenAI thing and its datacenters is a ponzie scheme that our political #trainedMonkeys are enabling with glee and scant regards for the society they are stewarding (in name only). Gosh this is upsetting.

Worse is the #Secrecy and total lack of #Clarity and #transparency from Govt Ministers down. Hail the brave whistleblowers come out, come out, and sink this stupid circus.

Dear Zeus, a day out of my box and I’m breathing fire from both nostrils in less than 10 minutes over this bit of reporting.

What is really upsetting to me is the fact Australia is one of the driest places on earth ... and any government allowing these money grubbing bastards free reign over what little water we have ... deserves to be voted out.

PS. Getup has a petition going ... hopefully that will get enough people signing to show the government what we think of AI data centres ...
