The OpenAI CEO says his industry needs government intervention. Whether it’s a ploy or a plea for help, we should be concerned

ChatGPT and its bedfellows are – among many other things – social media on steroids

As a general rule, whenever a CEO calls for regulation, you know something’s up. Meta, for example, has been running ads for ages in some newsletters saying that new laws are needed in cyberspace.

Labor Government ‘should be’ concerned as Voice support dropsLabor Government ‘should be’ concerned as Voice support dropsFormer Advisor to John Howard, Peter McGauran, says the Labor Government “should be” concerned as a recent poll revealed support for the Voice to Parliament has dropped. “I think the yes campaign … have had a reality check that this is not going to be a landslide vote in support of the voice,” Mr McGauran told Sky News Australia. “I think they have to take stock and rethink their tactics. “It’s still too generalised; people still don’t understand how it will operate. “The concrete benefits for changing the constitution … haven’t yet been enunciated.
