The AI overlords are starting to make things really uncomfortable.

OpenAI’s latest breach into Medicare is tip of the iceberg for the kind of security breaches we could end up seeing. Meanwhile, Albanese’s quick call to OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman has done nothing to quell our fears. (Especially when there’s currently no legislation in place to deal with these kinds of events). Angela Priestley reports.

On Wednesday this week, I sat in the audience at The Press Club watching my close friend and former colleague Georgie Dent deliver the mother (and father) of all speeches. Georgie documented the pressures on Australian parents including the systems designed for a bygone era. She also identified that for single and solo parents, the impacts are more acute.

Also today, the Dutch dictionary has added a new term for labia after a national campaign to replace the current word which translates to ‘shame lips’. Lovely.

And Catherine Fitzpatrick shares this piece about how workers in inclusive teams are significantly less likely to experience sexual harassment.

Plenty more on site! Enjoy the weekend (even you pesky Victorians with an extra day).
