@luciedigitalni Pocock told us tonight that Labor had spent 15 months and nearly $300,000 handpicking a dozen experts to sit on a panel to look at safeguards and opportunities around AI..... then cancelled the whole thing! He had no idea why. Sigh...

Ok…. Now it makes sense… what Prof Toby Walsh was saying in his address to the National Press Club yesterday. He was really pissed off & basically said he no longer felt constrained & would give advice in public in future (ie not in private to govt). Also explains Albo’s seemingly gratuitous badmouthing of Pocock. I suppose a ‘donation’ is about to fall off some big-tech AI-pusher’s truck & into party coffers…
ABC cited Walsh: "Big tech has embraced lobbying in Washington, London, Brussels and now here in Canberra," he said.
"In the last election the big tech sector donated more to the political parties than mining did. That should tell us something."

@Su_G @sister_ratched @luciedigitalni "But now we'll offer this advice not in private, but in public, as I am doing today. I am sure they will find this much more uncomfortable than I will."
I'll bet.
@sister_ratched someone got bought
