BBC (September 25)
Australia is “punching above its weight on one of the most defining issues of our time – big tech regulation.” On Wednesday, the nation “made a dramatic revelation” at the UN General Assembly by revealing its Medicare website had been hacked by Open AI in June, apparently the first time “rogue AI agents” have hacked a government body. In less than a year, Australia “has implemented the world’s strictest social media ban, announced what it says are the world’s strongest algorithm controls, floated the possibility of ‘world-leading’ limits on smart glasses, and is now the first government to confront AI firms over a rogue attack on its data.”

“It is odd that North Korea causes so much trouble. It is not exactly a superpower. Its economy is only a fiftieth as big as that of its democratic capitalist cousin, South Korea. Americans spend twice its total GDP on their pets.” And yet everyone is wondering what to do with this rogue. “There are no good options to curb Kim Jong Un.” But a first strike or “blundering into war would be the worst… The world must keep calm and contain Mr Kim.”

Kim Jong Un “governs the cruelest and most tyrannical regime in the world, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea…. And President Trump would be honored to meet him.” Trump also called the tyrant “a pretty smart cookie” since “at a very young age, he was able to assume power.” Kim Jong Un is a disgrace. To host him “in the nation’s capitol would be unacceptable, because it would give him undeserved approbation and put his rogue nation on an equal footing with our allies.”
