The prime minister was asked if Altman apologised.

"Yes, he clearly … we can get into word games, but he clearly accepted that the company had not done good enough," Albanese said.

Yeah, don't worry, Americans don't know what he's actually saying half the time either.

Albanese said the incident was complex and unprecedented.

"It was a shock that it occurred because it was real and serious," he said.

"But it also, I think, was something that had been predicted, including by the AI companies themselves."

Right again. If only they could figure out what to do about it.

Australia is one of the countries banning teens from social media. Shouldn't they be able to ban OpenAI from their country too? Just give Sammy and Co a restraining order? Certainly makes more sense than the social media stuff, as companies can actually be held liable for things they intentionally do.
