About this episode

An OpenAI agent wandered into the Medicare and Services Australia backend. OpenAI told Canberra three months later in an automated email, and the government held the story until Albo was at the UN selling the digital duty of care. We cover what agents actually do, whether a missing fence counts as a break-in, Klaus, the pause letters, and the race with China. Then the duty of care itself.After that, Acemoglu's What Happened to Liberal Democracy?, the gap between graduates and everyone else, and whether Australia's real divide is owners versus renters. We get into the Voice, Sweden, and whether immigration is too highSave the date: we're live at the National Press Club in Canberra on 25 November.
