‘Greatest natural advantage’: Labor under fire for maintaining Australia’s nuclear ban

Sky News host Jaimee Rogers questions why Labor is ignoring one of Australia’s “greatest natural advantages” while other nations rapidly invest in nuclear energy. “Australia has an opportunity to encourage countries to bypass China and come to us instead,” Ms Rogers said. “India is dramatically expanding nuclear.

Does AI mark an inflection point for civilization? | The Excerpt

In “The God Test,” Robert Wright argues that the real challenge of AI isn’t just building smarter machines—it’s deciding whether we can evolve, morally and politically, fast enough to develop an AI that’s mutually beneficial. As these systems begin to mirror—and amplify—human intelligence, agency, and even our flaws, the stakes become existential. Humans have shown that we can evolve. The question is: Will we?
