A hidden video recording device has been found in an Australian navy ship's cabin, the Australian Defence Force (ADF) has confirmed. The device was located on Sunday in the cabin of Royal Australian Navy ship HMAS Leeuwin in Cairns, Queensland. The confirmation came after independent Australian senator Jacqui Lambie, a former veteran and defence advocate, told parliament she was contacted by personnel with allegations that concealed cameras have recently been found in the female sailors' showers facilities. Australia's defence department has not said whether the device was found in a female-only space and said the incident was referred to the Joint Military Police United. Lambie told the Australian Senate on Wednesday: I was also told this had occurred recently and prevented the vessel from sailing while investigations were ongoing.

Denver Kanowski believes the datacentre to be built to power Anthropic's Claude will go beyond harming the environment by disconnecting people from the things that really matter.

Rural Queenslanders have seen gas projects come and go - but a 725-hectare datacentre poses a whole new level of'stupidity' Residents of Dalby may soon live beside a $31bn datacentre. The premier sees'opportunity' for the state - but others fear AI's global creep From the veranda on his bush block, Denver Kanowski has watched resources companies come and go from rural Queensland for 70 years. The home cost him $800, and lets him live how he likes, in nature.

Anthropic's plan to build a datacentre in Queensland was announced by premier David Crisafulli on Wednesday. Anthropic's plan to build a datacentre in Queensland was announced by premier David Crisafulli on Wednesday. Premier describes deal as'major win' that will deliver more jobs for the state and put more energy into its grid Anthropic, the AI giant behind the large language model Claude, has done a deal to lease the site of its first Australian datacentre in western Queensland . The state premier, David Crisafulli, announced the decision in parliament on Wednesday. The proposed Western Downs digital park is to be built by Singapore-based Zerra DC near Dalby, north-west of Toowoomba, and will connect to the Braemar power station.

The team embedded electrodes into live cockroaches, then outfitted them with cameras and injection devices to deliver medication via remote control. Small robots and drones have increasingly been used to help respond to disasters, reaching locations that are too hard or too dangerous to send humans, such as collapsed buildings . Many of these efforts have been focused on search and rescue. But new research shows how bugs--with their ability to crawl through even narrower gaps in rubbled-- outfitted with electrodes could be used as the next generation of first responders. A research team from the University of Queensland (UQ) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed the "Paraborg" to not only help with searching for victims, but also administer first aid.

Anthony Albanese will tell national cabinet his government will legislate next year to ensure the benefits of AI and datacentres are shared among states. Albanese seeks to quell datacentre disquiet as climate expert warns'we've got one shot to get the rules right' Anthony Albanese will seek to use Wednesday's high-stakes talks with premiers to quell growing unhappiness about national controls on datacentre developments, promising new approval laws will complement state rules. Faced with growing opposition from conservative governments in Queensland and the Northern Territory, Albanese will tell national cabinet he plans a major piece of legislation next year to ensure the economic benefits of AI are shared widely. The meeting on Wednesday will come after the latest forecast from the Australian Energy Market Operator showing datacentre power use is projected to increase seven-fold over the next decade.

Considering different geographic regions generally have their own native sign languages, it is valuable to establish corresponding SL T datasets to support related communication and research. Auslan, as a sign language specific to Australia, still lacks a dedicated large-scale dataset for SL T.
