Australia news live: shadow arts minister Angie Bell, a former musician, says AI giants must pay for content
Follow the day's latest updates Court approves $23.5m fine and costs order against ASX Shadow arts minister says AI companies need to do what everyone else does: 'ask permission and pay for it' Albanese defends gambling reforms, says he's'not against someone having a punt' Pocock says it's'tragic' gambling reforms don't go nearly far enough Shadow arts minister says AI companies need to do what everyone else does: 'ask permission and pay for it' If AI companies want to use Australian creative work, they should do what everyone else does: ask permission and pay for it. Australian creativity is one of our greatest national assets - not a free resource for multinational tech companies. The Coalition will always back the right of artists to control their work and be fairly compensated when others profit from it. This is about consent, fairness and respect for Australian creativity.

Australian musicians sound warning note after Nick Cave, Kylie and many more slurped into AI training tool
Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue are among Australian artists reportedly found in datasets used to train artificial intelligence. Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue are among Australian artists reportedly found in datasets used to train artificial intelligence. 'It's all just rendered useless', Something For Kate's Paul Dempsey says as AI scrapes millions of songs to learn how to make music Paul Dempsey and Bernard Fanning are among big-name Australian musicians upset that their original songs have been found in datasets used to train artificial intelligence. A dataset search tool recently created by US publication The Atlantic reveals millions of creative works have been scraped from the internet to train the disruptive technology. It includes a vast catalogue of work by Australian artists, with tunes by Kylie Minogue, Powderfinger, Nick Cave and Jimmy Barnes, and novels by Thomas Keneally and Peter Carey.

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez Will Fight for Press Freedom--Until Trump Fires Her
President Trump probably can't get rid of her yet, but FCC commissioner Anna Gomez still checks her email every day to see if he has. Until then, she wants to stand up for the First Amendment. If you've given much thought to the Federal Communications Commission in recent years, it probably had something to do with Brendan Carr . The group's chairman since 2025, Carr has been on an ongoing, public rampage against freedom of speech: he's gone after late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, threatened to revoke broadcast licenses over Iran war coverage, and targeted networks for their DEI policies. Disturbing as Carr's rhetoric and actions have been, he does count at least one opponent within the agency: Commissioner Anna Gomez, currently the lone Democrat among three FCC commissioners, has been vocal about the damage she thinks the agency is doing to American press freedom--and has repeatedly urged the public and the press, namely major networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC, to fight back. In May, Commissioner Gomez penned a stunning public letter to Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro, wherein she warned that the company--which owns ABC--was being subjected to "a sustained, coordinated campaign of censorship and control, carried out through the weaponization of the FCC's authority as a federal regulator and aimed at pressuring a free and independent press." Gomez urged D'Amaro to fight the actions her own agency was taking, adding that "this is a fight worth having, and one that I am confident you will win." I wanted to talk to Commissioner Gomez about that bold letter, the risks she sees for the media and the American public under the Trump administration, and how she works alongside a chairman with whom she disagrees so fiercely. Gomez, whose FCC term ends this month, was generous enough to sit down and talk about all of it. You can read our conversation below, or listen to it on the podcast platform of your choice. KATIE DRUMMOND: Welcome, Commissioner Gomez. Thank you for being here. It's great to be here. I want to start, before we talk more about Disney and your letter and all the rest of it, with a very basic question for our listeners. What is your agency's basic role?
Do esports students do more than play games?
Do esports students do more than play games? Playing video games in college may seem unusual, but for many teenagers across the country, it could lead to professional careers. Students at Central Bedfordshire College have just finished their first year of the Level 3 Pearson BTEC in esports, the first time the college has offered such a course. While gaming is a key part of the learning, students also study a broad range of modules designed to prepare them for work both inside and outside competitive gaming. These can include psychology to understand how the brain reacts under pressure, alongside nutrition and fitness to ensure they have the energy to compete effectively.
Pump.Fun's Bounties Platform Is a Black Hole of Circular Grifting
Pump.Fun's Bounties Platform Is a Black Hole of Circular Grifting The crypto platform claims you can "pay anyone to do anything," from quitting a job on camera to getting a memecoin-themed tattoo. But it mostly seems like people trying to scam each other. Would you run into a crowded university lecture hall, fart into a megaphone, and bellow "fartcoin" at the top of your lungs? If so--and should you have the means to document this stunt on video, preferably capturing the audience's reaction--you may claim a reward of approximately $1,000 . The money, of course, will be dispensed in fartcoin, a meme cryptocurrency trading at a little over 10 cents at time of publication, with a total market capitalization hovering around $130 million. Such is the promise of Pump.Fun GO, a new feature on Pump.Fun, one of the fastest-growing crypto businesses of the past few years.
Microsoft's new Outlook now supports offline email attachments
PCWorld reports that Microsoft's new Outlook app for Windows 11 now supports adding email attachments while offline, with messages automatically sending once internet reconnects. This update addresses a key limitation for users who frequently work without reliable internet connections or need to prepare emails in advance. Despite these improvements, many users continue preferring the classic Outlook or web version over Microsoft's repackaged web app approach. For several years, Microsoft has been trying to persuade users to move from the classic Outlook app for Windows 11 to the new version, which is (essentially) a repackaged web app. The latest update offers improved offline support, making it possible to add attachments to emails without an internet connection. The emails will send automatically once you've got a working connection again. According to Windows Latest, Microsoft has been testing this feature since October 2025, with a wider rollout only now beginning. Although the "new" Outlook has improved recently, many still prefer the classic app or the web version.

Inspired by Ukraine, and worried by China: Taiwan teaches its citizens how to fly drones
I n a small, crowded room in Taipei, Pan Chien-chin is trying to keep a drone hovering steadily. Imagining himself flying a plane, he gently nudges controller joysticks to guide the insect-like device as it hums through the air. Cheers break out as Pan, who has never flown a drone before, steers it around a rectangular course marked by traffic cones without crashing. Around him are about two dozen fellow trainees, all signed up for the same course: Taiwan's first civil defence drone training programme. "The war in Ukraine has really changed how drones are used," says Pan, 48, a food company worker. "It's like giving myself another skill, something I can use if it's ever needed one day," he adds.
Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma Beyond Euclidean Geometry
The Johnson-Lindenstrauss (JL) lemma is a cornerstone of dimensionality reduction in Euclidean space, but its applicability to non-Euclidean data has remained limited. This paper extends the JL lemma beyond Euclidean geometry to handle general dissimilarity matrices that are prevalent in real-world applications. We present two complementary approaches: First, we show the JL transform can be applied to vectors in pseudo-Euclidean space with signature (p,q), providing theoretical guarantees that depend on the ratio of the (p,q)norm and Euclidean norm of two vectors, measuring the deviation from Euclidean geometry. Second, we prove that any symmetric hollow dissimilarity matrix can be represented as a matrix of generalized power distances, with an additional parameter representing the uncertainty level within the data. In this representation, applying the JL transform yields multiplicative approximation with a controlled additive error term proportional to the deviation from Euclidean geometry. Our theoretical results provide fine-grained performance analysis based on the degree to which the input data deviates from Euclidean geometry, making practical and meaningful reduction in dimensionality accessible to a wider class of data.
