THE PERSON WHO FIRED SAM ALTMAN JUST WENT ON RECORD. And what she said is going to be very hard for OpenAI to ignore. Helen Toner. Ex-board member. The person who was in the room. Not a rumor. Not a leak. Not an anonymous source. THE PERSON WHO VOTED TO REMOVE HIM. Here is what she says happened. Sam hid the ChatGPT launch from the board entirely. Lied about owning the OpenAI Startup Fund. Provided falsified safety information. Then lied to oust her after her research paper. The board did not fire him over a disagreement. They fired him because they said they could no longer trust a single thing he told them. Think about what that means. The most powerful AI company on earth. Run by someone his own board said they could not trust. And the world kept using the product anyway. This is not a drama story. This is a governance story. And it raises one question nobody in tech wants to answer out loud. If the people closest to him lost all trust — what does that mean for everything built on top of the decisions he made. The AI industry does not have a technology problem. It has a transparency problem. And this is the loudest that problem has ever been stated on the record. Follow @cyrilXBT for the AI stories, systems, and shifts that actually matter.

Per capita, federal investment in CSIRO is less than 1/2 what it was in the 1980s. Successive governments have starved our national science agency and we're now paying a price. Today the Senate inquiry I set up with the Coalition and the Greens tabled a Report. My additional comments call for what CSIRO actually needs: a permanent, ongoing lift in base funding - an investment in our future. canberratimes.com.au/story/9234897/…

“It’s always a sad day when I have to remind people of gas lobby talking points,” said the PM

If you think 'Sov Corps' are not happening in the UK, think again. Starmer tweeted that the UK Govt was in an official Govt partnership with Blackrock, who just happen to be the most criminally corrupt shadow bank in the world. Blackrock are now expanding their second empire-building model into ‘Natural Assets’ or ‘natures economy’ which, are not yet part of the financial system. BlackRock has long peddled the idea of public-private partnerships for infrastructure, climate and development. The new ‘natural’ infrastructure that is now being unlocked is about moving nature into a debt-riven corporate model or racket, of course under the guise of being ‘green’ and ‘sustainable economic growth’. This has nothing to do with saving the planet, it is about preserving the power of most corrupt financial elites, partnering them up with willing govts who have sabotaged their own economies and allowing them to ‘self-regulate’ in SEZs which range from 34 to 75km in diameter. 48 SEZs and 8 Freeports in England 18 SEZs and 2 Freeports in Scotland 8 SEZs and 2 Freeports in Wales The UK is being carved up into patchworks of corporate sovereignties, with deregulation on steroids, and UK State aid is exploited for profit motive, which is BTW illegal in the EU, why? Because that would distort and disrupt the integrity of the EU's Single Market. Each SEZ receives £160 million, each Freeport receives 25 million. Sunak's flagship Brexit Freeport was Teesside; it overspent 22 times more than the official State aid figure, a whopping £560 million, and get this, the profits were split 9 - 10 in favour of the private sector. All UK free zones have licenses for £25 years, this is why Keir Starmer said 'there will be no rejoining the EU in my lifetime" The Tories and Labour colluded on the nationwide free zones rollout, they were implemented via secondary legislation, meaning zero debate in Parliament, zero consultation with the public, and zero notification of the press.

Hilariously, all Republicans jumped up to applaud when King Charles mentioned the need for the Executive branch to have "checks and balances." They have ALL FAILED miserably to check and balance trump.

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research. Alzheimers. One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today. He's not interested. He's a nasty piece of work.

Merz isn't wrong in saying he's "disillusioned" with the US & Israel over Iran because they "claimed at the beginning that they could solve this problem within days. Now I must recognize: It is not solved." But he is in no position to complain. He applauded the war and as a result, owns the outcome. This is typical of some EU leaders who support and help facilitate the US's worst instincts, and then pretend they are innocent when the foreign policy adventure predictably goes wrong.

If you're wondering why your petrol is expensive ... BP have just reported Q1 profits of £2.4 BILLION - which have more than DOUBLED following the surge in oil prices caused by TRUMP'S ILLEGAL WAR. That's just in ONE QUARTER. Blatant Profiteering.

Israel continues to destroy civilian infrastructure as shown in this video, which captures the Israeli army destroying solar panels in southern Lebanon. Amnesty International has previously documented extensive destruction by the Israeli military along Lebanon’s border before and after the November 2024 ceasefire. We called for reparations and the investigation into this for war crimes. So far, neither has appeared. Since the more recent 2026 “ceasefire”, civilians in southern Lebanon’s border villages, many of whom are displaced, are continuing to witness their homes, land and infrastructure destroyed. Israel must stop the unlawful destruction of civilian property across southern Lebanon.

A billionaire giving a millionaire a private plane. Another day in the life of the 1% 🤑

Israeli soldiers are so confident of their impunity that, since Oct 7, 2023, they "have assembled one of the most extensive self-incriminating records in the history of modern warfare," posting videos to Instagram, TikTok & Facebook under their own names. trib.al/bes5ALE

Israel killed Mila today in Tayr Debba, South Lebanon.

Meanwhile back in Australia… ‘Parts and components” for the lethal F-35 fighter jet have been covertly exported to Israel - . from Sydney’s busy international airport, . by commercial shippers, . handled by civilian cargo handlers, . transported in commercial aircraft, . flown by civilian pilots and airline staff, . on commercial passenger flights, . with unaware civilian passengers, . to an unsuspecting foreign international airport, . for ongoing transport to the Israeli war zone. But the Defence Department declined to reveal whether they had assessed all the risks in such export procedures. Details: declassifiedaus.org/2025/10/01/sec…

"Australian democracy was not stolen in a single act of corruption. It was purchased incrementally, transaction by transaction, over thirty years, by a foreign-aligned (israeli) lobbying apparatus so deeply embedded in both major parties that it no longer operates as an external pressure group. It functions as an internal governance structure."

This is my city, Beit Hanoun. It was home to more than 50,000 civilians two years ago. Now, not a single house remains, not even a tree. The Israeli army was extremely moral, it didn’t drop even a single nuclear bomb, but instead dropped explosives equivalent to ten nuclear bombs combined. What a morality!

Every time you can’t afford to pay your rent, mortgage or power bills and every time you can’t afford to buy food, medicines or fuel, take comfort in the fact that Labor is allowing gas corporations to make $billions more profit by taking our gas free. Nobody left behind ✊

So here we have an Israeli settler running over two Palestinian girls while they were on their way to school, just for fun......

This really hasn't been looked at anywhere near enough. Naveed Akram, the young Bondi gunman allegedly came onto ASIO's radar in Oct 2019 where he was allegedly "monitored" for 6 months. ASIO claims they concluded after 6 short months that he “no longer posed a security threat.” That brings ASIO to March/April 2020 The linked ABC article shows former ASIO head, Dennis Richardson, who recently resigned from the Bondi Royal Commission, indicating to ABC that his resignation was influenced by many factors, including him questioning ASIO’s sudden dropping of Akram’s monitoring. In the beginning of 2020, ASIO was reeling from one of the most significant budget and staffing cuts in its history, implemented by Dennis Richardson's successor, the eternally publicity focused, Mike Burgess. This blood letting of ASIO staff, known as the Red Wedding, saw many experienced ASIO staff leave or take redundancies in and around exactly the same period it was allegedly concluded that Akram was “no longer a threat”. In other words, they simply stopped what they were doing. The time of March/April 2020 is also highly significant for the full throttle impact and uncertainty of Covid as it hit Australia with a bang. Layoffs began, workplaces started entering restrictions and panic set in. Given Dennis Richardson’s recent statements, it’s worth questioning why the very timely and quick conclusion from Oct to March that Naveed Akram simply didn’t need to be monitored or assessed anymore, also happened to occur at the same time of ASIO clearing out so many vital staff with $8.6M in savage budget cuts, as well as the devastating and unprecedented arrival of Covid. abc.net.au/news/2026-04-2…

Mike Burgess had a face to face secret meeting with the homicidal barbarian that is the President of Israel who signs missiles destined to kill women and children, and then there's the wife a dual citizen Israeli
