AI The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has revealed that an artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI hacked into one of his government's websites. He said the breach happened in June, but OpenAI only told officials in Australia about it earlier this month. Stephen asks: should we embrace AI or pump the brakes? HOSPITALITY How much would you pay for a pint? Five pounds or maybe seven pounds? But how about ten pounds? An open letter has gone to the first minister urging him to back a campaign to cut the rate of hospitality VAT to 10%, the same as France, Spain and Italy. Bar and restaurant owners say that energy bills as well as a national insurance increases are crippling their industry, and a £10 pint could be the future. Stephen asks: does hospitality need a helping hand? WASTE Scotland's waste sector is on the verge of a crisis which could see rubbish piling up on the streets, according to experts. They say the combination of significantly reduced landfill space and a breakdown of Glasgow's main incinerator have created a 'perfect storm' which could see waste left uncollected. The Scottish government says it's monitoring capacity and identifying contingency arrangements. Stephen asks: are you worried about your bins being taken? GAMING GRANNY A Scottish granny, aged 78, has entered the Guiness Book of Records - for gaming. She's the oldest ever Fortnite streamer. Her name's Cath Bowie and she's from Aberdeenshire. Inspired by Cath, Stephen asks for the first video game you played.
