AUSTRALIA’S DEADLIEST NATURAL HAZARD: RIPTIDES – BBC NEWS

Statistics suggest treacherous Australian ocean currents kill more people every year than all of those combined. They’re known as riptides. They sweep people hundreds of metres away from the shore in just seconds. Now new techniques are being used to identify the danger – as Phil Mercer reports.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

nobody should be swimming in australian waters anyway. the warm water brings monster sharks into the area. Lord knows how many people get killed by sharks and dont just disappear.. but without proof they cant say it was a shark and its called a 'drowning'. BS. God made the ocean for fishing. Its not for you to play in, unless you wanna roll the dice at becoming an animals food.. sorry kids, anyone with a brain.. knows your life > swimming in the ocean. easy choice.

The only thing worse than a beach of rip tides, is a beach of rip tides that pull you out deeper into shark infested waters.

I was held to the bottom for some three or four minutes. Three wave sets sucked me and another to the bottom and all we could do was to relax and go into a trance of sorts until the waves let up. As it is I believe two surfers might have gone over us and broke the vacuum.

The best thing to do is always wear a swim belt or life jacket then. The rip can take you to Japan but you will still be floating.

I remember seeing one, in Spain and then these three girls and a couple (man and girl) were caught in one.
One girl from the friend group was never seen again and the girl from the couple was rescued by her boyfriend. I was about to go swimming there.

I and my family went to a beach once, sitting on the beach as the waves came up. We were sitting in the middle of a rip current. I felt weird because I thought, why am I getting pulled, and I remembered the warning sign. I said that this might be a rip current. It was almost night, nobody was out. The sun was just setting. I swear that thing pulled me so hard before I realized what I was in and scrambled out quickly. And to think we were playing games and having fun trying to stay in place because of the current. Oh god.

It's high time we stopped learning the tricks of recognizing a Rip tide. It's time to assume it will sneak up on you. The problem is how to survive it. So, hears the skinny, I having already used it when just a boy of 16……… You suddenly find yourself in churning dirty water. This is the upside down tornado that will move out to sea, finally giving up as it peters out. What to do??. Most important- DON'T PANIC. Keep your head up and dog -paddle enough to stay afloat without making any attempt o swim out of it, no matter how good a swimmer you might be. You may finally find yourself a half mile from shore, but you then swim to the beach to smooth water. r;

On Vieques island by Puerto Rico. 1989 ish, Myself and another were swept out to sea while we bobbed and exchanged gear. We wanted to search an unexplored area for Conch shells. I'm still coughing up sea water to this day. I inhaled most of the Caribbean swimming against that current. Still some great memories. I guess in retrospect, we both can swim.
