A few AI agents could achieve more than another government AI body. Australia is already lagging behind in tech, yet our response to the biggest economic revolution in history is more bureaucracy. We’re sleepwalking towards economic catastrophe as the world races ahead.

Bloke never misses a chance to add to the bureaucracy and regulatory burden of Australians.

Cities should replace property taxes with taxes on AI data centers and then recruit new companies to open up shop in their communities.
Public support would skyrocket.
AI could cure cancer tomorrow, but we wouldn’t know it for years and likely decades.
Because AI can only propose treatments or preventative treatments, it can’t instantly conduct years of medical trials in real people.
If AI was really gonna cure cancer, then why hasn't the entire industry focused on that and left all the other bullshit until later?

Another unexpected comparison: one of our data centers uses about as much water in a year as a single Krispy Kreme store.
Not the whole chain. One store.
At what point can AI start replacing politicians and their portfolios, because I have a strong candidate for the first one who should be replaced

In a randomised trial, software developers using AI took 19% longer to complete tasks. Yet they believed AI had made them 20% faster.
At the ‘Evidence in Action’ event, I argued for a government that tests what works, and saves money by learning from the results. ministers.treasury.gov.au/mi… #randomistas
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 19%/20% figures are from a July 2025 METR study of experienced open-source developers using early-2025 AI tools, which the authors describe as an outdated snapshot; a 2026 follow-up found some evidence for speedup with newer tools.

Nothing beats the overlap between the anti data centres crowd and the bring back made in Australia crowds.
Like it or not, data and data centres are the modern industrial complex which will drive jobs and most importantly tax revenues in the years to come.

The irony is if Trump just did what he said he would, like made in America and no more wars, this blue tsunami wouldn’t have happened.
Instead he lost a war in Iran and did economic deal with Russia.

Europe needs to start really looking at the influence Elon is having over the Ukraine war, and ultimately the future of Europe.
As good as the tech is, Starlink bans, including aircraft traveling to/from European airports, need to be seriously considered.
What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.
The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

All polls show that Ukrainians don’t want to surrender.
Musk is trying to manipulate you. He is the elite he is warning you about
The sad reality following the horrific attack on Helen Haines is that it will drive decent people of all political views away from pursuing a career in politics.
Something we all lose from, no matter who you vote

Donald Trump and the GOP is currently enabling, supporting and financing the largest deliberate mass slaughtering of white, European Christians in modern history.
Just let that sink in
#Ukraine #Russia #PutinWarCriminal
A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.
Right now this platform is full of people from all extremes of politics throwing mud at each other over the horrific attack in Wangaratta.
Seriously WTF is wrong you, you all share a responsibility for this and why a mother will live the rest of her life without legs.

Forget Ukraine for a second.
American soldiers are DEAD.
Trump’s own intelligence say Russia is helping Iran target US forces.
Yet Trump denies it, shields Putin from sanctions and cuts deals with Moscow.
How the FUCK is this not the biggest betrayal of Americans in history?

Ukrainians are fighting a dictator to save their country.
MAGAs are fighting their country to save a dictator.
