@DrewPavlou As you say, it’s a tool and tools used wisely are human-enhancing. Well done.

Now that I have all this research and this historical timeline, I am thinking of actually properly writing a book about the incitement that took place in Australia leading up to the Bondi Massacre. I personally don't like AI for writing prose. That is an area where I am still a human purist. But for parsing massive amounts of data in order to help reconstruct a historical timeline, this stuff is fucking awesome. It's an amazing tool, I think if you use it to *support* rather than replace human cognition it is ideal. It's a tool like using a calculator

AI is legitimately amazing - for $400 in API credits I just used Claude Code to carry out a research task that would have cost at least $100,000 if I had hired a research consultancy and over $450,000 if humans had to literally replicate every classification the AI produced. And I still have literally no idea how to code - the first time I ever touched Terminal was like 3 weeks ago. So I did this all as a lay person. I will try to explain my task. Basically I'm preparing a submission to the Royal Commission into the Bondi Massacre. From October 7, 2023 to present I basically compiled what is possibly the largest public archive of Islamist extremist incitement and far-left incitement in Australia. I just began tracking it all obsessively from October 7 onwards because I always strongly believed that it would eventually end in a horrific atrocity like Bondi. Every time I encountered a horrific instance of Islamist extremist incitement or far-left incitement against the Jewish community, I basically posted it to my X. All up I chronicled maybe 5,000 to 6,000 seperate instances of Islamist incitement and far-left incitement. The problem is that these 5,000-6,000 important posts were buried amid all my other tweets - almost 110,000 posts overall. Given the limitations of the human mind it was impossible for me to recall every relevant post - I had forgotten so much of it. So I downloaded my entire Twitter archive - twelve ZIP files totalling around 700GB once you include all the legacy livestream data - then used Claude Code to extract just the actual text I'd posted, around 5GB. I then used Claude Code to write a script to analyse all 110,000 seperate posts I made after October 7 to isolate cases of far-left incitement and Islamist incitement. Claude Code operated for like 13 hours overnight. API costs were like $400 because Claude Sonnet 4.6 read every entry and produced a structured verdict: in-scope or not, confidence score, category tags, one-sentence rationale, hyperlinks. Claude produced 12 indexed PDFs including: - A full 1,700 page archive of all 6,000 relevant posts - A 663-page high-engagement subset - A 87-page key-incidents volume (Opera House riot, Wakeley church stabbing, etc) - A 162-page month-by-month trend report - A 253-page literary diary reconstruction of the period I then asked the same model to re-classify every in-scope entry by ideological source - was the perpetrator Islamist, progressive-left, far-right, etc. So it created further indexed PDFs totalling hundreds of pages chronicling instances of Islamist incitement and hundeds of pages chronicling instances of far-left incitement. Unsurprisingly the vast majority of anti-Semitic incitement that I chronicled from 2023 to 2026 came from the Australian far-left and Islamists: - 38% was Islamist, - 28.6% progressive-left, - 4% far-right With a significant amount of the balance involving cases of Islamist-left fusion. Where this is amazing is that if I had to do this without AI, I would have had to hire a full research consultancy. To replicate exactly what the AI produced, every classification with rationale, every analytical layer, runs to A$455,000 of labour

I believe Dean Young becomes the person in history to become interim coach at the same club twice. @AndrewRLP , is that stat correct? I think it is. Would love confirmation.

Yesterday, when Lancaster and Watsford fronted the media to tell you Flanagan was no longer coach, you saw the unprofessionalism, sycophancy, narcissism and utter depravity of our clubs upper management. The club has fallen to depths I'm not sure it recovers from. RIP Saints.

“What would you say to a young Christian who is nervous about the future?” I love @TimKellerNYC’s answer. I think about it every Easter.

How good did this age @AlboMP you gronk.

Best video on X you will see today. Bold Gospel declaration between @WesleyLHuff on the @stevenbartlett on the diary of a CEO podcast. It is rare to see someone take being told they are going to Hell so well.

@MeanHash Thing is, people relying on other peoples businesses to hire them is what is being challenged. Find your own hustle, make it work, stop relying on others to pay you.

Oh it is going to get so much worse. If you want to keep or get a job, get into workplace automation and start eliminating other people's jobs.

@JeremyClarkson honestly is one of the worlds best men. A generation of blokes growing up would have missed out on so much if he didn’t grace our screens…

The Chinese 🇨🇳 Communist Party now sees even personal faith in Jesus Christ as a threat, and rightly so. Because no one can believe The Bible and remain a communist. It’s the first book they always get rid of—and the first people they always imprison or execute. This is behind what’s happening in Canada as well.

Unless we do this, our inheritance WILL NOT survive. @dr_mcinerney speaks at QLD Parliament House for BACPAC25.

@SteveMascord Interesting quote - where from?

"Class issues, between a middle class who predominantly saw preference for sporting activities over military service as a dereliction of "national duty", and a working class that felt it had already sacrificed far too much."

According to the ex-NSW Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner for Japan and Korea, Michael Newman: 🇦🇺 Australia has 140 public servants to every 1,000 people 🇯🇵 Japan has 38 per 1,000 people. 🇦🇺 Employs 2.5 million bureaucrats, costing us $232 billion a year. 🇯🇵 Has five times our population, runs on 3.3 million bureaucrats and spends only $270 billion. 🇦🇺 17 per cent of the working age population is now on the government payroll. 🇯🇵 Just five per cent. 🇦🇺 Bureaucrats are on bigger salaries too. Per head, Aussie public servants earn an average of $93,000 versus Japan at just $76,000. 🇦🇺 At the senior executive level, federal heads of department are raking in up to $1,000,000 Aussie dollars a year. 🇯🇵 To compare with Japan, the top earning politicians in the Asian archipelago bring home about $255,000. Mr Newman sensibly suggested that senior civil servants should be paid like private sector professionals, with a smaller base salary with performance-based rewards. As Thomas Sowell said "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

Hey @elonmusk , why is this post by @MillicentSedra hidden citing ‘hateful conduct’? There’s nothing hateful in it.

Hey @elonmusk , it now adds caveats.

Peak parody - the Premier responsible for the biggest surge in crime across all states is lecturing us on how to prevent it.

Men.
