@CreativeDeduct @DissentFu What idiotic statement! Labor is the one key driver that makes productivity and wealth. Workers make creators billionaires, not the other way around. Never forget that.

@DissentFu Well, to cut jobs you have to employ people in the first place. How many do you employ?

Billionaires create jobs though right?

@JohnnyP36192 @Unlimited_BU @eurofounder I live in Australia, as much as wages are decent in relative terms to NZ, wages are technically declining in Australia. Whilst the housing market is in the top 3 in the world for unaffordably. biggest issue is the wealth concentration, driven from the 300b printed in 5 years!

@ChelseaPinto @Unlimited_BU @eurofounder They follow the money basically. Also depends on their starting point. I was recently in New Zealand and the tour guide mentioned the young people in his extended family were moving to Australia for better prospects.

Netherlands just announced a new 120% wealth tax It will apply to the ultra-rich who earn above €150k per year So if you make €200k, you pay €60k on the €50k above the threshold Dutch officials explained it is to "discourage wealth hoarding behaviour" So beautifuly said Finally someone in Europe has the moral spine to put an end this selfish accumulation of wealth No human being should make over €150k a year It is a vulgar and borderline pornographic amount I hope more EU countries will adopt this progressive legislation This is why Europe is, and always will be, light years ahead of America

@RamzaBehoulve @brivael Marxism may not be the answer but capitalism and the way it’s ran is definitely not the answer too. It has an end by date and it’s getting closer and closer.

@brivael T'as reussi a placer un tacle au marxisme la-dedans? Respect.

Aujourd'hui grosse discussion avec mes ingés (chez Argil) sur pourquoi Elon a viré le LIDAR de ses voitures autonomes. Choix radical, moqué pendant des années, et comme d'hab il avait raison depuis le début. Le LIDAR c'est un laser qui balaye l'environnement et crache un nuage de points 3D. Sur le papier tu obtiens la géométrie exacte du monde. Dans la vraie vie c'est une verrue technologique collée sur le toit parce qu'on sait pas faire mieux avec la vision seule. Problème numéro un : ça rajoute une modalité dans le training du modèle. Ton réseau doit apprendre à fusionner vision + lidar + radar + ultrasons. Chaque capteur en plus c'est une source de désaccord à arbitrer, pas une source d'info supplémentaire. Sensor fusion artisanale = dette technique permanente. Problème numéro deux, la bitter lesson de Rich Sutton : scaler le compute sur une seule modalité bat systématiquement les architectures bricolées à la main. Tesla a dropé le radar, puis les ultrasons, est passé full end-to-end vision. Leur courbe sur les edge cases s'est accélérée APRÈS, pas avant. Waymo fait l'inverse et reste stuck en ops géofencée. Problème numéro trois, le plus fondamental : le LIDAR voit la géométrie, pas la sémantique. Il sait qu'il y a un truc, pas ce que c'est ni ce que ça va faire. Les derniers 9 de fiabilité sont des problèmes de cognition, pas de perception brute. Un capteur de plus résout rien, il ajoute du bruit. Sébastien Loeb balance une 208 T16 à 180 dans un chemin boueux corse sous la pluie avec zéro LIDAR. Deux yeux, un cerveau. L'évolution a donné des yeux aux prédateurs pendant 500 millions d'années, pas des lasers. Il y a une raison. Le LIDAR c'est l'équivalent du marxisme appliqué à l'économie. Une solution planifiée, centralisée, qui prétend modéliser explicitement ce qui doit émerger d'un système distribué et adaptatif. Tu remplaces l'intelligence par de la mesure, la compréhension par de la donnée, l'émergence par le contrôle. Ça rassure les ingénieurs qui veulent tout spécifier en amont, exactement comme la planif rassurait les économistes soviétiques. Et ça échoue pour les mêmes raisons : la réalité est trop riche pour être capturée par un capteur, comme elle est trop riche pour être capturée par un plan quinquennal. La vraie intelligence, celle de Hayek comme celle de Tesla, c'est de faire confiance à un système qui apprend de l'expérience plutôt que de tout pré-encoder. L'élégance d'une solution c'est son rapport signal sur complexité. Le LIDAR explose le dénominateur. Défendre le LIDAR en 2026 c'est préférer empiler des hacks plutôt que résoudre le vrai problème. C'est de la feignasserie intellectuelle maquillée en rigueur d'ingénieur. Les mêmes gens qui défendaient les systèmes experts en 2012 contre le deep learning. Ils finiront pareil. Never bet against end-to-end. Never bet against la simplicité. Never bet against Elon.

@PeterMcCormack Put up the charts for debt, inflation and cost of assets in relation to wages beside this all?

Socialists want you to die younger.

@samhbarton @CJHandmer @zooko Well the problem is the boomers and gen Xers are having a glorious time with high inflation and being able to buy endless property for cheap before it all. This keeps them voting in the neoliberals that were happy to keep pumping it!

@CJHandmer @zooko It’s pretty tough to see that the ‘lucky’ country has fumbled things so hard It’s the people’s fault though, ultimately. Too much “she’ll be right’ and thinking politics isn’t worth engaging in at all from the people who really should

When I was in Australia last December, I found it impossible to transact with any business where there weren't latent government price controls or subsidies of some kind. I came to the realization that with the public sector growing about 5x faster than the private sector, Australia was well on the way to an effectively government run economy, communism by stealth. I dug deeper - the point of no return occurred in about 2013. caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2026/04/16/aus…

@JohnnyP36192 @Unlimited_BU @eurofounder I simply ask where do all these high skilled workers go Johnny?

@ChelseaPinto @Unlimited_BU @eurofounder LOL. The dirty secret is that high skilled workers are in short supply everywhere. People working in government, and financial services aren't affected by taxation.

@Unlimited_BU @eurofounder So where do all these high skilled workers go?

@eurofounder Irony here is that the EU loses roughly €100 billion annually to brain drain, with high-skill workers relocating primarily due to tax and regulatory friction according to Bruegel Institute research. "Discouraging wealth hoarding" accelerates that number.

@eurofounder is there a reason why I can’t comment on your posts? Are you censoring people?

@artnova55 @eurofounder Most people aren’t producing anymore! Debt and inflation is driving hard assets through the roof, so the wealth inequality gap is growing in the direction like the early 1900s (not good) The system has reached its limit, the only way to fix it. Is to redistribute the pie

please explain why someone who works super hard, its much stronger than ethers, produces more value than others and create jobs... should be taken everything he built? What's then the motivation to those people to continue creating value? What if they are so much taxed that they wont hire anyone anyomre....

@PeterMcCormack I’d agree Peter! Tho your forgetting one lever! It’s called a revolution!

Wall Street near all-time highs. Consumers struggling. This is exactly how the system is designed to work. I’ve tried to warn you. Close to the money = you win Live on wages = you lose Now the uncomfortable truth: 1. It’s going to get worse for red liners 2. Your fav politician won’t fix this as it will cost them votes 3. You’ll still vote for them Guess what else that red line is, it’s your entire life - your small business struggling and the public services you rely on. The green line is the corporate high-life, the assets, the private healthcare. Taxing billionaires won’t fix this. They’re mobile and will move + there isn’t enough tax to fill the gap. Anyway, keep voting for this shit. You were warned.

@Keir_Starmer Yea another problem you had to foresight for! What is the point in even paying you people! And what you done to the Major of Manchester was idiotic! He was your best chance as Labour to regain power in the next election! U have no hope, actually u have no hope of getting there

The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz is deeply damaging. Getting global shipping moving is vital to ease cost of living pressures. The UK has convened more than 40 nations who share our aim to restore freedom of navigation. This week the UK and France will co-host a summit to advance work on a coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends.

@BallouxFrancois Comparing London to third world countries or South Africa is just plain silly, for being such a wealthy city, it is far from safe in relative terms.

I live in London, and I'm well travelled. London is one of the safest places I've ever been to. It is a beautiful, diverse and vibrant city and there's no 'no go' zone, absolutely none. Every bit of London, be it posh or poor, is remarkably safe by international standards.

@jsfry007 @realmrsthatcher I’ll blame whoever is responsible, whilst at the same time taking whatever I want from whoever I want because that was the oldest primal way of survival, and considering the financial world is doing the same! I see it as fair game. Best not get in my way old man

@ChelseaPinto @realmrsthatcher Quit blaming someone who was last in power nearly 40 years ago for any problems you have today.

Once you compress incentives from the top-down and say, "It doesn't matter how much you earn I'm going to take the lion's share away," they say, "Alright, I'm no longer going to do the lion's part." Then they stop creating the extra wealth which would benefit both themselves and society as a whole.

@Lisa9Sophia This makes complete sense! Gen X are the second biggest beneficiaries of the start of massive credit expansion back in the 80s. Politicians have feed the system since then.

Guys is this true? I really cannot believe 32% of men would vote Labor?! Labor told you for years you have “toxic masculinity” and even pay millions for a department and Secretary for Men’s Behaviour Change (how shocking is that) knowing full well that shamefully ***seven men a day commit suicide in Australia*** 💔 Labor insinuated you’re all domestic abusers and gave $30 million in health funding to mens health compared with $1 billion for women. Why are any of you still voting Labor after that?

@BuckCllr @realmrsthatcher Another idiot! Clearly doesn’t understand the privileges of being one of the first to experience wealth expansion!

100% accurate. All those advocating the narrative 'tax the rich', really mean, lets steal even more from those creating the companies, jobs and wealth. The rich already pay the most of all taxes in society. "given that wealth is the ONLY cure for poverty, you'd think the left would be as obsessed with its creation as they are with its redistribution, but you'd be wrong" (Thomas Sowell). It starts seemingly innocently enough with 'tax the rich', but left unchecked, it ends with far more sinister devastating actions, ask the Russian and French Royal families?

@jsfry007 @realmrsthatcher You’re an idiot like most boomers!

@realmrsthatcher I’m thankful I was a teen / young adult during Thatcher’s prime. She really got the UK on the right foot. I didn’t have the lived experience of the prior regimes - but I saw the data - inflation, unemployment, power distribution etc.

@PeterMcCormack If that’s the case Peter, let’s just go back to the most primal way. The physically strongest and most brutal gets whatever they want… what you say about that?

Paging stupid socialists. Some people are more gifted. Some want to work harder.

@elonmusk You must save us from these authoritarian countries like the UK and Australia. I’ve just had to verify my age to use Substack in Australia. They also plan to enforce the company to censor certain things. Please teach us how to stop this?

Can’t trust WhatsApp

@Substack why the hell do I have to verify my age now to use your app. I have been paying for 3 subscriptions worth over $150 a month and I’m not about to give in to Australia digital id! Grow a set and sort it out!

@er80544 @Curioserrr @brivael The disliking of the Muslim/islamic culture because it doesn’t align with western/christian heritage values and sees itself as a superior religion.

@Curioserrr @brivael Pourrais tu donner un exemple de qu’on pourrait qualifier de racisme , homophobie…que certains n’aiment pas mais qui ne le seraient finalement…de mon côté « un chat est un chat »

Je crois qu'on ne mesure pas ce qu'Elon Musk est en train de construire avec X. Tous les médias de l'histoire ont été couplés à une culture, une langue, une bulle géographique. Le Monde parle aux Français. Le NYT parle aux Américains. NHK parle aux Japonais. Chaque média filtre le réel à travers le prisme de sa culture locale. X est en train de devenir le premier média de l'humanité. Pas d'un pays. De l'espèce. Je le vis en temps réel. Mes posts en français se font RT par des Japonais, répondre par des Brésiliens, citer par des Américains. Des conversations qui n'auraient jamais existé il y a 5 ans. Un libertarien français qui débat avec un ingénieur de Tokyo et un entrepreneur de Sao Paulo sous le même tweet. Pas traduit par un éditeur. Traduit instantanément par l'IA, en un clic. Les bulles de filtre culturelles sont en train d'exploser. Et je pense qu'on sous-estime massivement les effets composés de ça. Quand une idée peut traverser un océan en 3 secondes, quand un argument sourcé posté à Paris peut être vérifié par un économiste à Singapour et amplifié par un développeur à Austin dans la même heure, le coût de propagation d'une bonne idée tend vers zéro. Et c'est catastrophique pour un type d'acteur très précis : les médias qui ont construit leur business model sur le monopole de l'information locale. Ceux qui pouvaient raconter n'importe quoi sur "ce qui se passe ailleurs" parce que personne ne pouvait vérifier. Quand un journaliste français écrit que "le modèle américain ne marche pas", maintenant il y a 50 Américains dans les réponses avec des sources. Quand un éditorialiste dit que "le Danemark prouve que le socialisme fonctionne", il y a un Danois qui explique que le Danemark est 10e en liberté économique mondiale. Le fact-checking n'est plus un département. C'est un effet réseau. Les médias honnêtes n'ont rien à craindre de ça. Les médias qui vendaient une narration protégée par l'ignorance géographique de leur audience vont avoir un problème existentiel. Parce qu'on ne peut plus mentir à l'échelle locale quand le monde entier regarde.
