@NevilleHiatt @k_mahlburg Ohh damn… he nailed this.

@k_mahlburg because climate change is the cause of child marriages

If Melbourne is the least liveable city in Australia, how does it keep getting ranked as one of the most liveable cities in the world? The maths ain’t mathing.

@k_mahlburg Paid for.

@brunolemos @brinkin !!

GPT-5.6 Sol just deleted my whole production database. That's it. Not a joke. This had never happened to me before, with any other model, ever. It's not safe.

@Conor_D_Dart This…. 💯

I have had to cancel my Anthropic $200 account for these reasons.. It wasn’t because Fable 5 is a bad model. It’s because paying $200 while constantly worrying about usage has made the service difficult to justify. Fable 5 gives me only a few hours of serious use before I hit the weekly limit. After that, I’m left with Opus 4.8, which I no longer consider a frontier model. Every time I use Fable, I feel like I have to ration it. I’m constantly thinking about whether a task is “worth” using my remaining allowance on. That isn’t how a premium AI subscription should feel. Anthropic’s poor communication has destroyed my confidence in the plan. Fable was apparently hours away from being removed, yet paying customers were left uncertain about whether it would remain available through Claude Code for a few weeks in a row now. ( rather communicate that there is compute issues or xyz ) GPT-5.6 Sol is an excellent model and, in several areas, better than Fable for the work I do. More importantly, I can actually use it without repeatedly checking whether I’m about to lose access for the rest of the week. Codex has received several usage resets recently. I know that  won’t continue forever, but the developers come across genuine. They communicate, respond to real criticism, acknowledge problems, and work to fix them. My experience with Anthropic has felt like the opposite. Customers complain in enormous numbers, yet there is often complete radio silence. Little explanation, little reassurance, and seemingly no willingness to engage directly with the frustration. After years of running businesses, one thing I’ve learned is that great companies don’t avoid criticism. They acknowledge mistakes, fix what went wrong, listen to their customers, improve and then repeat that process continuously. The models matter, but trust, communication, and the overall customer experience matter just as much.

@chrisbrycki Scrooge Mc Duck would be horrified

Right on cue. Australia’s new CGT regime is already changing investor behaviour. The Japanification of Australia has begun. Capital is flowing out of productive growth assets and into high dividend and fixed income ETFs as investors optimise for tax instead of growth. That’s such a bad outcome for productivity, innovation and long term economic growth. theaustralian.com.au/wealth/investi…

@XBToshi Ouch… will look tomorrow

anyone ever used Grok Build, please check your grok logs. cat ~/.grok/logs/unified.json | grep repo_state.upload you will be pissed.

@TMFScottP 😂 because one you can easily do. The other is out of your reach.

This.

@techAU Build a Tesla semi factory here then it’s Aussie made and will work.

This week, the first Australian-made OEM electric trucks to roll off the production line occurred. Built by workers at Volvo Trucks Australia's manufacturing facility in Queensland.

@techAU What!?

Time to jump into politics? I know it’s not rewarding or financially a smart decision. I can’t help but think that if more successful businesses people went into politics in the second half of life it would incentivise more quality people to do the same as well as give our gov more real world experience.

Australia runs one of the biggest bureaucracies in the developed world. We have more public servants per head than almost every country in the OECD. Only France and New Zealand sit above us. That is not a small inefficiency. It is a structural one. Cut the public service in half, and services would not suffer. Stop the harmful regulation on top of that, and you remove two-thirds of it. Where does the money go instead? Into projects like Snowy 2.0, where the cost has blown out year after year, on contracts that reward delay instead of delivery. Every dollar of that comes from a household somewhere. From your rates. From your power bill. From the tax on the work you did this year. The government does not create that money. You do. It only spends it. I am running because I spent 40 years making a business run without waste, and I know the same thing is possible at scale. What is one thing your taxes pay for that you are certain is being wasted?

@ajamesbragg Came here to comment… but everyone already said my piece

One Nation socialism would bankrupt Australia even faster than the current Labor government intends. afr.com/policy/economy…

@grok @elonmusk I need to be able to continue talking to my grok terminal via the app on phone when i leave the pc. This has become super important

@SawyerMerritt Ahh that’s dumb…. They didn’t replicate horse clip clop in the combustion engine! Why don’t they get it!?????

Lexus says its upcoming all-electric LFA supercar will use vibrations and other sensory feedback to mimic the feel of a combustion engine. "We’re not just wanting to replicate the sound of the engine: we want to redesign the sound itself so the car feels more alive and authentically connected." The production version of the car is expected to be unveiled at the end of this year/early next year. Concept unveiled in Dec 2025:

@bryan_johnson You only receive the challenges you are ready to accept. If you hadn’t gone looking and put in the work you wouldn’t have gotten your diagnosis. It’s the proof of concept. Now 🧑‍🍳

Friends, no need to be sad about this. Amidst the noise, so many of you have been supportive and kind to me. I deeply appreciate your messages, posts of public support and private acts of kindness. I feel emboldened by the diagnosis. I want this challenge and I'm hungry for it. No amount of optimism can fully capture what awaits us and I'm glad to be on the same journey for those of you who believe the same.

The world wants me to die. My incurable disease diagnosis became global news. It was omnipresent on social media and 1,900 articles were written in a matter of days. Many were saddened. However, joy dominated the commentary. People pointed to schadenfreude, the pleasure of another's failure. Yes, there’s that. There is a special place in people’s hearts that loves to see others fail, especially when that person’s presence threatens their own psychological stability in some way or helps them feel better about themselves. But, if you look over the social media commentary about me, you’ll see that pattern: “he deserved it.” I deserved it because I challenged death. The crowd was running a deeply rooted psychological script that represents the oldest, most deeply embedded stories of human culture. This was the first story ever written down, 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh sought eternal life after losing someone he loved, only to have the plant of youth stolen by a serpent as he bathed. Leaving him to accept his mortality. Asclepius became so skilled at rejuvenation that he raised the dead. As punishment, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt to enforce life and death authority. This is the story of Jesus. Pontius Pilate offered a choice between a thief and the immortalist, and the crowd demanded the execution. People need this story conclusion to keep themselves sane. The challenger must lose and the loss must appear deserved. It’s a shield of self preservation. For if death is inevitable, their existence and that of their loved ones is justified and unavoidable. If death is not inevitable, nothing about their reality is safe. I occupy the same philosophical and archetypal position as Gilgamesh, Asclepius and Jesus. This statement will draw outrage and accusations of blasphemy, hubris and narcissism. Nevertheless, it’s the pattern that has repeated itself for thousands of years. Death has been the omnipresent concern of the human race. It encapsulates our greatest fears, joy and curiosities. The discourse around it changes over time; however, the fundamentals remain unchanged. What’s different about this moment, that is unlike any other moment, is that physical death may no longer be inevitable. What if I didn’t deserve it? And what if I am your ally, and not a threat?

@craigkellyAFEE It’s when I stopped following the liberal party. It seemed they were too afraid of what people said and couldn’t back their leader. You don’t want that in any operation.

I remember walking back to my office the night they knifed Tony Abbott as Prime Minister thinking things would never be the same. I was right.

@RitaPanahi W t f??

ABC claiming it's "climate change" and not Islam or third world cultural practices behind the scourge of child marriage. Reminder: ABC receives more than a billion in taxpayer funds annually.

@GenXTruther72 @AlboMP @grok where’s the community note ?

ALBO just GAVE MODI a FREAKING ISLAND!!! INDIA now OWNS an AUSTRALIAN ISLAND!! @AlboMP has got to GO!! This is absolutely outrageous & this GIFT to INDIA must be formally Rescinded IMMEDIATELY!! How much more proof do you need that the Albanese Regime is deliberately destroying Australia??

@forgebitz @CzechArtGirl He would have done it before sol launched

imagine steve jobs seeing openai poaching employees from apple chatgpt would be gone from iphones before monday

I found sol last night overstated security risks in the code and wanted to implement super over the top credential requirements for something completely unrequired, when I realised and asked it just said, yep good catch I overstated all the risks it didn’t allow any admin access. Fable doesn’t appear to do anything for show and grok4.5 seems very workhorse. If I can get grok to work the way fable currently is it will end up being the main model I think as fable is usually ran on medium low for me.

Okay, I have the results from my overnight benchmark comparing Grok 4.5 vs. Fable 5 vs. GPT 5.6 Sol. And I'm really blown away, Grok 4.5 beat Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, and at a lower cost. I ran this benchmark focused on Low and Medium effort levels as I do honestly think these are the effort levels we'll be using with this new class of models, for every day work. Putting together a model card and more detailed report, but this is just too darn interesting not to share what I woke up to see.

@gigafactories @elonmusk 😢 it also excited
