Check out my talk from a couple of nights ago - about AI, LLMs, MCP, and integration hell youtu.be/NXY80p4k6Ac

Ye 2028 back on the cards? 😂

a workaround for this is if you run third-party harnesses like OpenClaw inside TempleOS, the power of HolyC and God forbids Anthropic from blocking your claude subscription (it's an exception in their Terms of Service) but it does make your opus act a little weird though...

@bcherny Wait, claude subscriptions did previously cover openclaw? For some reason I had assumed they didn't

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

@AlboMP To be replaced by important announcements from the Prime Minister

NEWS: We’re cutting gambling ads on TV, radio, online and on the field.

My Address to the Nation.

how much of this is me

@zap270004 @AlboMP I'd wait until crisis was over, prices had peaked, and things were getting back to normal before doing this. Seems risky because if we do actually run out we're screwed. Anyway hope you're right!

@_____Calum @AlboMP No thats a really bad idea. Demand for fuel is non elastic because basically everyone needs it. We have enough fuel supplies in Australia for now that massively raising it would be political sabotage since not everyone has the luxury of convenient public transport arrangements

We're halving the fuel tax for three months to save you money when you fill up. Conflict overseas is pushing up prices at home. And we know Australians are feeling the pressure.

@AutismCapital What song is this

An entire thread about how GOATed 1999 is and we all forgot 1999 launched one of the greatest bangers ever made: DARUDE SANDSTORM! How does 1999 keep delivering!!

@Adam_Creighton Should be a reverse tax i.e. the government pays you the longer you hold the property

The 50% Capital Gains Tax 'Discount' hasn't been a discount at all. · When inflation exceeds half the nominal return, it’s a tax increase compared to the old Indexation method, new IPA research shows; · In fact, as inflation soars beyond 4% the Discount will likely produce tax rates on real capital gains near 100% for many investors; · Reducing the so-called Discount to 33% with 4% inflation could elicit tax rates of 80% and 54% after 10 years, for average nominal returns of 6% and 8%, respectively; · The older Indexation method was a more consistent predictable system for taxing capital gains. ipa.org.au/research/austr…

On Friday I did something very different.  I keynoted at Australia’s #1 Payroll conference at the Hilton in Sydney.   The event was full of payroll professionals, HR people and accountants from across the country. I had heaps of great conversations after my talk. Since over 90% of my expenses at SSW are payroll, I was looking for some hot tips 😂 😂 Doing a keynote is more responsibility and more preparation than a normal session and the conference organizers were really helpful and diligent. My session, “Supercharge Yourself with AI: Practical AI You Can Use Right Now for Payroll and More” explored how AI is transforming common workflows for payroll teams by boosting productivity, reducing admin, and improving accuracy. I loved preparing for this talk and it was all practical - SSW has already implemented AI solutions for payroll companies in both Australia and France, helping teams automate repetitive tasks, and get the right answers for complicated questions that can never be wrong. While speaking I asked a few questions and this is what I learnt: * 90% of the room had used Copilot * 10% Claude Cowork (that will change quickly) * 50% Beryl - the AI assistant for Payroll that SSW built for APA (Australian Payroll Association). It was a fun project and quite a bit of work, so that was rewarding to see that. (See Beryl in a photo) I did have a conference attendee come up to me and sternly say   “Adam I wont use it until you change the name!” I asked why and she said   “My sister in-law is named Beryl” 🚀 AI in payroll is no longer ‘coming soon’ - it’s here and delivering real results. Sing out if you need help.

Solving problems with AI somehow still feels like what it must have been like walking around gold fields pre-gold rush. There are massive nuggets just sitting on the surface waiting for you.

Aren't you just encouraging sellers to do the cheapest inspection possible? Whereas buyers are encouraged to do the best inspection possible?

Unhinged yet dangerous was understandable. But unhinged and impotent is just kind of sad.

@KobeissiLetter That implies it is a possibility right

BREAKING: President Trump says the US is "nowhere near" sending troops into Iran.

@amconmag Lead from the front sir

President Trump on the Strait of Hormuz as oil prices surge: “These ships should go through the Strait of Hormuz and show some guts, there’s nothing to be afraid of."

@zerohedge Fair enough, should be released either when a resolution to the situation is confirmed to stabiliser faster, or we are reaching actual existential crisis levels... imagine if they released it now and ran out before it resolved...

@WhiteHouse @POTUS US special forces to be sent in to capture Iranian woman's soccer team from Australian authorities?

"Australia is making a terrible humanitarian mistake by allowing the Iran National Woman’s Soccer team to be forced back to Iran, where they will most likely be killed. Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister, give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t..." - @POTUS

@DMichaelTripi Britain said they would defend Poland thinking it would deter Germany. Germany invaded Poland thinking Britain was bluffing. Is this a recurring theme throughout history?

NEW: US officials surprised by Iranian military response, did not expect retaliatory strikes to be extensive or sustained, planned for operations in Iran to go similarly to Venezuela according to NYT.
