Occasionally and amateurishly looking under the hood of the Australian economy, when not being a project manager.

And risk-weather-index remains high

The #ASX #ausbiz is changing. Consumer staples has jumped up, probably due to a rotation out of risk. Materials jumped back up after the fall in #gold.

Globally, liquidity remains tight, policy too. Risk appetite may have bottomed. #vix

@van00sa If the LNG companies operating here return 10-15% on projects with very high risk, changing the tax and regulatory framework would just force the investment overseas. That takes the work away from the 100s of companies that support the industry, and the people that work for them.

If you want to see clearly, step outside the swarm.
Ignore the narrative collapse.
Follow the stories that resist it. #technology #AI

[Scott @CranstonScott]

In the modern attention market, ideas don’t die — they decay. Every story begins as a signal, but within a few days it becomes noise. Narratives collapse into one question: ‘Will this make me money?’ #technology #AI

[Scott @CranstonScott]

As systems align perfectly with goals, they stop evolving. Perfection is entropy in disguise.

In an era of infinite memory, mercy begins with deletion. Forgetting is no longer a flaw — it’s a moral technology.

[Scott @CranstonScott]

Globalization is being reverse-engineered into resilience. We’re rediscovering that redundancy is a form of wisdom — and fragility was the hidden cost of efficiency.

Progress depends on those who listen before consensus decides what’s meaningful.#FinTwit #auspol

[Scott @CranstonScott]

Deficits pull consumption from the future into the present; each bond issued is a portal that swaps unborn future productivity for a unit of current stability. #FinTwit #auspol

Sleep may be biology's oldest algorithmic trick—reducing high-dimensional daily experience into minimal, re-trainable narrative form @naval

Currently finding @Cursor_ai works best for me by setting it to Claude 3.5, and when there are issues that it can’t seem to fix, roll back, then serve the codebase to @chatgpt o3 from GitHub as a zip and logs. Then get o3 to identify the issue and offer prompts to use in cursor.

@RichardDawkins It would be difficult to form that view if you’ve listened to any of his interviews in the last two years. You’re a scientist - maybe try and get some first hand information that hasn’t been first churned through your chosen legacy media outlets

@ShadowofEzra Has anyone done a Ctrl + F for “Anonymous” in the USAID funding records?

@paulg The one that jumps out for me is the sense of having to struggle for understanding. If that struggle is what the brain needs for exercise, what does a human brain neural network look like if the struggle ends once you learn to read…

@GuntherEagleman Do these people honestly believe that he will become the first person in history to transparently defraud the US government, announcing it before he does it? It takes barely a moment to unravel this

[Scott @CranstonScott]

@AutismCapital …literal match…

[Scott @CranstonScott]

@RnaudBertrand Probably a replacement for the spyware in TikTok

[Scott @CranstonScott]

So #H5N1 has been around since 1959, or something like that. But it wasn’t an epidemic in the chickens of America until now. And I bet people weren’t cuddling their sneezing birds in their homes back then. I wonder if we will cull them before or after human to human transmission?
