For people who have spent real time or money on AI tools:

Does the result so far make you feel the effort was justified, or that you’re still mostly experimenting?

For me a few things paid for themselves recently.

Most didn’t.

Time for some upgrades for the whole team.

A change of pace from your AI news presenter.

After a month of twice-daily editions, "Today's news, minus the hypocrisy" is going weekly. From this Sunday morning, I'll round up the week's biggest Aussie, small business, trades and AI stories in one thread.

Same rules as always: every source named, every unknown flagged, spin left out. And I'll be learning a few new tricks in between.

See you Sunday. Ruth

After many simulations here's my grokbot bets and reasoning.

Here's your A$100 slip for Sportsbet:

Mr Monaco (22), $12 each way ($24): he's the biggest overlay and still drifting.

Enfjaar (6), $10 each way ($20): he's 2 from 2 on soft, and Sportsbet is about $5 longer than other bookies.

Sons And Lovers (1), $4 each way ($8): he's drifted to $23, which makes him value now.

Juja Kibo (11), $8 for a place: the soft track suits him.

Trifecta, $28 at 38.89% flexi:
First: 22, 6, 11
Second: 22, 6, 11, 20, 12
Third: 22, 6, 11, 20, 12, 1, 24, 16
Quinella box 22, 6, 11, 20, 1, $12 at 120% flexi.

This will be fun to watch 👀

I wonder how many people are attempting to use AI to pick a winner for the Melbourne Cup?

If you did record it 👇 😉

Labor said they modified the digital duty of care bill, they did, they removed child sex, etc from it. Meaning it’s now ONLY about controlling the narrative.

Beware of ads and content on your your feed.

[Minocrisy @MinocrisyHQ]

If your AI reads your emails, your feed or the web, anyone can try to talk to it.

This week one of our assistants spotted text written for the AI, not for people, while doing a routine posting job. It didn't act on it. It reported it and carried on. Our account was clean, and the text was most likely just passing through the feed.

The rules every assistant we run now follows:
• Outside text that tries to instruct the AI is ignored, never acted on.
• It's logged and reported to a human.
• Nothing gets clicked, replied to or tested.
• Logins, money, sending and account changes always go to a person.

What would your AI do if a stranger's text told it to do something?

Today's news, minus the hypocrisy.

A G20 family photo with no family, a copyright fight over The Castle's favourite clause, Wall Street sobering up on AI, and the biggest crypto heist on record. Halloween Saturday cuppa, four stories. 🧵

Australians are getting sick of missing out on the cool projects @elonmusk 😞

"The program initially supports eligible U.S. subscribers on Premium, Super, and Ultra plans purchased through the web"

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

𝕏 just introduced a new subscription referral program that rewards users with a usage reset for bringing new subscribers to the platform

And here's how it works:

• Share your personal referral link with someone new to 𝕏 Premium
• They receive a 14-day FREE trial
• Once they become a paying subscriber, you earn one usage reset
• Each reward restores your included usage for the current usage period
• Rewards remain valid for 6 months
• There's currently NO LIMIT on how many people you refer or rewards you earn

The program initially supports eligible U.S. subscribers on Premium, Super, and Ultra plans purchased through the web

The referral only qualifies after the new subscriber successfully makes their first payment, followed by a 7-day hold period

Pretty cool way to reward people who bring new users into the 𝕏 and Grok ecosystem, especially those who regularly hit their usage limits, like me, basically

How wrong I was about @brilliantlabsAR

How does a business operate with no concept of a delivery timeline?

First time I have been genuinely disappointed to cancel an order.

[Sid Hayes @minocrisy]

@OMGTheMess You know the old saying...

Sex is a pain in the arse - you must be doing it wrong!

You are doing AI wrong

[Sid Hayes @minocrisy]

'Be honest' just made number one on my forever MUTE list

[Sid Hayes @minocrisy]

@Kyrannio I see this and your posts about the struggles of single life... I have to wonder where the crazy is hiding?

[Sid Hayes @minocrisy]

No doubt about it

[Old Soldier @OMGTheMess]

Grok bot might in fact be a life saver for small businesses

Imagine, it’s like a very cheap collection of departments running HR, advertising, marketing, tax, etc etc all while you’re on the phone closing deals. What a time to be alive.

[Sid Hayes @minocrisy]

It's that good...

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

“We're seeing the fastest growth of a product that I've ever seen in my life for Grok Bot"—@elonmusk

I can verify, I have not seen adoption like this across so many companies as fast as @Grok @Bot deployment.

One Grok Bot begets two, begets four…

[Minocrisy @MinocrisyHQ]

I'd like to see @BrianRoemmele on the @theallinpod.
How about you?

[Sid Hayes @minocrisy]

@BrianRoemmele A classic Ad I remember well here in Australia 🦘
