Orlando Bravo: "The SaaSpocalypse is over... AI is an enormous, enormous tailwind for software companies... I was here last year at Super Return, and I think one of the LLM leaders made a comment that by this year, 50% of all white-collar jobs are going to be gone. And somebody in private equity made a comment that 50% of the people in this conference wouldn't have a job by next year. And look at the conference. You even had security outside. There's more people here than ever before... Our companies, 60% of the code that they write is machine-generated. But our number of developers, we have 20,000 of them, they're going up because now they can be a lot more productive."

Hey Games Workshop (@warhammer). Quick product suggestion. Keep codex codes the same in 11th edition, but when you buy your 3rd (or 4th) codex it unlocks all others. Most people only buy a few, but this way you can raise sales to get everyone to 3-4.

[Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin @jasonlk]

.@Benioff's somewhat contrarian take on AI budgets:

👉"If you have a standalone 'AI budget,' you're doing AI wrong."

After 2+ years of GenAI hype, most companies have still failed with AI initiatives. Why? They're treating AI as a separate technology project instead of embedding it into line-of-business accountability.

Real example: RBS had incredible AI team + PhD researchers but wasn't getting value. Breakthrough came when they stopped funding "AI projects" and started holding their wealth management and call center teams accountable for AI-driven business outcomes.

Marc's insight: AI budgets should live where the impact happens—sales teams measured on AI productivity gains, service teams on efficiency improvements, ops teams on cost reductions.

Standalone AI budgets = no business accountability = science experiments that go nowhere.

Winners embed AI so deep into operations it becomes invisible infrastructure for superior performance.

The great AI budget migration is underway.

My wife and I did IVF it’s the only way we were able to have a child. Legit evil to blow a fertility clinic up , I can’t imagine how terrible it would be to wake up and hear your family you’ve been planning and spent tens of thousands of dollars on has been killed by some asshole

Labor promised before the election to remove 9,500 poker machines by 2028. Instead the number has increased!

In budget estimates today we discovered that the Treasurer has been telling porkies on pokies 🐷 🎰
