@Not4Dmver @walterkirn LA mayoral race.

@manhhung_ai @noam_dworman @tylercowen Very high level. Crude summary: life and economy will be better at some point. But the transition is a bitch!

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@walterkirn Isn’t it arguably the opposite?

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@walterkirn Big fan of you as a writer. The “you will see” fragments you put out on this platform, have all the vibe of a writer/cat playing with audiences like a spool of twine. I’m conflicted between the “playfulness” exhibited vs the manipulation and motivation. 🤔:)

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@clairlemon @daveyk317 Yep! It’s stunning how anti entrepreneurial Aus culture is becoming. And just at a time - AI labour disruption - when the opposite is desperately needed.

@TobiSkovron @Quartermain10 I’m 61 and feel same. Not old and certainly not disconnected. :) My issue is with the 30 yrs mandate you proffer. It does not reflect the real world mix of who ans whst creates value.

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@TobiSkovron @Quartermain10 Agree we need more business savvy in Aus politics. But 30 yrs requirement is ol timey thinking. The radical shift in perspective we need is not “more tenured” business leaders but more globally experienced, tech savvy and ambitious.

@ProfSteveKeen I don’t think “honest” means what you think it does. 😉

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@matt_barrie But Matt …they’re monitoring … “even the dark web!” 😱. These guys are “on it!”

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@r0ck3t23 I’d love to hear what you think without AI doing the prose for you. 🙏

@mtaibbi Curtis Yarvin always reads like the unfunny long form version of Tatiana McGrath.

@FootnotesGuy Where were any of them in the last five years? Crickets and conformity!

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@BillAckman Whatever happened to “hi” - and just winging it from there?

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@ausvstheagenda Is the US not multicultural?

@ProfRoyGreen 👍 Fab photo

@matt_barrie Ive often observed that Sam Altman presents as unflappable. But he seemed very triggered in recent BG2 podcast when Brad Gerstner had the audacity to ask him how a 13 billion company could commit to spending 1.3 trillion. Was tense interaction. :)

@MelbourneGeek @matt_barrie Would love to read that speech. Is there a transcript I could access?

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@walterkirn Yes love this book. Bligh it for my kids many years ago. A little gem.

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@p_m_robinson @nfergus @VDHanson A cracker of a conversation. More please.

[Sandy Plunkett @splunk2]

@matt_barrie That’s what I keep asking!
