@elonmusk It’s actually Christianity which gave the grounds for ridiculous prosperity, scientific advances, emancipation of slaves, logic, the enlightenment, the reformation, feminism, and even allowed atheism to be a thing. Freedom to fully express yourself. That’s the headline…
@DrewPavlou Not a private market, it’s a managed market. It’s a social insurance scheme. A real private market wouldn’t be open to these shitty schemes. The best thing to do is offer a basic public service and take government money away from private services altogether
@kimmonismus It’s not that good still. Uncanny valley on the face especially when it makes him look like a cartoon character. Seedance can probably do a better job though
@DrewPavlou There is currently no incentive for the career politicians to do any of what you suggest. The government has to have accountability to the people for this to work
NSW data centre demand will hit 11% of state electricity by 2030. The US is building nuclear plants for AI. We either provide the baseload power or get locked out of the AI economy. @Aboreal@Bowenchris
@AngusJTaylorMP @DavidPocock
KEPCO builds 1.4GW reactors at $2,300-3,600/kW in 48 months. 30 reactors = $150-200B. 42GW = 330 TWh/year. Wholesale prices drop 60-70%. Manufacturing reindustrialises. $80-100B/year in new tax revenue. Pays for itself in under a decade. France proved it. @tedobrienmp
Australia's manufacturing is at 5% of GDP — lowest in the OECD. France built 58 nuclear reactors through a state-owned authority and has the cheapest industrial power in Europe. We need a Messmer Plan. 30 reactors. Sovereign authority. Public ownership. It pays for itself.
Petrol $2.20+. 600 dry servos. Victoria made PT free. And NSW is crushing alternative transport. Create a rego pathway. Let adults insure themselves. Regulate behaviour not wattage.
No comparable country crushes adults' e-bikes. Netherlands registers them. US allows up to 45 km/h. 25 km/h on a 50 km/h road means every car overtakes you dangerously. The law forces the most dangerous option.
Built a $1,177 e-bike. Panasonic cells, programmable speed limiter, quality Aussie parts. NSW law
says: crush it. Can't get insured even if I want to. No rego pathway. @jaborMLC @BicycleNSW@CatherineKingMP@BicycleNetwork@punterspolitix
600 dry servos. 36 days of fuel. Record prices at the pump. Meanwhile we export more gas than Qatar
and collect 20x less. Qatar gets $38B in royalties. We get $1.5B. Norway taxes at 78% and has a $3.25T
wealth fund. Our gas. Our loss. Write to your MP. @punterspolitix
Wrote to my federal MP, state MP, the NDIS Minister and the NDIA today about systemic NDIS provider fraud. Providers banned for fraud reopening under new names at the same address days later. $52B of taxpayer money deserves better oversight. @DrewPavlou@PeteZogoulas
@elonmusk there’s a huge amount of ai slop on my feed that I would like to render automatically less relevant and prioritise new things created by real people.
