@Geiger_Capital 🎯

It’s not just illegal migration - they run mass legal migration for some fucking reason.

@cmkusher Most people consider low population density to be a luxury. Therefore high population objectively worse.

Also why every poll ever taken shows ‘Big Australia’ is a deeply unpopular idea.

Only people that like the idea is the tax office.

@pmarca DeepSeek is so cheap for mindless agentic tasks (invoice processing etc.) and very good at instruction following.

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@AvidCommentator Makes sense, they are economically disadvantaged by mass migration (they squarely fit into the renter/wage earner category).

Mass migration negatively affects recent arrivals (more competition for jobs and housing - they are economically better off with no migration)

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@Altimor Yeah deep seek is surprisingly good. I have my clients on flash - works so good for my use case, so cheap it’s practically free.

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@AvidCommentator For many demographics it objectively is a net negative. Especially young people (lower wages, higher housing costs).

It’s not about the past, it’s about this moment in time, and in this moment in time, we have mass scale migration which is negatively effecting young Australians.

@kirawontmiss It was literally 15 years of that.

I hope we have seen the end of it.

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@DrCameronMurray Doesn't Sydney have the highest house price to income in the world after hong kong?

How do you square that neatly into your world view?

Or are you joking and I have missed the joke?

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@bluecatsarah @WingsScotland I mean how could you argue with migration causing housing shortages? That is an economic fact. Like saying water is wet.

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@DrCameronMurray 💯

Migrants aren’t the problem, mass migration is the problem. The economic effects a ginormous. Lower wages, higher housing costs, leading to a birth rate well well below replacement.

Leading to extinction of the existing population. As is currently happening.

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@pmarca No way, we will see strong divergence in the way people use AI, based on their IQ

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@matt_barrie @TheKouk House price to income was 30% lower
Birthrate was 30% higher

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@mcuban Government won’t stop at ‘not a lot’ they will increase as much as they possibly can. Then it will too expensive to use. But the government will be tax exempt, and then the government will have a monopoly on AI. Which isn’t what we want.

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@JasonBud Excellent that you are releasing it - why did it take so long?

You can literally get an agent harness for free (opencode) and it is provider agnostic.

Also did you use opencode as a base to build it off?

What is different about GB?

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@elonmusk Finally! You guys are 12 months late to this.

Better late than never.

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@pmarca Yeah but your generation also has sorta lead the charge for things like a man can be a woman and all that. So you didn’t exactly turn out normal.

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@gabriel1 Coffeeeeeeee

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@vasuman I can get started for you in Australia- I’m already doing AI deployment

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@vasuman Are you hiring in Australia?

[Tom @Trader_tom_]

@waitbutwhy In no way is blue the correct answer. There is no moral high round to pressing blue. Blue is the button for people that didn’t think about the question.
