Life is just a long line of experiences and relationships. We should do more of that.

Can we have a proper conversation about Superannuation in this country yet? What’s the purpose of it. Is it achieving it? Not sure the short term costs of struggling Australians having $100s of $1000s locked in an investment account while paying 5-7% interest on a $700k home they

I’m amazed by the crazy duopoly of timelines on the internet I see right now. 1. AI is nothing more than clever tech that really hasn’t achieved much and probably won’t for decades. 2. AGI might be here tomorrow but if it’s not by end of week I’m gonna lose my mind.

AI is a tool. Currently, it doesn’t handle a few types of questions well. It doesn’t handle riddles all that well that have been tweaked to be variants of well known problems in training data. It doesn’t do some math well. It will lie if it doesn’t know the answer. It will get

There’s a cross-section of people who complain about people having a blue check, and the number of ads/algorithm. There’s only one way to stop being the product. Think about it.

Trust for government and the media is exceptionally low at the moment. It would really help their cause if they stopped outright lying on multiple issues daily. We live in a world with 8 billion potential reporters. You can’t hide the truth any more. It will come out. So just be

If you’re grappling with the problem of how do you detect AI plagiarism in education, you’re probably grappling with the wrong problem. #ai #plagiarism #futureofeducation

People are missing the forest for the trees with the current A.I. debate about whether AGI has been achieved or not. It fundamentally does not matter whether an arbitrary definition has been met. What has been achieved, is the development of a tool that supercharges the ability

When the actions of others don’t make sense, follow the incentives. First, find out what they want so badly they will compromise on their beliefs for it (money, power, fame), and then find out the source providing it. You will soon make sense of their actions.

We’re fast approaching a dead internet. Almost daily, there’s a world stopping event happening. There’s video footage, eye witness accounts, images and more. And nobody stops. I remember 9/11. I remember the Bali bombing. I remember the Boston bombing. I remember Bourke St mall

When do we start the conversation about the % of work that’s done in western society that isn’t actually improving or managing improvements to society? How much wasted productivity and potential currently exists in our system?

The problem with work from home is bad management. Trump signed an EO to mandate all Government employees return to the office and I think it’s a mistake. Firstly, the notion of fairness makes sense, I guess, at least on the surface. But the ability to work from home vs

I find it strange Cricket Australia would say this is the first time Kuhnemann’s action has been questioned. The question has come up every time I’ve watched him play. Hopefully it’s fine. But his wind up occurs with a bent arm and straightens very late. May just be an optics thing but

A major nuclear power bombs nuclear facilities of a significant ally to major nuclear powers - and the world is still posting dance TikTok’s? There is a greater than zero chance that our world could look irreparably different in a week. I don’t want to be doom and gloom but

We get in the weeds talking about housing affordability - but whether it’s a problem to me really comes down to one simple question. Whats the average increase in housing prices vs the increase in wages since say, 1970. If wages are less than housing, it’s getting harder under

How long before people clue onto the fact that AGI doesn’t matter? That it helps their cause for us to argue it’s not yet AGI?

Andrew Bourne (@a2bourne) 's Twitter Profile Photo

I don’t care about AGI. Neither should you. It’s the most vague, meaningless conversation we could be having. I care about technological advancement. I care about practical applications. I care about impact. AGI is not meaningful for two reasons. It’s an arbitrary definition.

What if… Trump never really met Putin for peace in Ukraine. What if he met Putin because he’s on board with BRICS negotiations. What if he’s on board with the multi-polarity. What if he’s on board with using the current chaos and turmoil to drive a wedge between the U.S. and

Posting into the void is a weird feeling. It’s therapeutic in a way. A sort of digital record of your thoughts at a point in time in your life, yet mildly scary knowing you might feel completely different in 5 years time but be held accountable to a previous position. It’s
