Did Apple hire an artist to make this under the assumption he wouldn't use AI? Signing your name to something with obvious low-craft AI artifacts is crazy business

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

Coal isn’t coming back and it’s really dumb to want it to. We have way better energy technologies now: solar, nuclear, geothermal, batteries, etc We should deploy those instead.

Every wondered how many guns are in your suburb? We have built a tool that shows registered firearms by postcode across NSW. https://t.co/IbimDJzZSG Having access to data can help us all understand how our gun laws are actually working (or failing to work!)

When I first wrote that Donald Trump was a Russian asset—nearly ten years ago—I meant it literally. Not as hyperbole. Not as a metaphor. They own him.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I

@elonmusk I think you should consider that making X a global totem pole for Free Speech, and then turning it into a death star laser for coordinated hate sessions, is actually harmful for the cause of free speech. I'm seriously worried that huge backlashes against values I hold

Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵

Air pollution from cars kills more people each year than the road toll. Australia needs legislated clean air standards. The govt wouldn’t agree to include them in the environmental laws passed last week. I’ll keep trying - they’ll save lives.

how can life there be so good but they don't have as many billionaires?
why is it that vacationing in Europe is so amazing, and yet, the largest company in Europe is 10% the size of NVIDIA. https://t.co/U40WM413Qr

My offer to the government: pay me £700m and I'll cancel my Scotland fishing trip this year. Same outcome.
Britain needs nuclear power. Our nuclear projects are the most expensive in the world and among the slowest. Regulators and industry are paralysed by risk aversion. This can change. For Britain to prosper, it must. Earlier this year, the Prime Minister appointed me to lead a

SpaceX’s founding story is 2002 Elon calculating all the commodity prices of the steel, carbon fibre, propellant, etc for building a rocket and realising they only made up 2% of the price. He noticed the capacity for 50x cost savings and went on to realise them. I’ve ran similar
