Seeking Treasurer's Help to Prevent Economic Malaise
We are very much looking forward to engagement with the Treasurer to ensure the Australian economy isn't hit with years of malaise and falling productivity as an unintended consequence of trying to address the property crisis.
Proposed CGT Threatens Startup Equity Compensation Model
Few things close the gap between labor and management/capital than access to equity ownership of what you yourself help build. Proposed #CGT changes basically erase the equity-based compensation system that makes #startups thrive internationally.
Fairness Demands Ending Retiree Tax Breaks, Taxing Super Like Wages
If we want intergenerational fairness (something I've long advocated) why don't we preserve tax concessions for working age people and totally remove them for superannuants, plus charge tax on super earnings/withdrawals commensurate with marginal rates on wage earners?

Limit Negative Gearing to Boost Young Homeownership

Performance to Deployment: Path for Real-World Quantum Computing
This is how you actually get #quantumcomputing into the real world. Performance enables abstraction. Abstraction enables virtualization. Virtualization enables deployment. Let's go! @qctrlHQ ❌ @nvidia
Language Models Unsuitable for Autonomous Vehicle Decision-Making
Autonomous vehicles don't use LLMs either because language is the wrong model for the task. Stands to reason language isn't right for a whole host of things (e.g. maybe reasoning too)
Quantum Control Engineer Excited by Classical AI Advances
As a quantum control engineer focused on ML and robust control, this new direction in classical AI is really thrilling
AI Adoption Needs Nuance, Not All‑or‑nothing Choices
FFS why are the only options with the adoption of #AI being a Luddite or outsourcing your brain entirely? Why can't there be nuance? A recognition it's awesome for some things, terrible for others, and actually harmful for some.
