Thank you to RMIT University for having our CEO Jess Renden on yesterday’s panel. A fantastic and insightful conversation that explored how AI, digital assets, finance, and emerging technology are reshaping industries and business models. It was great to have an in-depth discussion about careers in the Digital Assets space, what these changes could mean for students, and how they can think about their futures in an ever-evolving industry. Thanks to the panellists, organisers, and everyone who joined the conversation. It's always a pleasure to engage with the next generation of professionals.

When Claude comes to me with a wall of text like “I smoke-verified the config-guarded ‘one authority per tibble‘ materialization core (clean), but the metadata-bearing patches (no-op) are spec-shaped—and that’s a call that’s genuinely yours.”

Coding with agents now feels like practicing magic - you chant prompts like spells and hope the right reality manifests

for me the odds that AI is a bubble declined significantly in the last 3 weeks and the odds that we’re actually quite under-built for the necessary levels of inference/usage went significantly up in that period basically I think AI is going to become the home screen of a ludicrously high percentage of white collar workers in the next two years and parallel agents will be deployed in the battlefield of knowledge work at downright Soviet levels

A lot of findings in this new paper, but one is the inevitable doom of traditional peer review: 1) AI creates a flood of papers, good & bad 2) Paper complexity, a screen and signal of quality for human work, is a signal of low quality for AI There's no plan for what comes next.

If academics 20 years ago hadn’t joined the crusade against Google Books, then academics today would revere Google Books as a sacred academic resource
