Made another post on SubStack. Where does the money in AI accrue, and how can Australia get a piece of the pie. (Spoiler: not by building fabs)

They should introduce a complaints function in MyGov where you can dob on fellow citizens for minor social transgressions which aren't illegal but you feel the government should know about. Who is building this?
Because there are like 10 companies on earth with the concentration of capital and talent to be doing anything of consequence and the rest of your industry is various forms of distribution
Cluely “cheat on everything” Soham “lie & deceive” And now we have founders fabricating lies & chasing attention by any means nessesary is this what startups have become? just whoever can be the most controversial there used to be consequences for pulling shit like this,…
Long-time Down Round listeners will remember that Soham was actually our co-host for the first 47 episodes. Unfortunately, we learned he was also co-hosting at least a dozen other bitingly intelligent, witty tech podcasts simultaneously. So we killed him.
PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.
Would any of you join a $50,000 p.a. gentleman's club (gender neutral) where we drink sediment-heavy natural wines (BYO) and discuss go-to-market strategy for mid-market CRMs exclusively for other mid-market CRMs whose entire revenue model is passing around the same $1 million?
