Is Australia resigned to a "dig & hold" economy? Dig resources out the ground and hold simple low-growth, dividend-producing assets.

Australia is shaking down big tech.
The government’s new News Bargaining Incentive is a masterclass in cynicism. "Voluntarily" pay local media, or we’ll seize 2% of your total revenue.
The best part? It applies even if you don't carry the news.
It’s not a tax, it’s a targeted shakedown for the mainstream media's benefit.

"It’s a kind of technology that grabs you by the lapels and says that you’re in the future"
Self driving is the first technology in quite awhile that the average person just doesn’t quite believe exists
It’s strange, because you can hire a car without a driver right now.
But the proverbial “man in the street” is still shocked by it
We’ve grown jaded to most tech progress the past 20 years. Self driving cars won’t be like that. It’s a kind of technology that grabs you by the lapels and says that you’re in the future

Exponential scaling ongoing – @Waymo has officially doubled our fully autonomous cities in a matter of weeks, reaching 10 cities with the newest additions of San Antonio and Orlando. This is a testament to the maturity and generalizability of the Waymo Driver, our deliberate, safety-first approach to scaling, and an important step as we prepare to serve more riders across more cities soon.

Waymo's system, fueled by careful collection of a large volume of fully autonomous data, is the most advanced, large-scale application of embodied AI today. Very proud to see this level of engineering rigor tackling safe autonomous driving making the roads safer for everyone (and it has been nice to see various Google research collaborations with Waymo be a part of these advances!).
The insights here are foundational for how we design and safely scale all complex AI systems.

Thanks for hosting me!
📣 This week’s episode is a big one!
🎙️ We’ve got @waymo’s Engineering Director Nick Pelly on the show talking all about robotaxis.
🚗 @waymo recently announced their expansion into London so this couldn’t be better timed for our UK listeners.

Now beginning to offer fully autonomous freeways rides in SF, LA, and PHX! Express interest in the Waymo app to be one of the first in the world to relax on freeways with no one behind the wheel. More about this and our SF Bay Area expansion at waymo.com/blog/2025/11/takin…

We're excited to join the Tokyo community with our first kilometers on international roads! After months of collaboration, Waymo, @Nihonkotsu_Taxi, and @go_goesnext will begin mapping streets using our manually-driven cars with Waymo technology across 7 Tokyo wards soon.

They actually did it. Boom is officially the first independently developed supersonic jet.
Next level
Providing a safe, reliable and efficient service for our riders is key to our future success. 🤖🚘🛣️
We’ll soon begin testing of our rider-only operations without a human driver on freeways in Phoenix. See how we’re safely approaching this next step: waymo.com/blog/2024/01/from-…
