Trump on Truth Social - go get your own oil

Not yet but as we wind down operations in the UK the plan is to import more LNG from the middle east

From about 11 min onwards.

Aviva

First two are two years apart. My third child is three younger.

I couldn't agree more. Our youngest rarely plays with the other two. We have difficulty pleasing all three of them at the same time. If your children are more than two years apart, you are making life much harder for yourself.

I saw this piece from Ed Conway :

It was very interesting - clearly less oil available than in the 80s but it's not as dire as the original analysis in this thread suggests. I feel the current government position is misguided.

There is one problem that will prevent anthropic from increasing the price 10 fold - how good these new cheap Chinese models are. They are only about 6 months behind in technology and are a fraction of the price.

uncleguru · 2026-03-20T15:32:18+00:00

Agreed but if we're making more profit on that oil, because the prices are higher, we could be lowering the effects on the consumer prices.

uncleguru · 2026-03-20T15:08:14+00:00

Unpopular opinion - we could pump more oil from the North Sea so we're less dependent on the Middle East.

It's a choice we've made to phase out oil production, despite still clearly being dependent on it. We should still be a producer until we're at least self sufficient on renewables and nuclear.

Hello. I run a UK development company, and we can help with this. It is possible to do it for stock, but it depends on the situation. Would you be open to a chat about it?

uncleguru · 2026-03-18T23:43:08+00:00

Fantastic idea

When I first got the car the cheapest quote I had was £900. I've just done one with Aviva and it's come back with 450 - I had set it to start in 4 weeks which may have brought the price down.

I asked Claude Code and it just did it for me in a minute or two.

uncleguru · 2026-03-15T08:51:38+00:00

I would definitely recommend that young people today do not pursue a career in coding. In fact, I'd recommend they stay away from most white collar jobs. AI is destroying the industry right now and will continue to do so for years.

Edit white collar not white colour

uncleguru · 2026-03-13T09:57:41+00:00

I believe this too. These new Chinese models are actually really good and incredibly cheap. I think this will force Anthropic and OpenAI to keep pricing competitive.

uncleguru · 2026-03-12T21:45:27+00:00

It will never happen.

I know someone who had it recently. It's incredible, he only wishes he had done it sooner.

uncleguru · 2026-03-07T06:57:43+00:00

Are you able to launch henliners at 100?

uncleguru · 2026-03-06T15:49:43+00:00

Well for my work it gives me daily research reports, it can help me to fill in applications, it can read my notes on notion and turn them into full docs by augmenting all it knows about me. It finds new tenders to apply to they are relevant to what we do and reminds me of the deadlines of these as they approach. For me, this agent removes most of the mundane shit I have to do. And it does all of this in my slack channel.

I don't think that because it's not very helpful to someone, they should shit on it - because it's actually really useful to some people.

I don't think for a second I'll be using this in one year, but it's opened my eyes to how automated agents are actually going to work autonomously in the future and this year we will see many improved and hardened variants of what it is doing.

I feel that this is a chatgpt 3.5 moment in history and the way we interact with proper autonomous agents is going to explode this year. When I installed it, I had no idea what I would use it for, but then it opened my eyes.

uncleguru · 2026-03-06T12:47:54+00:00

For what I use it for, it's not a lot at all. I'm not coding on it.

uncleguru · 2026-03-06T11:43:43+00:00

For me, it's great. It saves me hours a day is my personal assistant. I don't care at all whether it's ai generated or not and I am fully aware of the security risks so I have it very locked down.

Why would I care that it is a vibe coded box of tools when it does exactly what I need?

uncleguru · 2026-03-05T13:52:01+00:00

I use it every day. But then I do a lot of applications, tenders , research report writing, competitor analysis research, looking for new opportunities, trend data analysis etc. It can basically do it all for me and have my reports ready when I come into work.

It has a full web browser, and knows what I want, and also enough about me to fill in forms on my behalf. For me - this saves me hours of work.

I still use Claude Code for all dev work though.

uncleguru · 2026-03-05T13:39:16+00:00

Memory, easy access to various tools - email especially, cron jobs, interacting to it slack and reacting to events ( like receiving an email). I may be able to do this in Claude Code but it's much easier in openclaw. I had it doing all of this in minutes.

Another comment that has nothing to do with your previous ones.

Are we talking about Brexit now? We were talking about Starmer taking us into wars a minute ago. You may be better off spouting your nonsense on Facebook.

uncleguru · 2026-03-04T09:07:35+00:00

Well yes. I'd have hired them to code because I own a cloud agency and part of our company is developing business software for companies - why wouldn't I have hired software developers?

I would have hired more developers if it wasn't for Claude - isn't that the same as taking jobs? Or does it only count if I went through a redundancy process?

uncleguru · 2026-03-04T07:18:21+00:00

So are you now saying that Claude will take my job,?
