In Australia we have very strong consumer protection law, here it’s expected (by the bank usually) the landlord has at least a minimum “landlord insurance” that covers all that stuff.

For anything not covered, where a tenant does damage thats what the bond is for.

Renter insurance should be optional.

Actually I’m surprised that landlord insurance is not already occurring, imagine a building with 100 apartments, I’m sure the bank would ask the landlord to have a single cover over 100’s of little crappy policies.

If renter insurance is required by regulations, this is likley another good target for policy change.

Americans really do get screwed in so many ways.

If they don’t make a statement on it, I’d be very cautious in trusting this team.

Wow. Your comments come across as rude and underdeveloped. I’d posit that if our planet was to significantly change is rotation speed that we would all sense it. That we are accustomed to a predictable constant is not the same as that we wouldn’t feel it if it changed.

My first statement would be that surely the challenge you are experiencing is pretty similar to what Ford has reported around its recent AI adoption.

A core principal from Toyota Lean Production and Demings TQM, is that a critical way to increase quality is to address waste coming upstream, including the waste of fixing defects.

The argument that “AI runs so quickly” reminds me of the American manufacturing technique of making a machine lunch out widgets whether they were needed or of not to maximise throughput. As any lean practitioner knows this leads to multiple additional wastes including excess work in progress and wasted movement.

How do you see this principal lines up with current AI arguments?

So refreshing to have this NOT read a few pageS IN; words to the effect of.. “and the I asked Claude to build most of it for me then set to tweaking a few parts at the edges before asking Claude to write up this blog post”

The software that most accountants use is leaning into AI as hard as it can and unlike coders, accountants are being sold the benefits but can’t directly see the shortcomings and don’t have the programming know how to engage with the technical nuance.

Like many other sectors quality is gradually turning to slops as people “let the AI do it”.

If it helps clarify, Apple have also let their OS quality go too. Years of under investment just shiny new veneer.

Linux has continues to improve and in my opinion is ready to be “the free default” OS on PC’s and standard laptops.

Would love to see many more manufacturers read this as the slight taht it is from Microsoft and to follow Lenovos lead in making windows a paid add-on, going with a big Linux distro as the default.

Maybe instead of hardware they should just stick to the knitting and deal with their quality issues around both the OS and the Office suite right now.

Please stay off the AI. Leaning hard here sends the opposite message to what you’re intending. Seems the event is trying for say people matter more, lean into that.

I’m personally pretty keen to find an alternative to the proprietary format that is PDF.

Anyone used this format, I can’t remember Harding of it before I came across this today. Beyond being not as widely spread any special drawbacks or benefits worth mentioning?

It has already enshitified. These changes are text book.

- Inclusion and Transparency values made more shitty

- Always free commitment removed. What? It’s right there “always”.

- Shittily hacking old blog post to become nonsensical

- Loss of confidence

- Stalling improvement cycle, no more repairs, just things quietly breaking and going bad.

I found this an interesting read until the second to last sentence:

“ Zig built the foundation, Claude erected the building, human reviewers are still en route.”

Wait?! Was this article also written with AI? Surely the author wouldn’t be so err pompus and dare I say somewhat hypocritical.
