The Gemini -> Nano Banana is probably because my OpenClaw config isn't the best.
I've also been playing around with using these models through Cloudflare's AI Gateway, give central observability across a number of providers & just because I wanted to see if I could 😀

Interestingly Gemini 3 created the prompt that was sent to Nano Banana when I told it that the image was incorrect, and why it was wrong. The corrected prompt included "taken from the east, eg: Mrs Macquarie's Chair"

The original prompt was:
Use Google Search to check the current weather in Sydney, Australia, and add weather information on top of a cinematic landscape photo of the Sydney Opera House
/1
AI generated image of the Opera House. Not correct as you can see the harbour bridge behind the opera house looking at it from that side.
AI generated corrected image after telling it how you would see the harbour bridge behind the opera house
So I've been playing with OpenClaw and a bunch of different models; Google's Gemini 3 & Nano Banana.
Image #1, overlay the weather on an image of the Opera House.
You got it wrong, can't see the bridge if you are looking at the opera house from that side! Silly AI.
Image #2, corrected

It’s not that complex. #auspol #climate
🇺🇸 a backlog of 12 Virginia-class submarines, in addition to three Columbia-class ballistic submarines ... the Virginia-class subs will never arrive in Australia
🇬🇧 Britain’s capacity to screw these things up is almost as impressive as ours
🇦🇺 no deliverable tied to the sum we’ve invested in 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸
as nation we owe a huge debt to @pupfiction.bsky.social for rapidly re-organising the line-up for the event
@ronnisalt.bsky.social is one of Australia's most gifted writers. This is unarguably one of her most powerful and important pieces. Read it, share it, reflect upon it, and act for peace, compassion, empathy, and understanding.
Thank you, @ronnisalt.bsky.social.

After 4 years of study, a few more years of consolidation and then a couple of years of forgetting I should do this, I finally put in the paperwork to be recognised as a real engineer.
That's a lot of letters, maybe just "knows things".
Half an hours work on Cloudflare and way less than $100M
It’s impossible, at a practical level, to create a biodiverse habitat from a degraded one, the level of expense and effort required is too high. Yet the very high demand for rights to destroy 1/

I’m with you on eggs. Can’t stand them boiled, poached, fried, etc.. I don’t have a problem with eggs, I just don’t like to eat them.
Would love to open a breakfast restaurant called “Eggs on the side” where menu items don’t come with eggs by default, they extras you add to any dish.
I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!
But if it gets Full Self Flying ...... ?
Hello Back to the Future!
I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...
In a scathing opinion piece the CEO of ACOSS claimed that ‘one in eight of us still lives in poverty, including one in six children’, and that 'wealth inequality is worsening'. When we track the data underlying this condemnation of Labor in 2025, we find it was collected under the Coalition in 2019.
Most (good) solutions are proposed not by newcomers, but by people who understand an issue deeply.
There are exceptions, of course, but generally, if a solution seems "obvious", it's because you don't understand the problem as well as you think. 🧵
A visual timeline titled "Prime Ministers of Australia Since Robert Menzies" featuring portraits of Australian Prime Ministers from 1949 to the present. Each portrait includes the leader's name and term dates. The sequence starts with Robert Menzies (1949–1968) and continues through to Anthony Albanese (2022-). Some date entries contain typographical errors, and Tony Abbott appears twice with different dates. The portraits of the prime ministers are also really bad, absolutely incorrect and totally fucked up e.g. Gough Whitlam looks like a Bob Hawke hybrid and Bob Hawke doesn’t even look like Bob Hawke. These images are a clear indication that AI hasn’t quite got it right just yet.
“Show me a list of Australian prime ministers since Robert Menzies, with their names and years in office under their portraits.”

Funny and yet horrifically true summing up. Do watch; they’re very good at what they do.
This the context -> Meredith Whitaker at SXSW in the perfect summary of why agentic AI should be a top line concern: youtu.be/jY8cd2YMdI4?...
There is no gas shortage in Australia.
Remember: Australia exports 80% of its gas.
Despite the fact that nearly all sides of politics agree, this hasn't stopped Big Gas from pushing the myth of a shortage to justify digging new gas fields.
