Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 09/08/2026This is the Cam Wilson story I spoke about on last Wednesday’s show… published today www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...abc.net.auHow a simple request for AI to book a gym class exposed a major threatWhen Andrew asked his AI personal assistant to book him a spot in a gym class, he had no idea he would accidentally initiate an autonomous cyber attack. 3188
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 06/08/20262021 B3! The fact that Americans can’t buy them makes it extra cool somehow 😂 020
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 06/08/2026Even the wheels have that weird fake logo on them… and they’re huge! Not like a real BMW 😭 😭 😭 300
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 06/08/2026An insanely well optioned and barely driven 2021 B3 came up for a reasonable price so I basically had to buy it 111
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 06/08/2026I traded in my Supra for a 5yo used BMW 3 series but it arrived with this badge on the steering wheel. Must be a fake BMW! I’ve been ripped off!! :((( 6180

Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 27/07/2026OpenAI has obviously smoothed this over with HF somehow so there’s no benefit to a prosecution here. But the legal question here is interesting. Would it be a criminal charge? Criminal negligence? Good question! 300
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 15/07/2026Yeah geez I wonder why people would be ditching a big4 ETF… truly a mystery you have on your hands! 010

Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 14/06/2026I pointed out to my (Brazilian) wife that technically Australia is doing better in the World Cup than Brazil and now I’m getting divorced 😞 4401
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 09/06/2026Pretty ironic that Trump’s nickname for Biden was “sleepy joe” don’t ya think 3200
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 05/06/2026The problem is it’s not really feasible to use IPv6 exclusively for remote access yet, and that’s gonna take a while. But you’re right, I was being overly harsh 110
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 04/06/2026Yeah my entire point is this has been a settled argument for a long time. In the whole conversation we even talk about how there’s a bunch of people at orgs like MS who don’t even realise this is settled. So yeah. My reaction was the same. It’s 2026 ffs 030
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 04/06/2026Hear us chat about this and all sorts of other stuff in this week's show, which features @jameswilson.io, me, Andrew Boyd from REDLattice/Paragon and Fletcher Heisler from Authentik. AUDIO: risky.biz/RB840 VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOQE...youtube.comRisky Business Weekly (840): Microsoft walks back researcher threatsYouTube video by Risky Business Media 080
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 04/06/2026Microsoft's digital crimes unit said it would pursue security researchers who "irresponsibly" disclose 0day. But it's simple: Redmond can't dictate what researchers do with bugs. If you can't entice hackers to disclose bugs via your preferred channels, that's a you problem! (aka skill issue) 34614
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 29/05/2026Editing today's Risky Bulletin script and this one hit me right in the guts. Hand on heart, I hope something bad happens to this guy inside every day he's there 1151
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 28/05/2026Also, I’m not worried about the 10%… if that’s what you think then you’re not paying attention. I’m worried that the economic damage from this will cost jobs and growth and be bad for everyone. It’s the people at the bottom who will get hit hardest in an investment pullback 100
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 28/05/2026It will result in massive shifts away from growth investing towards stable boring companies that shit franked dividends… private debt another winner. You can talk about tax justice all you want, but the reason governments everywhere discount capital gains tax is to stimulate productive investment 010
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 28/05/2026I 100% agree the property stuff is worth a try… investing in existing housing shouldn’t get concessional tax treatment. It’s the “all other assets” part that’s completely boneheaded 010
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 28/05/2026I think it’s possible to be sympathetic to the idea that the wealthy should pay more tax and still think the government’s CGT policy is really bad. Instead of sector-specific carveouts and complicated indexation calculations, why not just reduce the CGT discount by 10-15%? This is just bad policy 210
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 20/05/2026Replacing the CGT discount on all asset classes with the system they've proposed is just insane. It's really, really, really bad policy 000
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 20/05/2026Also, what??? If this is the case, why do it? I think the end result here is the LNP wins in 2028 and unwinds this entire policy, including the axing of the CGT discount on residential property, which most people (including me) actually support bsky.app/profile/did:... 100
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 20/05/2026Not just startups, any business that has been founded with zero cost base. Architectural firms, engineering, media like me. Exemptions exist for small biz with a turnover of less than $2m. But that's a massive disincentive to grow! So it's not just a tech sector problem. 500
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 19/05/2026“The new tax we’re introducing that will kill the startup ecosystem and cause capital flight won’t raise much money” is not the argument you think it is 040
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 18/05/2026Every country in the world with a functioning economy discounts tax on capital gains as compared to income. Do you really think the ALP has discovered a special cheat code here? Because I don’t! It’s stupid! Capital and founders are both highly mobile! This is a terrible idea! 000
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 18/05/2026There is zero CGT in Singapore! And no offence, but this is a perfect example of someone not understanding what’s being proposed. Just use my company, built from nothing, as an example. If I sell it, how do I use cost base indexation to get from the 47% undiscounted rate to 30? There’s no cost base! 110
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 17/05/2026The CGT changes could be devastating to local startups and founders. They’re planning carveouts but if they favour local capital/VC firms then founders will get shittier term sheets here. Let’s see where this lands, but the whole package seems more about ideology than sensible tax policy 100
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 17/05/2026The changes to discretionary trust rules have the right vibes, but they won’t raise much money. There’s rollover/restructuring relief and the changes look like they’re designed to stop stuff that’s already illegal, like personal services income splitting 100
Patrick Gray @patrick.risky.biz · 17/05/2026The latest budget has shown just how little Australians understand the tax system. So many people beclowning themselves. The removal of CGT discount and negative gearing on resi is good policy. The rest of it isn’t. There’s a reason CGT rates are lower than income rates. CGT rate is 20% in China! 240
