Short doc about carnivore vs vegan lifestyles – looking for carnivore voices and support I’m an independent filmmaker in Sydney working on a short documentary called “Carnivore Vs Vegan” and I’d love to share the trailer and get feedback from people who actually live the carnivore lifestyle. This isn’t an attack piece on carnivores or vegans. The goal is to follow real people on both sides and show what these ways of eating actually mean in their lives: • Why you chose carnivore in the first place • How it’s affected your health, energy, training, or mindset • How friends, family, and doctors react to your way of eating • What it’s like being “the weird one” at restaurants or social events The film puts carnivore and vegan voices next to each other, but it’s not trying to crown a winner or tell viewers what to eat. It’s about beliefs, identity, and what it feels like to commit to an “extreme” diet in a world that often doesn’t get it. What I’m hoping for from this sub: • Honest feedback on the idea and trailer – what do you feel is usually misunderstood about carnivore that you’d like a film to show properly? • If you like the direction, any upvotes, comments, or shares so more carnivores see it. • If you’re open to it, I’m also keen to hear from potential participants who might want to share their story on camera. I’m running a small crowdfunding campaign to cover essentials like sound, gear and post‑production so this can be finished properly as an independent film. The trailer and more info are here: https://gofund.me/93726f6ff I’ll be reading and replying in the comments, so I’m very open to questions and suggestions on how to represent carnivore fairly and accurately.
🤖 My practical quest for execution of AI in financial services led me to Singapore's COSMIC. And it showed me exactly what Australia's 🇦🇺 next move should be. 🎯 ───────────────────── Singapore's COSMIC isn't a compliance innovation. It's an AI infrastructure innovation. 🤖 Singapore built a platform where six banks share financial crime intelligence in real time — in structured, machine-readable format, designed to feed directly into AI and ML systems. Not reports. Not alerts. Signals. That models can consume. Instantly. ⚡ ───────────────────── I've broken down (briefly) how it works, what the Australia vs Singapore gap actually looks like, and what a phased Australian equivalent would look like in the three slides above. The short version: 🔍 COSMIC is the breakthrough (slide 1) — machine-readable data, AI driven, human-in-loop reviewed reports 🏦 Australia's gap isn't capability — it's architecture (slide 2) — our Big 4 ML systems are world-class, they just can't talk to each other, and that gives us unconnected intelligence 🛠️ We have everything we need to build this now (slide 3) — Fintel Alliance, AML/CTF Act 2024, and a FATF deadline in 2026 ───────────────────── The question isn't whether we should build an Australian COSMIC. It's whether we build it before the window closes. 🪟 I'm keen to hear from experts on how this interconnects with real-time payments, cross-border transactions, and the CDR rails we've already built — comment below. 👇 #AI #AustralianBanking #AML #AgenticAI #MachineLearning #AUSTRAC #FinancialCrime #RegTech #NPP #OpenBanking #CrossBorder
