FWIW, Apparently RNZ is streaming… although respect for your stance.

Is anyone fact checking the leaders’ debate? I’m struggling to find data fast enough. #nzpol

I can’t speak for NZ’s electoral history, but can authoritatively say that nothing like what I'm studying at present around the far-right's influence operations, coordinated messaging, & related funding (propped by billionaires) was this evident in the lead up to the 2023 general election. #nzpol

And if the gender pay negotiations had not been scrapped, many families would be in a much better financial position today…

Worth remembering that if it costs the government $4.5b to reverse the gender pay tax, then it costs the women affected $4.5b to leave it in place.

I'm at Unity Bookshop Wellington for the Nicky Hager book launch. The event is not due to start until 6 pm, but the room is mostly full already and filling up fast.

I have a small poster on my wall that says: Once, I thought a nap was a punishment; now it’s a mini vacation. Truth!

An u16 social media ban on selected platforms a) won't significantly stop u16s being those platforms; Australian evidence shows this. b) will institute mass identity surveillance of all users of any age on those platforms; and c) Won't affect key sources of online safety risk (roblox, chatbots).

For me, it’s cup holders. I drink coffee on the way to work, I need decent cup holders. (I assume any modern car is safe, fuel efficient, etc). Oh, and a green car would be nice…

Favourite shop: Il Papiro, Italian stationery, hand made paper, notebooks, inks. Degraves St, which also has lovely restaurants. You can navigate from there through laneways and across busy streets to Melbourne Central.

The take-away is "various officials and clinicians" (Health NZ) are OK with people dying of bowel cancer: they don't want more testing because that means more colonoscopies. Wut?? Fund. Properly! Gift link: www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/health-nz...

This is what the ITP sector teaches. Give students the foundations at school, then send them along to the polytechnics for industry specific skills.

The story 'points to a gross failure of security governance on OpenAI’s behalf, not an emerging super intelligence. This is why the framing of “agent going rogue” is so problematic. It elevates and blames the technology, but excuses OpenAI’s engineering.' theconversation.com/sam-altman-s...

Sam Altman says we’re ‘in the singularity’ with AI. Here’s why he’s wrong

The singularity has two features. The AI systems Sam Altman sells don’t deliver on either of them.

It’s the $64 billion dollar question: who the HELL is benefitting from the US war on Iran? Then there’s the military cost to Iran, and the damned cost of living every other country is suffering. Beyond angry at this profligate excess. 🤬

In case this isn’t clear, all parties were working collaboratively to advance a new law on consent NOW. National withdrew from this collaboration in order to promise it would do this same thing AFTER THE ELECTION. Trying to slow down this change.

Winston Peters's most successful bait and switch is convincing people that he's the maverick outsider who can stick it to the man and save them from entrenched forces of evil, when, in reality, he's been in government more than anyone else this century. He's the most insidery of insiders. #nzpol
