bron-c.bsky.social @bron-c.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Absolutely devastating. I'm no surprised the media coverage has been so limited, given how much the interests of the company and the ministry will be fiercely protected. Yet where are the protections for our tamariki? This story hits very close to home for me. 142
bron-c.bsky.social @bron-c.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Bolivia's general strike against neoliberalism has been going for 3 weeks. The Netherlands blocked US tech bros from purchasing their national digital ID company.

bron-c.bsky.social @bron-c.bsky.social · 31/05/2026The same AI that gets measurably dumber when it's implemented without a whole heap of guardrails and tweaks to stop if from turning into... the worst of the internet? Oh great. That'll end well. 010

bron-c.bsky.social @bron-c.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Our government treats AI like a magic wand. Or a lazy plot device. Serious conversations around regulation are urgently needed. 000
bron-c.bsky.social @bron-c.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Fantastic, thank you. I noticed that the Netherlands have blocked the acquisition by a US tech company of their national cloud based digital ID system, setting an important precedent for Europe. We so need to be having these conversations here! 062
bron-c.bsky.social @bron-c.bsky.social · 29/05/2026There are even worse provisions in that bill. Dr Bex writes that they've put in open ended powers to require people with disabilities to undergo medical examinations at any time, and by a practitioner that must be agreed upon by the client and MSD (otherwise MSD decides). No reasonable safeguards. 1147
bron-c.bsky.social @bron-c.bsky.social · 29/05/2026They continue to show they have no actual understanding of the reality of AI. Costs, licensing agreements, security, real world (lack of) efficiency. They treat it like a magic wand, when it's already becoming clear that it's anything but. 050

bron-c.bsky.social @bron-c.bsky.social · 13/05/2026That's very pertinent. I've just finished reading Ece Temelkuran's book, How to Lose a Country: The 7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship. Although she doesn't give the solutions, it is a stark warning of what can happen if you don't act fast. 000
