Yeah. Still haven’t seen an official response from the Greens yet, although they did acknowledge the issue has been raised with them.

Peter Gluckman is headlining the New Zealand Isr ael Innovation Hub's annual conference. Turns our he IS who I thought he was. His Centre for Informed Futures focuses on 4 themes: *Future society *Human potential *Navigating change *Informing policy How does upholding a genocide inform those?

The only conclusion to be drawn is that Lab benefit from this ignorance as much as Nat does, and they like a lot of what Nat does but enjoy that they can blame Nat for it. #nzpol

We got our windows and doors double glazed this week. I'm 41 years old, I've lived in more than 65 houses in my life. This is the first time I've ever lived somewhere with double glazing. What a sad indictment on housing quality here in Aotearoa.

It really is a scandal how little Marcroft has attempted to understand about the effect of her dogwhistle bill. Put aside its indefensible bigotry, let's look at where "man", "woman", "male", and "female" are used in the statute book.

The Post asked MPs about their use of AI and I'm fucking livid. Especially the guy using Grok, a tool that famously allowed users to create nonconsensual sexualised deepfakes. You think the standing orders are "complex" and need a tool made by a neo Nazi to make sense of it? Get a grip. #nzpol

The most popular use case for AI cited bu MPs was "research" which 55% of the individual MPs who used AI cites in some manner. National MP for Ilam and former molecular biologist Hamish Campbell had created his own server where he tan a "number of LLMs" according to a spokesperson. National MP for Bay of Oentlt Tome Rutherford had fed parliament complex standing orders and speakers rulings into Grok.

NZ media are just lapping this up as if it were run-of-the-mill celebrity gossip & Boyd is their kiwi on the inside. Rather than calling out the lack of ethics or basic due diligence by an academic of supposed high standing and instead of exposing the really really bad stuff in the Epstein files…

Since Pinker has been brought to NZ by the FSU, local reporters could ask what the "Great Fun" he was having with Epstein on April 4 2014, as mentioned in an Epstein email to Bill Gates (2014 isn't a "This person and their crimes is a mystery to me" time, as it is many years after the 2007 case)
