Heads up: if you enrol or update your details [ vote.nz ] after TOMORROW 4th of Oct your vote will be a Special vote. These have to be witnessed by another enrolled person (so they take a wee bit longer to cast) AND counted after Election Night (so take 3 weeks longer to be added to the tallies).

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot
Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is exactly how I talk about it too! I've seen Gen AI try to write good comms and it's always completely terrible (see - most of LinkedIn, a bunch of the newer FB 'nz politics influencer' types.
Screenshot of a tumblr post reading: recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

This is so funny. When I was at uni, lecturers never said Wikipedia was "slop", they simply cautioned students to check its citations. Which you can't do with LLMs because they just make things up and are *designed* to stop you thinking critically about what you're reading

If you use the term 'during covid', it's like saying 'during measles' or 'during flu'. It isn't an era with an end point. The time of covid is ongoing. If you mean 'during the time people bothered to try reduce the spread' , or 'in the first two years of the outbreak', then say so.

As we recall the trauma caused by COVID in 2020, we should not forget COVID continues to harm. Many still suffer from Long COVID, people who mask are often harassed, and we haven’t scaled clean air infrastructure. If we truly acknowledge past harms, we should be working to create a better future.

Previously secret documents imply that the famous international restaurant guide essentially guaranteed the award of at least one star to a restaurant, if the NZ Government paid its $1,901,250 fee.

To add to this thread although the virus was only identified in the 70s, Indigenous epidemiology has been around for centuries. The oral history traditions of the Diné talked of the disease that came with the rains & increased rodent population due to the abundance of food. asm.org/articles/202...
