Jono @jonocarpenter.bsky.social · 17hJFC just a complete word salad. There are many issues here that are issues for us to take issue with. Apparently Christ, he may be the least offensive of the NZF bunch though.

Jono @jonocarpenter.bsky.social · 22hThey never want us to be like Singapore in the good ways. Link to a post about how Singapore's MRT almost didnt happen because consultants said it wasnt necessary and buses would manage.

Reposted by JonoDr. Karen Carr @quatrus.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It seems to me that the fantasy of AI enthusiasts is that they will regain the slaves they lost with the end of the Civil War and the Civil Rights Act: they will have obedient servants who don't have to be paid and can't talk back. Maybe that's why they're so eager for AI agents to be conscious. 261

Jono @jonocarpenter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Anyway, once again I am back on my bullshit of leveraging consenting processes over minor changes to somewhat mundane heritage features to write local history which otherwise would never get written.

Tucker Carlson suggesting it would be good if Hitler had won World War 2 so everyone in the UK spoke a “European language” is quite the opinion.

Jono @jonocarpenter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Parenting is a constant "There, but for the grace of god" headtrip. Its hard enough to do, but add in precarity, any and all of the abuses, sick family, whatever. So many cracks for a child to fall down. You really see it in a month in NICU in a poor community, as we did with 5. Some had no chance 0110
Jono @jonocarpenter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I mean i think our first mortgage was 7.45% fixed for three years on a 14 year term in 2006 so swings and roundabouts idk. 000
Jono @jonocarpenter.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Just remembered in the shower how great interest rates on savings were in the early 2000s. I think the ex and I had BNZ accounts where you got bonus interest compounded monthly (went up from 4 to 7 or 8%?) if you deposited at least $20 and made no withdrawls. We were saving for a house deposit. 100
