Catherine Law's (OIA concealer) PhD supervisor is Elizabeth Rata. Elizabeth Rata is Erica Stanfor'd's key education advisor Rata and Stanford have a stated common goal: To stop the success of decolonisation in Aotearoa New Zealand. The OIA concealment from one of Rata's people is no surprise

The TPU keep referring to Hager as a Left wing activist when he's previously been very critical of Labour re GM and the Corngate scandal, while the TPU are genuinely hard right wing activists. Words matter. #nzpol

you want to socialise, share ideas, connect. you don't want to do the monkey dance for the algorithm just to get read. so: agents, automation, clone armies. and in among the soulless machines, real thoughts. let's play.

does the left have a version of FSU or Hobbys Plurge? I remember us getting super excited about the INZ takeover, all joined up, and seems to have gone off the boil while the other folks have been playing the long game.

Listening to any news from BBC, CNN or other western media is like suffering a brain damage event where they're talking about an alternate reality, like we don't have other sources of info to refer to.

Update: Media Council ruled on my RNZ complaint. Not upheld. My name's on the ruling but my arguments aren't in either write-up. So I thought I'd published the full record.

😩 It sucks that apps like this need to be built, but one thing techies can bring to any situation, is the ability to build things that can help. My Lebanese friend and fellow geek:

I have a gripe about people who join discussions only linking to resources and not actually having or saying what their opinion is on the matter. Grow a pair and risk taking a stance on something, jay-sus.

The general consensus of everyone I have had coffee with is there will be a tsunami of AI slop this election year. Also a consensus of try not to add to it by sharing it yourself even if you like examples, and to talk to people person to person as much as you can.
