For serious though, once again we see clearly that the right do not have good ideas or good people, just a shitload of money and power, and even with all that, they can't withstand a single whiff of criticism or pushback

I don’t believe AI will kill us all. But I do believe it can make all our lives worse, which has already started to come into effect, and it’s clear that the people behind the technology don’t care at all about the human cost.

I still think about the guy who pointed out that "the underlying purpose of Al is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth." Rarely have seen AI described so succinctly.

MPs are claiming their partners property doesn't count, so can disabled, beneficiaries, students start claiming the same? We seem to have a hard time deciding when an adult is independent too, is it voting age 18? job seeker age 20? As a student 25? Well undergrad, PG can't get allowance. #Nzpol

I think we've probably reached the end of the public's willingness to accept "we have to make things worse for you now to make them better later." It's been like 50 years of that rhetoric and things are demonstrably not better. Time to focus on making things better by just making them better now.

Whenever a company announces they're going to start using AI, I notice two things. First, it's never about how it can actually improve the product, just how they can do it more cheaply/with less people. Second, they never announce an intent to pass any of those expected savings on to the consumer.

I guarantee you that the government hasn’t correctly worked out the savings from sacking 10,000 public servants. When I worked at a government department that was closing offices the leadership hadn’t accounted for the cost of redundancies; the savings was quickly eaten up by redundancies.
