A few years ago an old friend in the UK messaged me to ask if we (AoNZ) were laughing at them (UK). Never thought we would follow suit. I have never felt embarrassed by my country until now. Our international reputation is being destroyed. #votethemout #dobetter

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade thinks the reversal of the oil and gas exploration ban breached the EU Free Trade Agreement. How do we know? Because they accidentally leaked their own legal opinion in Sep 2024. newsroom.co.nz/2024/10/01/g... www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

We can rein in generative AI, the companies behind it, and the harms it causes. But that requires actually wanting to understand the impacts it’s having today, not allowing ourselves to be led astray by people who benefit from lying to us and disrupting regulation. disconnect.blog/the-media-ha...

All those harms are not nearly as simple of a story nor one as sensational as telling people that AI might kill us all in ten years or so. But it’s irresponsible not to be focusing on it more because those are all the ways AI is really harming people today, and how they’ll continue to well into the future if AI companies and the executives that lead them are not brought to heel as soon as possible.

Generative AI and the harms it causes are not inevitable. AI superintelligence is nothing more than a science fiction story that increasingly delusional and disconnected tech people are telling themselves. We can act to rein in the real harms of AI today, but that means not falling for the targeted deception of an industry trying to avoid regulation and finally holding them accountable for the widespread consequences we’ve all had to shoulder in their pursuit of power and profit.

OPINION: Hager’s book Dirty Work went looking for foreign money. Instead, he found Kiwis.

Is there a list of all the companies that are giving money to political parties in the upcoming New Zealand election? I really want to avoid giving money to those companies buying power to do whatever they feel they can’t achieve without power being bought. It is not in the consumers best interest.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

They got energy policy totally wrong and now reality has bitten and they had to introduce subsidised loans to help businesses get off fossil gas and admit their stupid LNG import terminal is dead. We wasted 3 years and 1000s lost their jobs when we should have been racing to transition off gas
