If we survive this current mess then one day historians are going to have to write about it and I feel bad for them already

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Has anyone started a company called openai 2 yet using their theory of intellectual property

I’m of the view that certain policies and systems have been put in place to actively hinder progressively transformational policy from succeeding for any significant amount of time. See Jane Kelsey’s description of an Economics Constitution in AoNZ. #nzpol

*Buses check in via Bluetooth with the building, so it knows what route it’s on, which direction it is travelling, which Platform it needs to go to, as well as opening the lounge doors, updating the platform screen & announcements.

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

His prominence is cause his name was suppressed for so fucking long. He isn’t a prominent NZer. He’s a sex offender tied to “prominent” NZers. Fuck you for buffering this shit you gross pricks.

Oof

I can only imagine that certain members of this government are getting large bribes paid into overseas tax havens. Otherwise their decisions make no sense #nzpol

I have my students co-develop class policies, and they pretty much unanimously chose to ban AI in the class. There were a few questions about using Grammarly, but those were the only real exceptions any students expressed (and even then, we talked about alternatives to that and they were open to it)

Rimmer, having said he received no complaints about te Tiriti in schools in an official capacity, is now trying to pretend he received so many that it would be "substantial collation and research" to collect them. What a lying piece of shit.

Our politicians did more to regulate Prince and Twisted Sister songs than glacier melting chatbots that promote suicide

New Zealand would like to be normal too, please. #nzpol

Something about this doesn't smell right. It might just be that the spokesperson is repeating jargon without understanding it, and the actual explanation is innocent, but "algorithms" aren't magic. They can't create data that wasn't already there.

Defence lawyers spell it out: nothing any of these officers has ever done or will do in the future can ever be trusted www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

NZ Professional Firefighters Union keep responding to David Seymour’s lies about the state of fire trucks. #nzpol

Your regular reminder that by throwing away nature, we throw away *everything*.

This can’t come as a surprise to anyone on FB or Insta, who have been awash with the lowest quality ads for simply ages now. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

… (pay equity stuff). NZ has a long history of peaceful protest, it worries me greatly that between this trespass order and the law govt is looking at we are starting to see the beginning of the end of this important part of democracy.

CEO of Weyland-Yutani Corporation granted gazillion dollar payday.

It's not phrenology if the computer does it instead of humans. You are not allowed to ask where the data the computer trains on comes from.

It is *obscene* that that beast wearing the skin of a man called Elon Musk was just awarded a trillion dollar pay-package after he personally signed the death warrant of hundreds of thousands of innocents earlier this year.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad 2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

There are no words for how evil this is

so it's been like this for a while I see

Heartbreaking. May justice be done one day.

Find somebody who looks at you the same way that Simeon Brown looks at Serco lobbyists.🤮

National's bigger bulldozer for its corrupt Muldoonist fast-track law has been given a full six months select committee consideration - but you have only 10 days to submit. This is what the regime calls "consultation" www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

I'm worried that we don't have enough tall buildings for speculators and bankers to jump off when the crash happens.😒 Why are we allowing ourselves to be sucked into repeating all the shittiest bits of the 20th century? #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

stop doing phrenology with the computer!!

There are transition points where political entities shift from Suicidally stupid to Monumentally corrupt to Actively malevolent to Whatever fresh hell this is The old testament god had Abraham spare his child, these people would have the child slaughtered, eviscerated and eaten raw Damn them all

"According to the publication, the communications could demonstrate willful infringement, potentially leading to enhanced damages of up to $150,000 per work, a massive increase from just $750." #WritingCommunity

This is really impressive. They invented racism.

You know when a work meeting ends early and your boss says, "I'll give you back your time"? I found out what not to reply is, "What about my soul?"

The implicit promise of the govt's whole shtick was to leave things to locals and get central govt and political interference out of local decisions. That implicit promise has been thoroughly and repeatedly broken and one would hope one of our country's political editors would notice that.

Again a systemic story that's bigger than the individual bits: a govt which ran into power in large part based on banging the localism drum about water has accelerated the pace of centralised - and personal Ministerial - decision-making. This is a big story about this govt. Someone should tell it.

In today’s NZ Herald

That's NZ, Scottish, and Aussie bsky fucked

And this is what they call “the ole Chappaquiddick Farewell” in the Kennedy family, dude couldn’t help it, it’s in his blood.

Coalition of cruelty still "laser focused on the cost of living" and planning to force unhoused people away from where all the (defunded) social services are #nzpol

At every turn, the Government has opted for whatever would actually lead to more pollution and a warmer world – even if it costs more, jeopardises NZ’s reputation, overturns a campaign promise or clashes with the Government’s other priorities. The long retreat: newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/07/g...

A report from the Minister for Growth, on the unemployment rate. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #unemployment #joblessness

Imagine NZ’s cabinet ministers commanding the flight deck of a giant airliner. At their fingertips, an extraordinary array of flight instruments with high tech signal pathways and data switching capabilities. All aimed at enhancing situational awareness to support decision making.

Isnt Doocey worst ever Mental Health minister? 1 portfolio only. NZ’ers are setting up scary MH wards in their own homes as there are no facilities, he won’t find funds for places up & running doing the mahi like Whakamātūtū What was $24M for Gumboot, 1 match up organisation, all about? #nzpol
