Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

the fact this happened should rule her out all over again and have her removed from the role

Wrote two lines of Javascript to make news websites actually look like what they *feel* like to me

What FSU are doing is emailing their people to only vote for their candidates based on the FSU x Hobson's Pledge misinformation campaign about the constitution of INZ that has been in place trouble free for about a year now. That's the problem here.

Stop uploading things to LLMs. ANY THINGS. ANY LLMs.

our smollest, roundest boi

Seriously plausible

"roundest boi" This is tītīpounamu erasure

But I fully agree, Opportunity need to be consistently polling above 5% to get over people's anxiety of wasting their vote, especially if things are tight between National and Labour

I think the gamble National is taking is that it'll win back the voters it's losing to TOP. What I'm saying is, I think that's a bad gamble, because to many in that voting bloc, Labour + TOP will be much more appealing than Continued Winston And David Shenanigans

I think they'd happily go into coalition with Labour, that's their entire vibe

Not to mention, with apologies to my secret Opportunity friends, I do not see a downside to getting into coalition with the newish party who have little government experience and deeply technocratic values.

This is such an extremely silly play NZ elections are heavily determined by the voters who swing between National and Labour and that's also who TOP are targeting and appealing to. Don't tell the comfortable middle, "if you vote for us it's three more years of Winston and David's antics"

oop there it is

if you're ruling out TOP but NOT NZF in a climate where the latter party routinely attacks you and pushes FAR more extreme bigotry and fascist rhetoric then ... well you're overtly fascist accelerationists at that stage

two things 1. they must have internal polling showing slippage directly to TOP - no other reason to make a statement this strong 2. this almost CERTAINLY guarantees a far right coalition if Nats win - WORSE than the current settings with ACT and NZF pushing extremist politics this term

Someone I love and care for and value telling me I'm great? Brain rejects as nonsense, bias, pandering The luminaries of the conspiracy/transphobia fringe yelling themselves hoarse about how fat and unsexy I am and how they were Definitely Definitely Not Turned On? Felt like ascending to godhood

Had cause to remember that time Leo Molloy posted my pole photos to Twitter trying to stir a rightwing mob on me, and not only did it completely fizzle because they're such sad unimaginative losers, it was genuinely one of the best ego boosts I've ever had

I doubt they knew or cared tbh

But Henry have you considered that thirty years ago the TV news showed a two-second clip of Green members dancing at AGM and it's literally the worst thing that ever happened to the party
