The thing which we all said was happening but apparently never was until it did
Google has agreed to pay $68M to settle a class-action lawsuit that alleged the technology giant's voice assistant had illegally recorded users (even if they didn’t activate it with “Hey Google”) and then shared their private conversations with advertisers.

I can’t believe how many snuff videos we all now watch. Pretti. Good. Kirk. So much shit from 10/7 and Gaza. Etc.

Regardless of the moral or political details of any of these, it’s just brutalizing and dehumanizing for all of us as consumers of this shit.

McLuhan noted every technology extends us in some way and amputates something in turn. I suspect AI/LLM's will amputate our ability to think for ourselves.

Yesterday I asked Grok about the child porn stuff, and this is what I got. (can't tell if this is just part of my overall shadow banning / no longer able to do basic stuff on twitter, as I've never used grok before, or if it is just a block on answering that)

$100m of solar panels saves a country 30 years of gas imports at 2024 prices for the same 1.5TWh of electricity generated

That's a $3b saving in gas imports for each $100m of solar deployed

Another one of my charts of the year

"40 percent of MRI signals do not correspond to actual brain activity"; "Since tens of thousands of fMRI studies worldwide are based on this assumption, our results could lead to opposite interpretations in many of them.”

40 percent of MRI signals misinterpreted
Interpretation of numerous MRI data may be incorrect: blood flow is not a reliable indicator of brain activity.

Yesterday I posted about my new web tracker of how often the parliament has gone into Urgency this term. #nzpol seemed to appreciate it and this evening I added a way to see the percentage of bills passed under urgency by each parliament.
The results are interesting!

Y'all they really just fucking highlighted the text black in word on the redacted Epstein files. At least for the digital text files anyway. You can just fucking copy and paste it elsewhere to read it LMAO. I just tried it because I was like there's no fucking way and shit worked flawless.

This is extraordinary, even for Trump, and really exemplifies the weird free pass he has been given by reality. Any person (politician, or in a prominent job, or vaguely humanoid) being held to any norms would be fired in ignominy.
Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer were murdered. This is how Trump decided to respond.

So a single Afghan man that Americans trained in combat tactics has supposedly shown himself incompatible with "Western Civilization" and now all Afghanis are unwelcome. Cool. Someone tell Trump about all the angry white male Americans shooting folks in bunches. Toss them, we're really in business.

This is a thousand years worth of Creative NZ government funding
our govt wants to spend 327 times more on a single road ($18b) than they are currently spending yearly on all of basic science in new zealand ($55m) #nzpol
The Northern Expressway we were told would cost $10 billion is now priced at $18 billion, or six times the Cook Strait crossing we were told was unaffordable. This is fantasy stuff. www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-adv...

For context: Total cost of all reparations paid to Māori for land confiscations to date = $2.7 billion

Total cost of the economic lunacy of this government reinstating mortgage interest deductions to landlords = $2.9 billion (over 4 yrs), plus $760 million every single year thereafter
