THIS IS FINE

‘Reuters found the ships were connected by one thing: a small insurance company in New Zealand, run by a British family.’

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.

Nicola Willis slams Labour's capital gains tax plan: 'It's a terrible idea'

Labour just went for CGT-lite. It won't raise much money & won’t change the incentives in our housing-market-with-bits-tacked-on economy. It’s focus-group-hugging performative politics. It tells low wage renters flying to Australia: not much will ever change. It says; ‘Fly my pretties. Fly’. #nzpol

So my concern is not about artificial intelligence taking jobs. It’s about artificial intelligence, causing harm in our society and our communities because people erroneously put these systems in positions where they can make damaged decisions with no real oversight.

It's so reassuring that our govt, a govt responsible for the agrarian economy within this famously volcanic, windy, sunny, tidal, archipelago, known for its creativity and innovative response to challenges, has chosen to prioritise fossil fuels when everyone else is investing in renewable energy.

While I'm not really surprised this increasingly Christofascist government is applying their 'worthiness test' to acknowledged victims of state abuse, I am really disgusted. #nzpol
