one of the funnier aspects to the AI backlash is the fact that they're negatively polarizing much of the tech enthusiast demographic against them by making hobbyist PC building functionally unaffordable
Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

New Zealand's unwillingness to invest properly in the people who literally put out fires is absurd and weird.
Fires are terrible, they absolutely must be put out, the people who do that dangerous and unpleasant work should be paid extremely well.
This isn't hard people.

Actually, hey @greens.org.nz, something I’d be interested in hearing your opinions/policy ideas on. Since you’re a party of grown ups who think we can have nice things.
I know Labour are… Labour, but should they get in, October: an easy fix for a lot of the mess we’re in could be reversing anything passed under urgency. It’s just ridiculous.

I recommend we force billionaires to sit in a teaching hospital ER with no devices for 8 hours in a busy city so they get a flavor of the real world. Can’t talk to anyone, just watch and listen.

When the Port Arthur Massacre happened, Australia cracked down on guns. Aotearoa could have done so at thge same time, butr we waited until the 15th of March 2019 to do anything similar.
Australia is going to crack down on guns again, harder. Will Aotearoa do the same?

Reddit is growing because it's just a collection of forums and people like their niches. Substack is something else and I'm bored even writing this sentence about it. All I know for sure is the reporters and commenters who spend their whole day on Twitter in 2025 have to go to a hospital.

There's no justification to give these people a platform, which is done without substantial critique. Particularly, there's no 'truth sandwich' to prevent people picking up their ideas, it's just awfulness presented in screeds for people to pick up and believe in.
