I'm beginning to think that they are setting NZ unemployed up to make war machines and munitions. When you have no other way to make money you will work for companies that make horrible goods.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

At the beginning of a course, choose a student and in front ofthe class use prompts to complete one of their tasks. Ai is such that we can cut out the student and just put in all the projects and give a mark.
If students are using Ai to do their work, they might as well not be there

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

I lived overseas for 18 years and NZ had a good reputation at the beginning, but it was starting to fray with people asking me if it was really green and lovely. It became harder to answer when respective National govts kept undermining our image with their choices & behaviour on the world stage

It’s like he walked in saying “I don’t care what I have to agree to. I just wanna be PM”.
