I do not feel confident about Labour’s election strategy at all. Activate the left and unenrolled voters with bold lifechanging policy, don’t ride the centre and play it safe trying to appeal to landlords and National voters. The latter is what collapsed Labour’s majority last time. #nzpol

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

A govt seriously concerned with good faith would have a care for the quality of the bills it introduced to Parliament, and refrain from introducing bills based on partisan lies simply to patronise its client parties

Damn, I read Judith's letter! I'll leave the politics to others, but, lord, the Govt spending stuff is REALLY BAD! I'll try and keep this short.
First up, this bare-faced lie. The countries in the pink circle have a similar-sized economy to NZ. Govt spending is a lot higher in all but one . [🧵 1/n]
