I don’t want to order a pizza on a predatory app. I want to ask what my mates address is that he sent me three months ago. I want to ask which account I sent an email from. I want to make complex adjustments to calendar events with natural language. If you cant do that, leave me alone.

“We’re investing in more generation to keep power prices down, that’s why we need to increase power prices.”
Do you see how unhinged you sound!?

So if I plan to travel to the country where I was born, my best option now is to renounce citizenship of that country. Is this a side-effect of a new system that was poorly designed, an intentional move to cull emigrants from the roster, or an attempt to raise more passport revenue from emigrants?

KiwiSaver boss faces backlash over Charlie Kirk LinkedIn post 'I wish your ideas had died with you,' he posted.

Regardless of the context, parroting the demonstrably untrue statement that Kirk’s perspective was in the political centre is not great.

If Otter AI spent half as many resources on fixing their damn transcript editing issues and fixing copy/paste in Firefox as it does on crappy LLM integrations, it would be a significantly better tool

The investigation into Charlie Kirk’s killing continues. Here’s what we know The assassination continues to reverberate across the US as investigators work to learn more about Kirk's killing and the 22-year-old alleged to have done it.

“Clearly, there was a lot of gaming going on …” the Republican governor told NBC News.

Stay unhinged, US politics.

Tell you what tho, the 70,000 plus people who left for australia are definitely not going to concerts in NZ. Nor are all the people out of a job. Or the people barely making ends meet whose housing/food costs are taking up all their income. Or the people who are sick all the time.

Some people might say infrastructure architecture is boring. There would be more but most people have never heard of it because it is, in fact, very boring.

On behalf of Matt and Maria Raine, we are suing OpenAI and Sam Altman, for ChatGPT’s role in aiding their son Adam’s suicide. The complaint emphasizes the company’s rush to deploy and promote their product despite clear safety issues, with users ultimately suffering deadly consequences.

$200 extra to drive a RAV4: Will RUC changes help or hurt the climate? Universal road user charges will change the way drivers of our 3 million petrol vehicles contribute to the cost of roads.

“(Universal RUCs) would increase the running costs of the lowest-emitting hybrids by 39 percent - while lowering by 6 percent the cost to run the most gas guzzling petrol cars, models that burn 10 litres or more of fuel per hundred kms.”
It’s on purpose.

Privatisation. Sigh.
"Private firms (will be) taking over the collection and administration of (road user) charges."
Therefore, Fleur Fitzsimons said, "The only people who will see any benefit from this scheme are the corporates who take their cut to gather the tax."
