Keeping my account around on here, will still check in mostly because YIMBY-posting on this cursed platform is still needed, but this time we do actually have the critical mass to move to The Other Place. @andrew.donnellan.id.au

@oscarcsims "powerful bad force is going to ruin us" is coherent, as opposed to "bad thing that is also fake, doesn't work, no-one wants it is going to ruin us"

@ajdlinux Actually, comparison with the Luddites is probably the wrong one, since they at least were aware the world was about to change

@ajdlinux I mean where is the hard technical line right? ‘Attention is all you need’? Are RNNs ontologically Good and Transformers ontologically Evil?

@truckasaurusnex planning law provides a surprising number of opportunities to engage in deep philosophical thinking on questions like "what does it mean for a principal private open space to be open"

@oscarcsims I sympathise a *lot* with the anti-AI cause but can they stop saying things so obviously silly

@oscarcsims obviously we know that people are referring to LLMs+diffusion models, but LLMs are of course quickly becoming part of the chain in many things that used to be just old fashioned ML

@oscarcsims is it the acquirer, the issuer, the card network, the payment processor, the merchant, or any/all of the above running ML models on each card transaction

@oscarcsims how many distinct systems that could be described as AI are triggered when you enter a destination into Google Maps for directions

@oscarcsims sorry, of course, I defer to your cultural knowledge. gotta be open minded about this, maybe it is actually key to the whole system

@ajdlinux These are all very culturally important and essential roles. Very hard to translate from Finnish into English

Wait how did I miss this Thank you Mr Mowbray - very cool. I strongly agree that we should adopt a Finnish style tax-and-transfer system to fund this and a digital ID system to improve the efficiency of public service delivery

WILD. Comparing the NZ government structure to Finland’s. A picture says 1000 words !! Both countries have similar populations (5.5M). The structures behind are very different. Finland: • 12 core ministries • Clear vertical accountability • Defined ownership • Built for speed, clarity, and execution New Zealand: • 40+ departments • 80+ ministerial portfolios • Layers of overlapping responsibility • Super-ministries reporting across multiple ministers The result? Accountability blur. No improvement. Massive waste. In any high-performing organisation, if everyone is responsible, no one is. NZ has exceptional people. But we need systems designed to deliver outcomes, not a birds-nest structure that creates no improvement or efficiency. Fixing this will be a HUGE unlock on NZ long term. All parties should come together in a bi partisan way to sort this out.@actparty @NZNationalParty @nzfirst @nzlabour

@tc1415 has an MP ever been denied the traditional resignation offices? imagining a crisis where a politician must desperately apply for every Civil Service job listing they see instead

Has Josh Simons actually been appointed to one of the "disqualifying offices" yet? Because if not, Reeves, in whose gift those two offices are, has the opportunity to be very annoying...

@jonobri @disco___cat this feels like a logical extension given we took speed/red light cameras and turned them into instant speed, average speed, red light, mobile phone and seat belt cameras

@mumbletwits would much prefer some wording like "You need to number at least 6 boxes" followed by "this partially complete vote would be counted under the vote-saving provision, however to satisfy the voting rules you must number at least 6 boxes" or whatever

Me in favour of implied little lie AEC tells voters about voting for Senate, namely (if ATL) to number at least 6, but was pointed out to me 2day that if you practice on their url, & just number 1, you get this. Is too blatantly false, even for me. aec.gov.au/Voting/How_to_…
