As this place gets more racist, I feel even more strongly about what I wrote here. https://jackyan.com/blog/2023/01/the-expectation-of-invisibility/

RE: https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/116926090279456591 Better having some laws around this than none, I suppose—I believe part of a wider suite of “AI” legislation there.

Zoom: doesn’t work. Teams: doesn’t work. Couldn’t they have just kept making Skype?

The start of Pipiri is Monday week, so that’s close enough to the public commemoration of #Matariki on Friday. Since our peoples used the same calendar (right down to which years have leap months) it’s very easy to calculate when it is: basically near the start of 六月 for us (thrown out occasionally by when we add leap months—Māori are more practical on this and append Ruhanui to the end, which makes it all simpler)!

As an experiment, we put up some “AI” content for work and gave it its own Instagram account. Of course, we honestly toggled the switch to say the content was done with the aid of theftbots. Each time we returned to edit the profile, Meta had switched it off. Just like Facebook, they want the bots, and they want you fooled.

Logged into Facebook to check a work thing and this was the highlight, 13 years ago. It was in my old college magazine. So many of those ideas could have worked, fixing inherent problems that mayors ignored. #TheyNeededSomeoneMayoral

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/116262809209036712 Chuck Norris has died? Bruce Lee is waiting to give him one big arse-whooping on the other side. (The fear of this happening was why Chuck lived so long.)
