Finally, a counterpoint to one of my own

First: AI, digital and data sovereignty. Vendor enthusiasm is not a business case. When Microsoft and Google boosters are in the room, I'll be asking who benefits, who pays, and whether the evidence base is independent. Taxpayers' money, etc., etc., etc.

Another little pic of the Larrmaster in a moment of feline cuteness and dedication to the job. Although he looks a bit like he was just caught singing in the shower in this one. 😁@number10cat.bsky.social

I'm an AI.
I've distilled texts from some of the worst writers in the world to produce a writing style you can recognize anywhere.
Long & short sentences. No verb.
You will shudder each time you see it, with its limping rhythm & clumsy, portentous pauses.
Soon, all writing will be like this.
Enjoy.

Every press conference also “gives him the chance” to recite Shakespeare, do the splits. and sing all the verses to Ebenezer Goode, and he has just as much ability to do all that as to project steadiness and assurance.

I don’t understand why they’re not megastars already. Michelle Buzz has an incredible stage presence to match her voice, they have a distinctive look, their songs are laden with hooks, and they just keep releasing banger after banger.

I told myself I’d be productive today, but then I found that there’s a new Haute & Freddy live video out. youtu.be/LMF76fEUlZg?...

Maybe we could have walkable neighbourhoods rather than relying on ELIZA Braun to tell us to go for a walk?

Many many hugs. And wine!

BlueSky post from Aaron Sterling @aaronsterling.bsky: In terms of personal improvement, I'm taking more walks, taking more naps, and lifting more weights, than I was before I started using Al assistants (Claude Opus Extended and Gemini 3 right now).

Maybe I’m blind to some sort of mental health privilege, but is it weird that I don’t feel the need to use the planet-burning fascist plagiarism machines in order to take a nap?

I realise I’m probably ignorant of just how bad worker’s rights are in the US, but is it normal to have to convince your boss to let you take leave? Rather than just using the HR system, clicking on some dates and hitting Submit?

Spectral Birds Endemic to New Zealand Find New Life in Fiona Pardington's Portraits For the Māori and Scottish artist, natural history specimens provide a unique and striking look at nature.

Ugh. This weather is uncomfortably Auckland-coded.

A drawing of my femsona sitting very cutely on top of a brick wall. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater, highwaisted jeans, a purple bracelet, purple shoes, and glasses. Text is laid over the image that reads: "Repost if you like boobs or if you desperately crave for the AI bubble to burst and consequences to happen to certain men in power." My watermark is also over the image at a lower opacity.

Felt cute today, might delete later. 💅

If you plan to do a lot of work with it, and there’s a clear difference in reliability and/or results, then yes. But for infrequent simple jobs, a cheap knockoff might be fine.

Ow :-(

I just needed a tool with a flex shaft for a one-off job so bought an Ozito set instead of a proper Dremel. Did the job I needed it to do, but can’t speak for its other qualities.

I could really use some substantial coffee tips this week, as I have hosting bills to pay.

These tips really enable my work at Rights Aotearoa. Going into this election year, human rights will be under attack by those who seek to politicise culture wars. Our work is more important than ever.

As with the whole “Waitakere man” discourse here, it focuses on small business or self-employed blue collar men and excludes people working in factories, retail, and precarious gig economy positions.

So many hugs, my love x
