    New Zealand election year

    Where we're at at the moment: National is plunging in polls, and Chris Luxon is very unpopular. Luxon called a leadership vote in his party last weekend, which resulted in him winning, though no one is saying how much he won by. NZ First appears to be profiting from National's plunge, as their...

    New Zealand election year

    It's coming up to election time in NZ, so here's a rundown of where the country is at politically. May be slightly biased. Our current government is a right wing coalition made up of National, ACT and NZ First. Their main achievements so far have been raising unemployment back up to the level...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Judging by the security footage, there's a hole in that security doesn't expect someone to be running really fast. Less Agent 47 and more Sonic the Hedgehog.

    I was going to make a joke about "claw" just reminding me of the villain from Inspector Gadget, but I googled and there is an actual AI tool out there named "Dr Claw". In conclusion: *facepalm*

    Is this real?? I don't get what vibe "claw" is supposed to convey. Also saying "a personal AI assistant got me a job at Microsoft" definitely makes it sound like they cheated to get a job they were unsuited for.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Several of the MPs in the new government are ex-tobacco lobbyists, I'm sure no one will be surprised to hear. We have another election coming up in November, so fingers crossed we can kick them back out.

    Transformers Cyberworld: Spoopy Ocean Times

    It looks way too accurate to be an AI image. Maybe from a cut shot or they just made a bespoke thumbnail for it.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    I mean, that's true, but the FBI was still breached on Kash Patel's watch.

    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    The UK can block overseas sites, so it's surprising they haven't done that with 4chan already. I know there are ways around internet blocks, but the fact they haven't even bothered to do that much is odd.

    It doesn't say anything there about the crowd correcting themselves though? Schlapp asks if anyone wants impeachment hearings, gets cheers, asks again, gets cheers again. I'm undecided on whether they genuinely wanted Trump impeached, misheard Schlapp, or thought he meant impeaching Joe Biden...

    the algorithm could well have picked up a solution meant for a small system and applied it to Amazon's more complex system, and since it's just a series of if/then statements, there's no functioning intelligence to stop and go "hey, wait a minute"
