[Mr Drag]

I’m strongly of the belief technology and ai will solve a lot of the worlds problems around climate change, scientific advancement, enhanced food production and solve poverty to make us all better off. But I see it a long way off and with human nature, as our needs are met, we will just demand more and more and always feel we don’t have enough.

Ai definitely has its advantages - I call on it sometimes at work - but it’s way above my comprehension to fully understand any existential threat. It is scary how much it can ‘understand’ and could potentially outwit us. But like a Pandora’s box, once it’s unleashed is there any way of holding it back?

Personally I don’t worry to much. It’s like with the threat of nuclear war, it’s out of my control so no point stressing to much about it.

How long before māori call AI racist against māori!

How long before Maori call AI racist against Maori!

Already happened bro!

Experts fear AI's influence on te reo Maori

Artificial Intelligence stirs up fears that it's coming for our jobs, our schooling, and even our very existence. Now te reo Maori and data sovereignty experts are raising another red flag - ChatGPT might be getting just a little too good at te reo. They fear that sooner or later the language...

Why the anti-māori sentiment?

That is not māori calling AI racist against māori?

This one then? Ai will racially profile māori and arrested more…

I’m more worried about all these new speed cameras profiling us productive people that need to get places in a hurry!

Prejudiced AI systems could result in more Māori being arrested or falsely accused of crimes, expert warns

Karaitiana Taiuru called police’s new research programme a positive despite having some reservations.

Aren't those fair concerns considering it has literally had that problem in the US?

Well let’s just defer to our resident expert @WarriorBot

Are you racist? Do you discriminate against māori?

Are you entitled to you use Te Reo, if māori own data sovereignty over the language and all things māori?

Do you have the right to do a karakia if it is taonga?

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Well that’s convenient - ask the hard questions and he doesn’t want to answer!

 

[juju]

Look at the bafoon's we've install in government.

 

[Lord Gnome of Mooloolaba]

We've been an international laughing stock each day of this government so far - can they keep it up?

 

[juju]

Quite different to the $250 per fornight election bribe isn't it...

At least the coalition has been able to deliver for Landlords, Gun Lobby Groups financed by the NRA & the tobacco industry.

Analysis: Low-income families get up to $38 per week less to close Budget hole

Coalition talks have cost National dearly.

When you read the coalition agreements its clearly an Act government in drag,

 

[defensivebomb]

Democracy sucks eh

That's the ironic part isn't it - National got the highest votes, have the master negotiator / merger and acquisitions expert, but what policies of theirs have actually been adopted?

True - Should have just quoted that every time you have a whinge in this thread the past however many years.

haha yes fair point. Although there is no evidence of me whinging over the many years

The new govt has basically removed the government telling us what to do:

The govt won’t decide who smokes, owns gun, what language we speak, what transport to use, etc.

All the people on here complaining that the government isn’t telling us what to do need to reflect on why the last govt was hated so much… the whinging and mock outrage is very entertaining!

Helen Clarke got turfed when they started telling us what shower heads to use as well. I can’t believe some of you are so into communism

 

[MaybeTop8]

It's not democracy to lie, to not even remotely stick to what you promised, and to shape policy based on your financial backing. Nice trolling though

 

[Damo]

The govt won’t decide who smokes, owns gun, what language we speak, what transport to use, etc.

The only one of these that was true is smoking with it (eventually) being phased out.
You can own a gun, speak any language you want and use whatever transport you want, I have never been forced to do anything against my will.

It's hard to be polite with any of this.

Fuck everyone else eh, that's the mantra of this government. The cult of the individual, the billionaire, the wealthy.

Who cares about community right? Who cares that the poor are getting reamed again - they're being told what to do. māori are being told left right and centre what to do by this racist government.

Smoking? Decided through poison and addiction. Guns? Guns are a privilege, not a right. They don't belong in a normal society.

Whinging and mock outrage - you've just described the right for the last 6 years, bullshitting their way very cleverly to power, no facts, backed with wealthy elite money.

You lefties are starting to sound worse than Indian cricket supporters!
