Ah haha oh god, VUW English Department is closing its Facebook page because Meta AI is automatically responding to comments there like it is the actual English Department. I don't actually know how this is not illegal.

Great white sharks can jump higher than the average house. This is because of powerful muscles, a sleek fusiform shape, and the fact that most houses cannot jump.

Got me a solid shiver on as I remain outside, all in prep for returning. The most, er, insulated I’ve ever been. * cough * And no, it’s not the soul hurt and existential horror. Just cold.

It turns out the problem with the cancer drugs was that National didn't know about Pharmac so I've suggested a few other existing processes and pieces of legislation the government could also look into. Nobody can suggest I'm not helpful thespinoff.co.nz/politics/02-...

reminder that there was a time when they were literally selling radium soft drinks in the USA that were so toxic that the biggest fan of the brand had to be buried in a lead coffin because of how much radiation poisoning he got from them and this death led to the FDA regulations that exist now

Plus Trump lied CONSTANTLY throughout the debate and no one seems to care. And Biden and Kamala and his team have done a LOT of good work.

The NYT editorial board presents itself as like a wise adjunct group of strategists advising Democrats how to run their shop, but (a) it’s run and largely staffed by de facto Republican operatives and (b) it has no similar paternalistic scrutiny for Republicans.

Chatbots are not capable of understanding, or analysis, or even differentiating between truth and fiction. All they can do is fit together something that looks like language.
Which makes it desperately worrying when they are used for anything where facts matter.

Hey team. We have some bills to pay and we want to sue Bob McCoskrie of Family First for registering the domains we have a trademark on.
We are going to do a major crowdfunding in a few weeks.
But if you can spare 50 it would help us so much.
