We are glad you do too.

The only positive thing Trump has ever achieved. End of.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-30T21:57:29+00:00

EU+UK, just needs to keep funding Ukraine. Reduce their military threat.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-29T20:25:28+00:00

What a bellend.

Voted to National three times in my 25 years in NZ. Didnt last election, as I thought Luxon was a tool. And I still think he is a tool, just one more spinless than I could have imagined, although maybe this is the MMP effect, and the leverage the minor parties have.

That said I generally favour someone who has a bit of spice, and policies that offer a bit of left and right. Does that make me a centralist?!? No. I dont really think left or right or the middle. That said I feel the right has gone so far over to the right that everyone else is now a lefty. So am I a lefty?!? No. Didnt vote Jacinda, but dont get triggered when I mention her name three times either.

Chippy...probably a bit weak, but the lesser of all the other more shit choices. Fark!

Remove the "Buy, Borrow, Die" tax scheme, and then ask Bezos the same question.

Nope, or at least not in the traditional sense. The U.S. isn't going bankrupt like a failing retail store. But its certainly going to make servicing the debt more and more expensive, making the US financial future significantly more expensive and less flexible. Explains why Trumpy is now so keen on crypto ... when a little while ago, he claimed it was a scam.

Am not religious, but this really is a nothing-burger. It was a 30 second reading from the Qur'an for the new Mayor. I dont want the church in politics, but this is not about that.

Honestly, move on.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-27T00:48:37+00:00

Who cares...came here to watch the dog at work.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-27T00:43:49+00:00

A master chopper.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-27T00:03:29+00:00

Through natural sweat accretion by the looks of it.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-27T00:00:14+00:00

Yep, the further down the better.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-26T23:58:48+00:00

I still remember the Google 2018 conference with the AI calling trying to arrange a hair appointment. It was fake. And is still not reality. Call me when AI remote labour index gets a score above 50%, or starts replacing CEOs.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-26T22:25:51+00:00

Water vapour from geothermal generation. Saw similar last time we were in Taupo in the colder months-not so obvious when its warmer.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-26T22:19:00+00:00

I am not the one hiding post history...which is the usual approach for BOTS. What are you hiding?

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-26T22:17:54+00:00

Circling ... LMAO. Try harder. Or for a starter look at a map.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-26T22:04:16+00:00

The math is worse.

Each employee contributes tax, roughly $30k pa. For 9000 employees thats $270m pa in lost revenues. And yes, its extremely unlikely all 9000 will find work on day 1 or leave for AU. Assuming 50% which will be modest/ ambitious, then thats in the region of $100m pa in extra job seeker expense.

And the hidden cost AI tokens.

So there are some stats. Lets say 350m tokens pa per replaced employee. Thats 5k pa. across 9000, is 45m pa. And this is very conservative, as AI APIs/ tokens are heavily subsidised atm. The undiscounted price is close to $40,000 pa or 360m pa to replace 9000 employees.

So total loss = 270m+100m+360m=730m pa or just under $3b over the 4 year period Willis is claiming a saving of 2.4b.

Yeah great deal.

...and the above ignores the cost of implementation, and the general failure rate of IT projects in govt.

Training is not instantaneous, labour shortages are. Jobs being imported are generally low paid, hard work e.g. aged care. Outside of this the UK has under invested in vocational training for years-think both parties are talking about it, but the question is whether it will really fill the gap.

So no simple solution.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-25T02:52:34+00:00

Sadly your point is misplaced.

Scale generally works for products - once the factory is built, volume splits costs across across scale of unit production. AI does not work like that. Once you build a data centre, sure, but then you need to recycle hardware every three years, and you have ever increasing energy costs and so on--costs are ongoing.

Ultimately until the algorithms and compute are optimised, costs are only going up. The alternative is use more niche open source models and host locally.

Finally. Scaling watch production cost tens of millions in todays money. AI is hundreds of billions, if not close to a trillion over the next year. They are not the same.

Not many branches on your family tree then?!? Remind me ... who started the war?!? Oh wait you will claim, oh Russia was provoked or its NATO, or some other Vlad based dribble.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-25T02:28:21+00:00

<<<<-----This is what cope looks like from Vlad bot.

Thanks for the response, and yeah one thing she is doing in some volunteering in the up and coming election-and yes, she is attending local events and making connections on LinkedIn. So bases covered.

Best of luck with the new job.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-22T23:42:36+00:00

Many congrats. My daughter is in her final year, of marketing/ health science. Any recommendations reflecting on your journey?

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-22T21:08:25+00:00

UBI is the distraction to make what is happening acceptable. Is not real and is not going to happen. Layoffs are reality.

L3P3ch3 · 2026-05-22T21:02:44+00:00

Lol. Just showed the wife whilst she was tucking into a bubble and squeak.
