Warm homes are not aspirational.
Affordable food, power and rent aren’t aspirational.
Health and social services that centre health and people are not aspirational.
These are not inspired ideas. They are basic, 101 hallmarks of a functioning country.
Leadership that gets that *would* be inspiring.

Here my hopes for Labour supporters (and potential Labour voters) after the conference. #nzpol
(This will not include policy since I don't know what'd appeal to that cohort.)
1) That Labour leadership understand the media landscape is the CoC govt's communications wing, and act accordingly.

There is a rumour that when Adam and Eve turned up in the Garden of Eden, Adam asked God "Who is this guy?" and pointed to Willie Nelson. God replied "Dunno, he was here when I arrived".

It gets way more complex than just statistics (what you described is essentially a Markov chain). One problem with LLMs is that they've been trained to make the user happy, and users generally don't know what the fuck they want and will be happy when they get _an_ answer.

The most maddening thing about this is that restoring inanga spawning habitat is really easy. Like, the easiest, fastest results I've seen in any project. We've got to stop monitoring towards extinction and actually start spending money on fixing the problems! www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Labour already did the "we are going to stick to a budget", it was first-term Ardern and National had been bad but not Luxon bad, had not done quite the generational damage that this lot have done. Why run a boring, mediocre playbook when you can point at National's idolisation of the US?

Quelle surprise. Of course it didn’t, it’s light weight. In NZ you can assault a woman and get a top job, you can get given the Chair of a committee if you spread salicious gossip about women & she gets hounded out of town. Women lose jobs and promotions for complaining about SA. #nzpol #rapeculture
An army boss sent a d... pic in uniform. It didn’t stop him getting a top job
A consensual explicit image sent on deployment was deemed ‘poor judgement’ but not a military offence.
