End of November, I think?

all of this is basically a trojan horse for my sinking feeling right now that generative AI will be 'good enough' and that's...potentially a very bad outcome!
Good enough has been keeping me up at night. Because good enough would likely mean that not enough people recognize what’s really being built—and what’s being sacrificed—until it’s too late. What if the real doomer scenario is that we pollute the internet and the planet, reorient our economy and leverage ourselves, outsource big chunks of our minds, realign our geopolitics and culture, and fight endlessly over a technology that never comes close to delivering on its grandest promises? What if we spend so much time waiting and arguing that we fail to marshal our energy toward addressing the problems that exist here and now? That would be a tragedy—the product of a mass delusion. What scares me the most about this scenario is that it’s the only one that doesn’t sound all that insane.

DEI for Pākehā middle and upper class men has *already* persisted for decades. It's just not formally recognised.

You can't bleat about gaps between men and women and also rail against health promotion and care specific to Māori (and Pacific). Within group difference (different kinds of men) makes sense of these gaps, not between group difference (men and women). But ACT know this...

As someone who has researched men and men's health for two decades, these same trite (and snarky) arguments don't make sense when we know the gaps between men and women can only be understood through other intersections. It's not all men (in the opposite way this is usually deployed).
