  • Further info found from LinkedIn;

    Extensive foundation setting had occurred to ensure appropriate and safe use.

    With permission I use copilot/gpt4 for my master degree, and my goodness it helps significantly with getting started with an assignment. Yes, it requires polishing, fact checking etc. But I really resonate with the inertia or starting from scratch issue.

    Would love to see a cost benefit analysis though - obv. Microsoft is out to earn a profit, so wonder if this is a win win situation or not.


  • In the old days of 5 days a week in office, people would only grab a coffee or snack/lunch once or twice a week.

    In the new world, with people coming into the office twice/thrice a week, they now grab coffee/lunch every office day as a treat, with the extra costs being offset by less spent on transport.

    Also, this is just another step in the wrong direction climate wise. Aren’t we meant to be reducing transport and our carbon footprint? Maybe first focus on improving public transport before making statements such as these that will inevitably lead to more vehicle traffic and congestion onto our roads.






  • Watching from over here in New Zealand and if your reply to the thoughtful comment above you is - “he didn’t raise minimum wage enough” - 1. You don’t understand jack shit about economics, and 2. You forgot to adress all of the other points raised. But oh, your threatening to go vote against your own interests to spite this anonymous dude online.

    You are everything that is wrong with this world and I’m glad that I live far enough away that it won’t affect me. Fuck you and do what you want.




  • Like, it’s great that this line of income exists for ministers/prime ministers that genuinely need it to be able to live in Wellington. For example if an average New Zealander got into parliament.

    However the hipocrisy from this man is unreal. This is using the electric car rebate but critising the hell out of it and scrapping it as soon as he could, but on a whole other level.

    If housing is an issue in Wellington (it is) actively work on fixing it as opposed to providing crazy subsidies to ministers.

    Luxon mentions people on the benefit needing a crackdown as there are people living on taxpaplyer money who shouldn’t, what the fuck is he doing claiming all of these extras?

    Time to bring in means testing for the benefits our ministers can access.
