@Alladdin1983@ap_org Problem is that the CIA intentionally hires people with antisocial traits, especially case officers. These are precisely the people who leave no measurable indicator when lying. So the polygraph is only useful for coercing confessions anyway, as it always has been.
@ap_org@Alladdin1983 Yes, just like a pretend psychic can read anything from tea leaves, a polygraph operator can frame the results how they want. Someone can take the test and the know what operator wants, thus I guess countermeasure it. Still all nonsense.
@ap_org@Alladdin1983 Respectfully, even you overstate their capabilities. Polygraphs don't reliably detect anything at all, so countermeasuring them is redundant.
@JosephMooneyMP Can you just quit and do PR for Anthropic or something? Southland needs an MP that focused on the stuff that matters to them. And besides, AI is a new technology that hasn't been widely diffused. You cannot know whether it will take jobs or not.
@MahakalaOf@Larry_D0g@Liquid_Times The only thing you need is remedial English. In fact, it generally my experience most New Zealanders on this website do.
@Mountain_Tui This is so low IQ. Every mainstream political movement has think tanks and advocacy groups, and so does the Right. Even if ACT did get its policy from the Atlas Network, that'd be entirely legitimate. The philosophy of the left in this country is entirely imported too.
@Liquid_Times Moronic logic. When you're a nation as small as New Zealand, every helicopter counts, and these helicopters are the most sophisticated in the world. That's why our Navy and every military across the globe wants them. They are purchased not only by us, but many developed nations.
@Larry_D0g@Liquid_Times These are the helicopters that military staff across the globe want. This would have been the helicopter of choice for our Navy. You can buy Russian helicopters and crash into the dirt.
@Larry_D0g@Liquid_Times I have flown in an older variant of these helicopters. They are very advanced helicopters with electronic warfare capabilities state of the art counter-measures. If you think it is a good idea to buy inferior products from other nations, to own the US, then advocate for that.
@SaulWgmi Best answer is 20k per minute cause 2k per second will be too much money, so much it'd have an inflationary effect and bring you a lot of heat.
@PeladoNerd Why do these shit vibe-coded sites default to dark mode when clearly light mode is standard? AGI just around the corner. The frondend.md has done so much damage to the internet. This looks horrible
“What the fuck are you doing? You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."

@Pazienza82 The NSRG takes the information from the GSCB and NZSIS (our intelligence agencies), then gives advice to Cabinet/the PM. It is the last step in our national security apparatus. For whatever reason, our current government is increasing intelligence capacity across the board.
@Pazienza82 The name is a misnomer. The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet is an important Govt agency unto itself. It provides important services to Cabinet and the Governor-General, plus its National Security and Resilience Group (NSRG) is basically our National Security Council
