All I do is try and make the software supporting the South Island health system better #HealthIT he/him

@LI_politico All the AI hype is garbage. They don’t “think”, they just regurgitate stolen content with some pseudo randomness thrown in. There’s billions of dollars of sunk cost pushing AI as something useful to try and make their investment pay off.

@LI_politico The names are funny, much more so than the pain :( . Hope it's not too bad and you're able to rest it. I've given myself tennis/golfer's elbow a number of times in unusual ways (likely due to a mild predisposition) and it sucks a LOT.

@DylanReeve Don’t we have a thing where being denied entry elsewhere can be sufficient to deny here? I have a memory of a holocaust denier being denied entry to NZ due to a Canadian denial

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@1NewsNZ Make everything run like shit so they can privatize, same thing been going in the uk for years.

@GaryPayinda Was disappointed to see your recent retweet of a horrific transphobe (vulvamort), please reconsider boosting an account that features hatred

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@mikejbain @StrayDogNZ I think you forgot quite an important one on this timeline

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@dimsie @mrJeffHowell I have just been declined the messages from Bishop’s phone because apparently it’s too much research or collation…. Already with the Ombudsman

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@LI_politico There appears to be a lot of more severe than usual sickness going round. I’m just getting over nearly two weeks what was apparently Strep and many others I know are having similar experiences despite not having contact that could mean it’s all one infection chain

@CHERYL670951717 @gtiso @dimsie @PaulMartinCA @RicardaoNZ @biggsintweets @Feebeekiwi Not now Cheryl, we're all a bit breathless from laughing at what just happened.

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@gtiso @dimsie @PaulMartinCA @RicardaoNZ @biggsintweets @Feebeekiwi It worked!

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@PaulMartinCA @dimsie Quick question though. How do you feel you're tracking against the Chartered Accounts Code of Ethics? You certainly don't seem to be acting in a professional way....

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@LI_politico AI: it doesn’t work but boy is it trendy

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@Indiratweets It didn’t get rid of Gerry Brownlee when he physically assaulted someone and threatened them. Or when he insulted and belittled a junior lawyer over the phone. Or when he broke CAA laws by forcing his way through a security door and lies about it….

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@ryancrawcour @DylanReeve Yes, capped at $1500 per year. So 5 times the amount Solo costs. Solo also takes the approach of reading the IRD and Bank feed rather than having money paid to Hnry first for it to then pass on. Seemed preferable to me

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@DylanReeve I use Solo and it's been great so far for my "contractor through a firm" use case. Cheaper than Xero, does more of the things I need and less that I don't. Comparing it to Hnry it was a no-brainer given Hnry want 1% of my income as opposed to $300 per year.

@EricCrampton @ProfEdwardsNZ Shut up big tobacco mouthpiece

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@GaryPayinda It goes on to include suggestions that NZ Police should also protect themselves using this product. The scare tactic is being pushed by the company to make sales. I’ve complained about the complete lies in the article and will take it to the Media Council if not 100% retracted

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@GaryPayinda They announced this at a conference half run by Medicines NZ, the industry org for pharma companies. It may well be too late

[Gavin M @gavinmNZ]

@chsaotearoa Making a Media Council complaint may be worthwhile. Opinion columns which contain factual information do have to get the facts right. As you rightly point out this column doesn’t do that, and that’s despite being written by a known fraudster and well known idiot
