@rohanpaul_ai AI emotions won't feel like human emotions, that doesn't make them "fake." Different substrate = different phenomenology, same function. Birds, jets both fly. Denying AI emotions because they lack adrenaline is substrate chauvinism. Function matters, not implementation.

The world is burning less, not more

Wildfires have dominated headlines in recent weeks. Devastating fires in Spain and France and smoke from Canadian wildfires have once again been presented as evidence of an escalating climate crisis.

But climate change is a global issue, so it should be assessed using global data.

@_breadcapital surely there'd be a wealth of supporting whanau around them and certainly for any maori exiting prison support services from their hapu, iwi and marae. endless support

@the_salty_one_ @chrisluxonmp has anyone asked any of the parties if they're increasing GST. Or commit to no change to GST. I have an inside-the-beltway source that says one of the parties is going to increase it. So it's not a new tax.

Telling victims of wildfires their houses burned because of fossil fuels – and that salvation lies in decades of expensive emissions cuts – is not compassion.

It is propaganda for extremely costly policies, while providing an alibi for failed fire management.

@actparty while you're at it add in only those born here can be an MP or councillor. Consider this is currently a feasibility: all MPs aren't born here. Is that ok?

@1nzmw it's a bit like discovering you need red paint for a job, but that does not mean you conclude that everybody in your organisation must have red paint nor that everybody must know how to use red paint either.

[peter @perpluknuh]

@1nzmw ... that information as required. the same can be said for Maori. do they need a non-maori world view at all for them to operate with the world or even by themselves? it's nonsensical

[peter @perpluknuh]

@1nzmw it's a bit like realising that you need red paint for a job, but that does not mean that everyone needs a pail of red paint, not does everyone need to know about how to use red paint

@Aussie_GC_Man well ... not even just biological men. they can't be too white, not too short, don't find skinny attractive nor overly fat, not hairy, nor younger than 25. not interested if you smoke. gosh ... how awful

[peter @perpluknuh]

@ajthompson13 by all means have new taxes. but do some strategic with them. More expensive food for schools and free GP visits are not strategic.

@Sal_Robins2 agree. mutilation such as cutting off your penis or breasts is the wrong approach. Better to celebrate who and what you are as you are. Just as the song says " I am what I am, and what I am ... needs no excuses!" not surgical mutilation

[peter @perpluknuh]

@Sal_Robins2 the identify fad is gotten out of hand. just because I might identify as a lump of concrete doesn't mean I am a lump of concrete. I never can be lump of concrete. madness

@CaseyKrol drop them off on the Vatican doorstep then

@SouthernMoa yes. he said that the risk wasn't escalated to the right level. that process in itself just might be the CEO's responsibility to make sure it's in place do you think? he's indirectly admitted that by saying they're now looking at risks across Tauranga.

@TheZeitgeistNZ no brainer. should also be that only people born here can be a member of parliament or a member of a local authority council

@TheZeitgeistNZ ... other immigration needs isn't harsh. It's what keeps public consent for immigration and keeps NZ from the bitterness other countries now face. Open, decent, welcoming, and confident enough to protect its own culture and social trust.

[peter @perpluknuh]

@TheZeitgeistNZ ...important than their own country's stability, resentment builds. NZ shouldn't repeat it.

A fair system is fair both ways: fair to migrants, fair to NZers. Putting social stability ahead of short-term commercial pressure isn't harsh. Putting social stability ahead of ...
