If you're having to go through a medical chart to ensure accuracy in response to an AI generated summary of a patient's chief complaint, hospital admission, etc., of what use is the implementation AI?

Dark day for working New Zealanders as the Employment Relations Amendment Bill passes - NZCTU The passing of the Employment Relations Amendment Bill is a dark day for working New Zealanders, says New Zealand Council of Trade Unions Te Kauae Kaimahi President Sandra Grey.

#nzpol The Employment Relations Amendment Bill has passed. This is a dark day for working New Zealanders.

Our Government has let Uber and the ACT Party set the agenda for employment law in this country. They need to grow a backbone and stand up for the interests of New Zealand workers.

I'd call it a joke but it isn't funny. What a waste of resources.

'The Royal Society has confirmed that it has secured support from enough libraries for it to make its eight subscription journals open access throughout 2026.' (What happens in 2027 or thereafter if there are insufficient subscribers is not addressed in the article). 1/2

But the thing that will make power bills cheaper is a $1b LNG terminal that will add an additional levy onto power bills

SIGNIFICANT TAX REVENUE, FOR NZ? Canadaian Owned Oceana Gold "the largest gold producer in the country and operator of Marcreas and Waihi mines paid no incomes tax in 2021 or 2023 on gold production worth hundreds of millions of dollars" RNZ 7th July 2025

These mining fast-track applicants don't appear to genuinely benefit New Zealand.

Removing limited resources, returning 2-5% royalties, and paying no tax.

Then we get lugged with clean up costs (like Tui oilfields that cost $500m for taxpayers to clean up)

Haha yes you have to find your own accommodation these days (unless you’re the VC in which case the deal is you HAVE to live in the provided house, at St Leonards). One is music and the other is student services, I think. Named after the first 4 profs, Black/Sale house and Scott/Shand.

It’s reckless in the extreme.

I know! They still look pretty good but I must admit I like the hedges they used to have. alumni.otago.ac.nz/document.doc...

The wiki games display

Been a busy week prepping for O Week next week. I made a “Can I trust Wikipedia?” Game, a poll about Wikipedia and AI, and two displays of Wiki-based games for students queuing for their ID cards. And a stack of “what can a Wikimedian in Residence do for you?” flyers. Phew, roll on Monday!

Relying on tug boat from Australia risks lives, council leaders say Leaders on both sides of Cook Strait say lives could be put at risk due to its emergency tug being off-contract from this month.

Government relaxed about having no emergency capacity in Cook Strait. How much is a boatload of people worth anyway?

Luxon's govt have introduced voting restrictions for 2026. They removed day enrolment for voters. This means that you, your friends and your whānau have to actively enrol by the end of October. Please check your enrolment status at vote.nz and encourage everyone you know to do the same. #NZPol
