The reliance on AI explains this quite a lot now I think!
#nzpol This snippet with quotes from Amanda Luxon from Luke Malpass's at times fawning profile of Luxon in Sunday's Star-Times is very revealing "...one of the top CEOs in the world coming in and fixing a country that's almost bankrupt...The knowledge that he lacked in politics is easy to acquire"🙄

Our continuing reliance on the genocidal monster Elon Musk’s tools also really destroys a lot of US arguments about how we must be mindful about whose hardware and software we’re relying on.
(We SHOULD be, to be clear. And the argument is worthless as piss until Elon Musk is ruined and prosecuted).
(We SHOULD be, to be clear. And the argument is worthless as piss until Elon Musk is ruined and prosecuted).
You can sidle up to an argument that we should be cautious about embedding Chinese hardware / software in essential infrastructure (though, um, Starlink anyone?) but as an individual I am much more afraid of Google than I am of HUAWEI.
