I get visions of HAL or that Simpsons Halloween special with the sentient house.

I think using process is pretty important and urgency should be used when needed, not just to get a bunch of anti-the last regime policies through.

This is how I understand our governments movements. Everything they have done this with this time could have gone through proper process.

Our leader even said that his politicians were uninterested in hearing what experts in the fields think or what the longer term issues might be from the decisions.

What’s the percent chance that AI causes advancements and prosperity?

Sadly it feels (unsure about factual numbers) that NZ is heading to similar styles as the US in terms of politics.

Two elections ago our slightly right of centre main party used popularist Trump/MAGA style campaigning and got slammed for it.

However the latest govt has bypassed a bunch of good process (using urgency) to just repeel a bunch of stuff the previous govt put in place.

This could still happen. If he got back in again and I was Mexico I would be building that wall quick smart.
