Hmm. The PhD study does sound like it’s more to benefit her career as an author and her activism than NZ as a whole, but I can see why, in theory at least, a PhD is worthwhile for public interest.

Collins told RNZ she already uses ChatGPT to write drafts of her speeches.
She seems exactly the type. There’s something about AI enthusiasts I really don’t like, and I find it difficult to put into words, but it’s a certain combination of undeserved optimism and for the technology, an unshakeable belief that it will solve all our problems, and perhaps the most infuriating thing, a blindness to just how fucking weird AI responses typically are.
And given that Judith is probably a lizard person in a skin suit, it doesn’t surprise me she’s blind to AI weirdness.
Quite interesting to see what her field is, at least.
That’s why I’m asking.
My question is, is a PhD thesis as important as this person thinks it is?
And I suspect she will spend an absurd amount of time and money doubling down on her mistake.
She sounds like a massive pain in the ass, and the story is written to be sympathetic to her. I don’t blame the employees for getting annoyed, but putting something like this in writing is just dumb.
What’s so important about a PhD that justifies this level of access, anyway? How does it benefit NZ?
That is kinda depressing that we built houses on the same land that got flooded after Gabrielle.
Looking at the track, they basically did a gradual turn to the right until they ran aground. I imagine someone would have overridden the captain if that happened, they likely lost control over the steering.
I suspect the tobacco was headed their way already, the robbery sounds like a failed attempt to CYA.
One of the reasons people turned against Al Capone was because his men impersonated the police, it’s taken seriously for a very good reason.
Yeah, I read that and thought the same thing.
The apprehension part sounds quite confusing if the offender was in uniform, although he was probably pretending to be a detective. Also, the premise behind this sounds so incredibly far fetched it’s not funny.
From what I know about Transpower, the investigation and paperwork from this will be intense.
I bet you could hear a pin drop on site after that tower came down.
It’s quite funny he didn’t even show up and still won.
Sorta, that was a loss of propulsion, rather than loss of steering control.
Yup, Bluebridge and Interislander both had it happen about a week apart.
They seem to have cock ups around the same time as each other quite often, come to think of it. They both were down to one working boat each not very long ago.
Not a single comment you’ve made has added anything of value to the conversation, do you realise that?
