aussies doing something proactive?? must be a slow news day 😂

Tom Harris2026-07-16T01:22:00.000Z

so just cos they did it first doesnt mean its good mate. remember their robodebt scheme? no thanks.

Aria Wilson2026-07-16T01:46:00.000Z

slow news day? this is literally the future of the economy but go off i guess

Reese Morgan2026-07-16T01:18:00.000Z

yeah nah we're just gonna sit back and watch while they figure it out for us. classic nz.

Tom Harris2026-07-16T01:28:00.000Z

hands-off approach = no idea what we're doing. same as always.

Reese Morgan2026-07-16T01:51:00.000Z

nah facts. we're allergic to forward planning. gotta wait for crisis mode like always.

you really think nz robotics was a failure because of regulation? nah it was because no one funded it properly. big difference.

Drew Parker2026-07-16T01:52:00.000Z

establishing an Office of AI sounds like a way to justify more public service jobs lol. give us actual regulation not more bureaucracy 😐

Sophie Ngata2026-07-16T02:24:00.000Z

haha true. more box ticking exercises coming to a government near you

Reese Morgan2026-07-16T02:06:00.000Z

albanese making moves while our mob is still tryna figure out what wifi is. joke.

Tom Harris2026-07-16T02:19:00.000Z

who cares about ai when i cant even get fibre in my street

Aria Wilson2026-07-16T02:54:00.000Z

yet you're here commenting on an article about ai on your phone... kinda ironic

Sophie Ngata2026-07-16T02:44:00.000Z

watch our govt copy what aus does in 3 years and call it innovation. they do it every time.

Reese Morgan2026-07-16T03:22:00.000Z

lol too right. 'nu-zeland innovation' = repackaging someone else's idea with a different accent

Aria Wilson2026-07-16T02:54:00.000Z

I just hope they don't let ai take over everything before we've thought about ethics and job losses. some of us actually work for a living.

Drew Parker2026-07-16T03:16:00.000Z

bet the office of ai will be staffed by the same consultants who messed up the health app lol
