Blue Mountains Campus Behind Schedule

Michael from Trentham

Kiwi Rail were once expecting to shift into BMC in Ward Street, Trentham this month (December) but now it will not be happening until April 2023. And the other notable tenant at this stage, Ministry of Business Innovation & Employment will wait until near the end of 2023.

Obviously no other occupancy can be made until nearer next April either.

So those in the public arena wishing to utilise the campus cafe with its pleasant indoor-outdoor aspects will also have to wait.

Right now the stage one Buddle Building and its surrounds including vehicle parking areas seem a long way off being ready to go.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

Possible AI Phone Scam

Gareth from Waikanae

I received a phone call today that announced its self as an AI, asking if I would answer a few questions. I told it to "go away" in no uncertain terms. It sounded frighteningly human but its replies were a bit off on timing and if you weren't on the ball or just woken up you could end up giving out information to an unknown AI bot. AI has taken over virtually everything that you see online as any form of video, even of people you believed you know.
Here are the numbers that I have been able to track down as being in use at present. It is Auckland but the 242 area code appears not to exist. You now need to be very, very careful now answering your phone calls.

Confirmed (at present) numbers used by this AI scam
All Auckland, or so it appears.
BUT area code 242 doesn't exist as far as I can see.
