  „I believe we should tax AI tokens and robots. Right now, if you’re an employer and you hire someone, you pay payroll taxes on their earnings. But if you buy a robot, you can usually write it off right away as a business expense. The tax system nudges you toward replacing people with machines. A tax would slow the rush away from human labor a little and raise money for retraining and a stronger safety net. It would need to be targeted so it does not slow down the purely beneficial uses of AI, li...

  Hey, I have an idea: how ’bout only eating plants? That’ll make you live longer, it doesn’t cause suffering (for you and others), it proliferates much less disease, it’s cheaper, and you’ll save the planet. Sounds good? 🌱 https://www.farms.com/ag-industry-news/meat-institute-pushes-back-on-trump-processing-plan-313.aspx

  @lexfri Many years ago Weird Al Yankovic came to the Eugene Fairgrounds and my kids were big Weird-Al-fans, being at the perfect age. We of course took the family and although I loved Weird Al in small quantities, I was expecting to sit through it, like an extended school recitle where there are a few short highlights but mostly suffering. Wow. It was AWESOME. Time FLEW by. I have never been more entertained, for two+ hours. Anyone reading this if you can ever attend a live Weird Al concert, GO!

  Even ignoring the cowardly passive Washington Post headline, this is deeply troubling. The mid terms will be the Acid Test for U.S. Democracy.

  “The public does not want to go back to the days of rampant old-growth clearcutting. They don’t want to go back to dead salmon and polluted rivers, or see their favorite places on public lands liquidated in order to maximize profits for the greedy few. These are treasured public lands, and we’re going to fight for them.” https://oregonwild.org/trump-admin-announces-old-growth-clearcutting-plan-for-western-oregon/

  In other words, OpenAI will do anything the Secretary of War tells them to: „The AI System will not be used to independently direct autonomous weapons in any case where law, regulation, or Department policy requires human control, nor will it be used to assume other high-stakes decisions that require approval by a human decisionmaker under the same authorities.“ https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-of-war/

  I canceled my OpenAI/ChatGPT subscription. The one thing that has prevented humanity from self-destructing is that ultimately, evil men had to convince ordinary people to do their bidding. Fully autonomous weapons eliminate that safeguard and must be banned now.

  Today I learned that nearly every modern car has four tire pressure sensors that broadcast a unique ID in clear text, so a basic Raspberry Pi scanner can track when your car is nearby. https://networks.imdea.org/your-cars-tire-sensors-could-be-used-to-track-you/

  @fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe Just a month ago, inside Outlook I asked CoPilot to analyze my calendar and tell me interesting facts like who I meet with most often, which times or weekdays are most common, etc. It responded by instructing me to export my calendar and upload the file. I wrote “But you’re Outlook! Don’t you have this info?” and it replied with some form of “You’re absolutely right! Now please export the file and upload it!” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
