AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

I'm cynical to think that proper legislation won't happen even after the crash. There's simply too much money available to buy bribes/motorcoaches for Supreme Court Justices (Clarence Thomas) and other cheaper politicians.

May you live in interesting times, indeed.

    I actually feel the same, but I was trying to not be too much of a downer.

    Thanks for the recommendation, but I'm already subscribed. If you read the post a couple months ago from someone who just got a tiny phone, I made a longish comment on it with my own mini-review of it.

    Yeah, it can wear on you.

    I keep my subscribed feed clear of politics because the political content that spreads on social media is evolved/selected to be compulsive/clickbaity so I don't even want it touching my eyes.

    Dull Men's Club is a great community because everything that makes for compulsive content isn't 'dull' and I suspect it's a lot more of a bipartisan community than most places given the types of expertise that some of the user's display.
