Public Service Announcement;
this digital popularization service is STILL ACTIVE. It was just forced (*) to pass through Substack first: https://buff.ly/3kUUu59
TIA for subscribing, sharing it, suggesting topics, & any directly support you can give
(*) see https://buff.ly/3SHhe5L
For REALLY DUMB objections to #UBI, see these screenshots.
I am still waiting for explanations, possibly ones that make sense
If #universalBasicIncome is impossible or intrinsically wrong, it's surely not for "reasons" like these:
This is GREAT.
People who buy this kind of stuff DESERVE to be bricked. They asked for it.
If from #Amazon, they asked twice:
The last 2 bullets of this list make a LOT of sense. The first is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE mistake, with #music or any other kind of digital document. See why here

Turns out at least ONE report said the right thing out loud:
Americans could decrease their needs of strategic raw materials up to 90% by simply stopping to be the Americans they are today.
PS: same for every other 1st world country, of course
PPS: not that there alternatives, see https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/no-petroleum-and-minerals-no-problem
Those in the screenshot are exactly what should be the "Type E" buildings I argue should be taken down asap to have good cities in 2070

Speaking of #AI #ArtificialIntelligence vs human intelligence or ignorance...
I find the fact that the journalist felt the need to include the answers to the puzzles that defeat chatbots a bit depressing.
Do you?

Hi, I'm your #AI assistant.
I can help you to write about any topic
ME: sure, summarize this:
NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO
you are all getting #UBI and #ArtificialIntelligence / #AI ...
BACKWARDS. Almost literally.
I mean it: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/ubi-ai-and-reality-always-in-the
Whoever believes that bits and files are more fragile than paper, books, vinyl and similar is 10000% WRONG.
Period. Time to end this myth:

Just replace "computers" with #smartphones, and "Pentium" with #iPhone, and it's still 100% valid advice.
From **1998** (heck, Google didn't even exist yet):
is #UBI really "UBI is a terrible idea. The foundation of a punishment-based social credit system of technocracy" ?
Please tell. But ONLY after reading the whole thing as in the screenshot, thanks:

#Melbourne is just the last city to acknowledge that RENTED e-scooters were a a STUPID, unsustainable idea:
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/15/travel/melbourne-electric-scooter-rental-ban-intl-hnk/index.html
will they move now to E-SCOOTERS DONE RIGHT, like this:

or not? Fingers crossed
Can anybody please provide sources with specific examples of "American soldiers sabotaging equipment to oppose automation of #Vietnam war"??? Thx

The not-needed-at-all, but coolest nerdy thing I've seen this year:
"an 8-bit accordion primarily made of C64s, floppy disks, and gaffer tape"
"It started to feel like I was the robot" is EXACTLY what I wrote 7 years ago:

So, first read here how it's happening now:
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240612-the-people-making-ai-sound-more-human
and then subscribe to newsletters like mine, which are and will remain human:
#AI, #parenting, peak #energy, REALLY smart homes and cities...
check the screenshots for thoughts and PROPOSALS about these and many more crucial topics seldom covered as I do in my newsletter... and then subscribe, of course! (thanks for sharing the invitation as much as you see fit)
car maker says lots to show how advanced its #driverless car is:
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a61423917/rimac-autonomous-verne-robotaxi/
but I bet you anything that they count on convincing many with just the right half of THIS one, shrewdly planned picture:
"#AI will involve a collaboration between humans and machines"????
Hell no. 100% wrong. There will be humans who also use the variety of software called AI to do their things.
Keep the right perspective, people
(but AI for antibiotics is great, of course)
