Many experts argue that current #ArtificialIntelligences (#AI) is or will soon be really intelligent entities, so "different, but equal" to humans in the human-specific sense that rejecting them would be evil, helpless, or both.

Just ignore them. EVEN if they're right: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/taking-ai-too-seriously-is-not-intelligent

Parental consent, age verification, even #artificialintelligence are very expensive but FALSE solutions to the problems #children face online. Even if they COULD work as advertised, which they just can’t:

What is screwing #children through their GUILTLESS parents is one terribly simple, terribly wrong equation:

#UBI is NOT "a solution to the impact of #AI" as the Guardian says.

It's exactly the opposite: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/ubi-ai-and-reality-always-in-the

@XOshiloh it does, THANKS!

"#Oregon voters will likely decide in November whether to establish a historic #UBI universal basic income program that would give every state resident roughly $750 annually from increased corporate taxes"

personal curiosity, nothing more: I'd like to see how much of #Russia natural resources (oil, gas, metals, rare earths etc...) are on each side of the Urals, e.g (making numbers up) oil = 30% west/70% east etc). Anybody knows/can point me to such reports? TIA!

Just saw this "I once stopped #dating a guy after learning they're ___. People have a right to have their values and ethics align with who they date and closely befriend."

Fill the blanks with whatever idea you hate, then tell: Is this right/wrong/good/bad for individuals & society?

#EU electric car tariffs sting #China's #EVs but won’t halt it? (*)

That's even more reasons to just ABOLISH tariffs and go for a winning combination of European regulation of Chinese car manufacturing: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/carmakers-must-die-and-flat-cars

@Xenofact For completeness...

by me, same point: https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/the-only-thing-that-ai-tech-bros

#EU threatens #China #EVs with tariffs of up to 38%:

me, I say #EU tariffs should be ZERO %, but EU should set all standards for said Chinese EVs. Much better deal for both:

First World crises are strong these days

@MidnightRider until the moment we really get a chatbot each, that calls them to DDO the service

First they replaced those who would listen to you with #AI chatbots, bc you did not deserve human listeners.

Now they replace YOU with an #AI clown of you, bc YOU don't deserve to look human when complaining:

We all deserve personal AI chatbots that call all these centers 24/7
