What Elon Musk does not understand is that money is a function of people providing value to each other. When exchanged, it represents the expectation of future value creation. It is not the money itself desired, but what one hopes to exchange it for in the future. When you

There's no such thing as "universal high income." Income is only "high" relative to what someone else makes. If we are all just getting the same paycheck from the government, it's not high income. It's just communism. Who gets to decide who lives in the big houses or the

Speaking of universal basic high income Utopia…

AI systems enable the military to process information more quickly than ever before. But these systems remain dangerously flawed, especially when it comes to accountability, writes Nicholas Grossman. foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/14/ai-…

I thought about doing this without any jokes, something I've never done here in 23 years, to impress upon people how much different I feel this issue is from any I have ever covered.

« L’intelligence artificielle est-elle un dieu qui mérite notre foi? » Très heureuse d'avoir pu échanger sur RCF Radio Notre Dame avec Père Geoffroy de La Tousche autour de mon livre:"IA: et l'Homme créa Dieu", Hermann #IA #AI #Dieu #ChatGPT

Guess he’s gonna have to wait for the “high universal income” to kick in.

I have zero respect for any AI advocate who does not address the serious environmental issues involved. We cannot continue to ignore what we are doing to the actual physical world we live in.

France has made planned obsolescence a criminal offense, becoming one of the first countries in the world to treat deliberate product shortening as a serious crime. Manufacturers caught intentionally designing electronics, appliances, or other goods to fail prematurely or become

Talk of "the AI apocalypse" is a big selling point for AI companies. Consider how doomsayers have historically become rich with many followers. "The end is nigh, follow me, for I alone know the truth of our fated future & only I can harness such power." The Doom Dollar.

The world’s richest man, who wants the government to provide everyone with an equal wage (thus inherently disincentivizing having kids because they will eat into people’s allotted “income”) would like you to know that he’s very concerned about people not having enough children…

“We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.” Who the hell do these people think they are? They think they can call to draft people because they spy on everyone?

As a non-native English speaker I must say Marlene’s list is a great showcase of how tricky English can be at times.
