BREAKING: Andrew Yang suggests the US should stop taxing humans — should tax AI instead to fund UBI.

I can't believe we are letting a handful of amoral tech nerds fundamentally reshape the entire human experience of the world.

This is also being done with Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, even Ursula K. Le Guin. It’s not right, and it should stop. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pop novel, a great work of the Western canon, or anything else — this should not be done. It breaks trust.

Absolutely insane. Absolutely anti-human. Absolutely diabolical.

Sam Altman really thinks that he can steal everybody’s data, created a powerful AI that makes everyone unemployed, and then sell the information back to us, and mobs of people aren’t going to show up at his house with pitchforks? 🤨

This man is proposing to do with the sum total of published human knowledge what capitalism does with everything: steal it and then build enclosures around it for profit.

People don’t long for the 90’s, they long for the “before social media” time. The 80’s, the 70’s, etc. All of it. Anything before we were constantly streamed every person’s thoughts, every negative news story that will get clicks.

All people are from bloodlines that have lasted for centuries dipshit

This is called ‘surveillance pricing.’ It should be illegal. I have a bill to ban it. x.com/washingtonian/…

Reiterating the point - the reason why the Democratic Party is fairly unpopular as an entity is that it sees absolutely relentless negativity particularly from its own side these are the top two posts on /r/politics, all the comments are saying "don't vote for dems"

The future looks bright in the hands of the tech oligarchs.

I think it is deeply concerning that the group of people building the technology that is supposed to reshape humanity don't actually care about what it means to be human.

Powerful words from University of Pennsylvania students against their university's headlong rush to embrace of AI:

“Please invest an entire nation’s GDP in us. We promise if you do we’ll destroy everything you have.” Truly a puzzle why this sales pitch isn’t working.

I don’t think society is ready for the disruption that is coming as a result of educated, civically engaged, middle class 22-35 year olds experiencing the brunt of the impact of AI. This is a specific form of betrayal that strikes directly at the heart of the “America. Dream”

This is gross. Digital necromancy is just preying on the weak and vulnerable to turn a quick buck.

We’re going to the Moon this week for the first time in 53 years and it’s not even a lead story.
