Was literally reading this weekend about how unscrupulous dog owners are held liable when their sentient, actual living creatures with independent minds attack other dogs or humans. Seems like AI should follow those precedents.
Rewrite every headline about an AI doing something illegal as the owners of the AI doing something illegal. Strict liability could end this madness.

“Shylock” is a very old-school antisemitic slur but you can believe Netanyahu and the ADL won’t condemn Trump using it even though he’s exactly the sort of old bigot that uses such slurs without apology and by habit.
If you are not sufficiently blind to Israel's faults and use the word "Shylock," you will be condemned. If you are sufficiently blind to Israel's faults and use the word "Shylock," like Donald Trump did, the word will be condemned.
As an interfaith chaplain I use things like this to illustrate the vast difference between faith and religion because Jesus and empathy go hand in hand. Same with most figures of faith. I have never understood self-identified Christians who ignore or vilify the actual teachings of Christ.

We need a Blue TIDAL Wave. Thanks to all who are engaged on the ground and/or donating to make it happen. ALL HANDS ON DECK!
New in PN: Steve Levitsky on the slide into “competitive authoritarianism” "Perhaps the biggest reason the upcoming midterm elections are so critical is because they represent a last chance for voters to stop the American system of government from sliding into full-blown authoritarianism."

In 2017 I learned President Obama personally contacted Zuckerberg about Russian interference via Facebook and Zuckerberg did NOTHING. I was gone practically the next day. It’s not hard, people. Meta is foul.
And just yesterday: Meta restricted Brazilian president's Insta accounts during the election while "recommending the profile of challenger Senator Flavio Bolsonaro." What's it going to take people to get off Meta products? www.reuters.com/world/americ...
