Pope Leo addresses the Synod Hall after presentation of his first encyclical Magnifica Humanitas: “Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word is strong, I know, but deliberately chosen."

"All too often, we place our hope in unlimited “upgrades,” in forms of progress that exacerbate inequalities, and in immediate solutions incapable of healing people’s wounds. As a result, while some pursue the illusion of unlimited self-assertion, many are deprived of basic necessities."

When there are no laws meaningfully regulating military AI use, the Pentagon’s promise to use AI “lawfully” mean almost nothing. The authoritarian AI crisis has arrived www.platformer.news/anthropic-pe...

“Trump’s position is that the government cannot pressure Facebook to take down anti-vaccine posts, but it can coerce Anthropic into making a version of Claude that kills people without a human in the loop.”

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner

Så här ser hela den "taskbaserade ersättningen" ut. Det finns moment som ger mer än fem kronor och en del moment kan kombineras. Vid 48 timmar nattarbete i veckan går det enligt medlemmen att få ihop lite över 5000 brutto på en vecka. Så drygt 20000 i månaden för 200 h nattarbete.

Har fått in ett nytt ärende och vill dela siffran fem med er. Fem kronor brutto är nämligen lönen för den som flyttar en elsparkcykel från Voi till närmaste parkering. Arbetstiderna 23.00-8.00, sex nätter i veckan. Ingen OB, ingen övertid, ingen sjuklön, ingen semesterlön. Bara fem kronor brutto.

www.nytimes.com/shared/comme... “We have reached peak insanity: $100B in annual compensation is equivalent to approximately 3M full-time minimum-wage workers (at $16/hr) for one year. No accomplishment by any individual justifies receiving the same compensation as 3M people working full-time.”

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

I don’t want AI to make me 10x more productive, I want it to give me Fridays off.

american society has been at “TV Interstitial from ROBOCOP” for a while but “president does a car commercial on the white house lawn” is really pushin it

Seems like why the meeting imploded was more like "Trump is senile and has lost all impulse control and JD Vance is pickled in online fash propaganda" www.semafor.com/article/02/2...

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

They need him to be a genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a fool.

They want war crimes. I do not know why the media will not say this. They say they want war crimes. Heggy got his job because he supported war crimes on Fox News. They think it is good to hunt children for sport.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

It’s like taking your car to the mechanic and thinking the guy who pulls your car around at the end is all you need to keep things functioning.

Billionaires have more money than they could ever need but never enough to fill the holes in their souls. They would send every last one of you into an early grave if it meant paying one cent less in taxes.

Musk admitted X throttles links, and Threads is only a little better. But social media's quiet war on links has been going on for years. I wrote about how big tech has been draining the open web's lifeblood and giving us "news influencers" instead of the news. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
