the only threats "AI" poses to society are when people put it in charge of things that require thought, or crash the economy over it, or destroy the environment to power it. but it's people doing all of those things. AI poses zero threat by itself as it cannot do anything due to not existing

whatever happens the iranian approach of using the "make gas expensive" stick juxtaposed with the OR "lift sanctions and you and your coterie of ravening swindlers can come do 'investing' here" carrot demonstrates a keener understanding of dealing with the trump mind than most any US politician

Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)

This one is dodge as fuck - owned by two trustee companies run out of the same lawyers office in Auckland (Martelli McKegg), with no ultimate owner recorded. So who is the ultimate donor here?

One of the largest and prettiest #scaleworm I’ve ever found. There’s a term, “meroplankton” which describes organisms who will spend only part of their lives, or earlier life stages drifting by with the plankton. #blackwater #blackwaterdiving #polychaete #deepseacreatures

i really wish billionaires would stop weighing in on how they think a world they do not live in should work. just go be rich and leave us alone, none of this matters to you
This will make some folks mad :).

The best way for these grocery stores to work is if they use AI to get an edge over private grocery stores.

AI is the one way for the state government to out perform private enterprises.
I like that the distribution of 5 opening stores throughout burroughs seems to be an approach to fairness. Fairness, like privacy (and so many species) seems to be on verge of extinction. Hopefully, this effort will amount to more than one final death rattle & catch on elsewhere.
