"Searle's paper, titled 'Dazed & Confused: A Large-Scale Real-World User Study of reCAPTCHAv2,' found that Google's widely-used CAPTCHA system is primarily a mechanism for tracking user behavior and collecting data while providing little actual security against bots."

"Just like Apple, Meta is behaving as though the #DMA permits it to carry on its worst behavior, with minor cosmetic tweaks around the margins. Just like #Apple, #Meta is daring the #EU to enforce its democratically enacted laws, implicitly promising to pit its billions against #Europe’s institutions to preserve its right to spy on us."

Whether inequality worsens or not is a political choice, not something inherent in a technology. Technology creates well-being with decreased toil inputs. How we distribute the production depends on how you vote.
Automation tax is not the solution, we actually want all the sectors to automate instead of giving tax incentives for not automating. So we need increased business, capital gains and wealth taxes across the board to compel businesses to automate.
The taxes can pay for a UBI, and automation makes everything free. After a short transition time people won't need money for anything, and so no amount of money is enough to pay for anything. Money becomes both priceless and worthless.
AI is not for making money, money is for making AI.

"As we have been doing privately for multiple years, we now publicly call on John #Deere to immediately resolve all of its outstanding GPL violations, across all lines of its #farm equipment, by providing complete source code, including "the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable" that the GPL and other #copyleft #licenses require, to the #farmers and others who are entitled to it, by the licenses that Deere chose to use."
