Just watching #JohnOlivier on #homeownersassociation organisations in the US and #HOLYSHIT.

Without really looking into it independently (but trusting Oliver quite a bit), HOAs sound terrifying.

In #Australia, apartment buildings (like where I live) have "body corporates" ("strata") that manage the common interests of owners, and often they delegate maintenance jobs to external organisations... BUT they can't just unilaterally impose fines or AUCTION OFF YOUR ENTIRE PROPERTY. And they don't exist at all (that I've heard of) for individual, detached houses.

Somehow Neal Stephenson's #SnowCrash now makes a lot more sense to me.

Probably the best analysis of AI I've heard in a while:
"The problem with AI isn't that it's smart, it's that it's unpredictably stupid "
(to paraphrase John Oliver)
#AI #JohnOlivier

#JohnOlivier had a segment on #misinformation on non-English #language|s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5jtFqWq5iU

Highly recommended, especially for people interested in #translation|s.

Main points:
* #Facebook 90% of its monthly users are non-English, but only 13% of fact checking.
* Major fact checking sites are mostly English.

* He mentioned Vietnamese Social movements trying to help:
- https://movementhub.org/resource/the-interpreter/
- https://www.the-interpreter.org
- https://vietfactcheck.org

Likely similar group for other languages.
