Een fijne uiteenzetting van de briljante Cory Doctorow over waarom menselijke controle op AI niet kan werken. De reden? Automatiseringsblindheid.

@billstclair @Techaltar @mikemc303 And by housing invaders you mean the nation's own children (home ownership in a livable, nevermind affordable, place is not happening, having a place to call home at all is starting to look uncertain for many) and people (yeah, climate displacement is going to be a bitch even with zero immigration accounted for).

Well wasn’t this predictable. No, your child is not “traumatized” by seeing people of different races holding hands. This whole movement of #parents against #inclusivity and a #pluralistic and multiracial society in the name of protecting their children is really about protecting their #prejudice and #bigotry. #Children don’t naturally hate or fear different people. They might be curious, but they don’t have innate loathing of people who aren’t white, cis and straight. https://abc13.com/conroe-isd-trustee-melissa-dungan-racial-inclusivity-at-schools-pride-flags/13628737/

@protecttruth @oblomov @matthewrigdon @TaliaRinger Well, monopolies do intentionally distort markets in such a way and practice regulatory capture as a matter of course.

So they're not wrong on that part. @pluralistic has written a *lot* on just how, why and what could be done about it (#antitrust plz).

Lack of monopolies however makes no guarantees about anything and especially not that the profit incentive won't keep being a problem.

It just provides a baseline to start from.
