The only kind of AI girlfriend/boyfriend company I could tolerate, is one where they leave when you’re a violent douchebag.

There seriously needs to be some kind of #public #academic scrutiny to how virtual humans that school our children to behave should be like.

How these systems behave is not trivial. Our pack animal brains learn from them. That’s how childhood works, can’t change that.

No punishment for psycho behaviour won’t work good for us as a whole.

"The #NYT identified several dozen employees working for #DOGE, but conservatives were surprisingly unhappy about the #transparency...

knowing who’s behind the seismic cuts is apparently not a priority for #conservatives, who would seemingly rather keep DOGE’s operators in a literal #DeepState"

Text from article: DOGE employees have been handed the monumental task of slashing federal spending. So far, the group has gained access to and gutted portions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Education, Commerce, Defense, and Energy Departments, the Inflation Reduction Act, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Agency for International Development, and, among other agencies, the Federal Aviation Administration, even as the nation experiences an unprecedented uptick in critical aviation crashes. Elon Musk predicted Wednesday that the organization would meet its goal of hacking $1 trillion from the budget. Many of the staffers employed under the helm of Musk’s organization come equipped with minimal Washington experience, according to the Times, while a large number of them have former working relationships with Musk. But knowing who’s behind the seismic cuts is apparently not a priority for conservatives, who would seemingly rather keep DOGE’s operators in a literal deep state.

Text from article: The reality of litigation challenging the Trump administration is that it isn’t all going to win. That’s OK. Forcing the administration to defend its actions, on the record and in public, is important. The mere fact of litigating can change implementation of policy to improve its application to those affected. Even a loss can advance awareness about oppressive steps being taken by the administration. And, multiple strategies might be taken to challenge certain actions, some of which will be more successful than others. From a litigation perspective, in other words, not suing is sometimes “obeying in advance.” Actions need to be challenged. If a key aspect of what President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and others are doing right now is seeing what they can get away with — and what they can convince people that they can do — then a key part of pushing back against that needs to be challenging everything that can be challenged. In short: Force them to work for it.
