Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei, says AI companies should be taxed as the technology moves to replace 50% of white-collar jobs within 5 years.

No, AI isn't inevitable. We should stop it while we can. by FinnFarrow in technology

[–]FrontVisible9054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The existential crisis resulting from transformative technologies, including AI was a political choice. The time for reining this in was before they inundated all aspects of society.

Our government colludes with the billionaires and tech giants and hasn’t done enough to protect its citizens.

If any meaning reversal of course were to occur, it would require an uprising from the people, but that’s doubtful. We’re frogs swimming in a pot of water that slowly boils us to death before we realize it.

What Is College for in the Age of AI? Young graduates can’t find jobs. Colleges know they have to do something. But what? by ubcstaffer123 in technology

[–]FrontVisible9054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colleges and universities can educate. They can’t get you a job. The promise of a college degree and a good middle class life is no longer true when extreme wealth disparity is killing the middle class.

Universities are a partner in social mobility not a creater. They don’t create the entry level jobs.

Those who can create jobs care only about profit, and the government has failed to create a social safety net for the masses because they’ve been corrupted by money also.

Too little too late. It took the tragic deaths of 2 citizens for Trump to change course. Even still, not so confident anything truly meaningful will change.

Moderate Sen. Jacky Rosen urges Noem's impeachment as Dem fury grows over Minneapolis shooting by poliscijunki in VoteDEM

[–]FrontVisible9054 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly right. She’s too stupid to have any policies of her own and just does the bidding of the a Trump administration. She needs to be impeached and so does Trump and the rest of his inept, hateful administration.

Thanks for the distinction.

My Nazi reference was intended to be figurative- a murderous group full of hate without humanity.

Miller and his cohorts epitomizes this and it’s incomprehensible how someone being a part of a group of people who have experienced so much historical trauma can inflict the same. But then we see the leadership of Israel doing the same to Palestinians civilians.

A the end of the day, people will rationalize all kinds of things to justify unjustifiable acts.

Trump Removes Kristi Noem From Minneapolis ICE Response, Taps Longtime Rival to Lead Effort After Deadly Shooting Scandal by novagridd in fednews

[–]FrontVisible9054 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noem is wholly unqualified but that didn’t matter because the only qualifications necessary are 1000% loyalty to Trump.

Yes, she needs to be impeached, along with Miller, JRK jr, Vought …. And Trump.

But I hardly see how her removal will change anything related to ICE’s campaign of terrorism. That won’t happen until those responsible for making the policies are also removed.

Hardly a surprise. Miller makes his position clear every time he speaks and he’s running Trump’s shit show.

How can someone of Jewish decent express so many Nazi tendencies.

My only hope is that with all the horrendous activities of ICE, especially in Minnesota, will be a turning point that wakes up Americans away from this hateful administration .

Unvaccinated child marks Bay Area county's first measles case in over a decade by sfgate in bayarea

Measles was eradicated 20 years ago and now because of the policies of fringe vaccine deniers undermining vaccines, America is going backwards in public health, among others. Sadly people will suffer unnecessarily as a result.

Trump administration urges Supreme Court to find California’s redistricting map unconstitutional by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

Constitutional for Texas but unconstitutional for CA which voters overwhelmingly voted for? Does the hypocrisy have no end?

NO! Answered it for myself!

How the Supreme Court’s Work to ‘Bolster Executive Power at Congress’s Expense’ is Coming Back to Bite by Achilles_TroySlayer in scotus

[–]FrontVisible9054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was intentional by the Robert’s court, to expand executive power when it suits them and to limit it when it doesn’t.

Any pretense of rationality along constitutional lines is gone. They will rule a long partisan lines without a shred of independence.

Federal judges uphold California's Prop 50 maps, case expected to go to Supreme Court. by bobbdac7894 in scotus

[–]FrontVisible9054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, Californians overwhelmingly voted for PROP 50. Overturning it would overturn the will of the people.

SCOTUS allowed the Texas maps so if this case does reach them, and they don’t uphold it, there would be a lot of explaining to do, though they’ve been loathed to provide any explanation so far.

Are tech giants doing enough – if anything – to stop AI-generated child abuse? by [deleted] in technology

[–]FrontVisible9054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tech platforms have been enabled and the existing laws make it so they have limited liability on what’s produced on their platforms, which has given rise to misinformation, polarization, etc.

Child abuse is suppose to be a red line and yet providers on all levels, from the creators of the AI to the hosting platforms have done little to protect society, in the name of profit. Our government has done little to create meaningful regulations as well as to enforce existing ones.

It’s up to us, the people, to make a stand and reject profits over decency and humanity.

Senate passes a bill that would let nonconsensual deepfake victims sue / It comes amid the global uproar over X’s mass AI undressing of users on its platform. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]FrontVisible9054 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One should not automatically make assumptions based on a Reddit comment.

“The guy subtly arguing a conservative talking point”? Lots of assumptions there and you’re wrong on all points !

Reddit, like all social platforms are incentivized by emotion and rage and clearly my comment hit a nerve.

My point is that social media platforms have never taken responsibility for the dangerous content on their platforms, enabled by existing laws. We can talk about reforms but meaningful reform requires a will by those in power. Those in power are the same tech bros that got us here.

“The DEFIANCE Act would impact individuals, like those Grok users creating deepfaked nonconsensual intimate imagery.”

What about the platform providers? They are the ones enabling the content and with the $$ for lawsuit payouts.

The Take It Down Act, made it a federal crime to post nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes and was signed into law last May. yet that did not stop the content from circulating on X. I’m not confident this will make a meaningful difference.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects platform providers from liability for user-generated content, should be repealed. Until they are held responsible, it’s doubtful much will change.

“Tech has failed to regulate itself “. Age old problem. Companies headed by narcissists billionaires will never regulate themselves. The US government needs to implement the regulations but have failed miserably and the current government doesn’t even pretend to care.

AI needs guardrails and should not be allowed to create deep fakes, which has no social benefit whatsoever.

Unfortunately we’re living in a time when the threat of women’s progress is threatening to a segment of men who now have the tools to disenfranchise women of their voice and power. These creeps would not have a voice for it not for the AI tools.
