At the height of the witch panic, in the years 1450-1750, 0.19 witches were executed per year, per 100k people. The homicide rate in Norway, today, is 0.5 per 100k people, 1.1 in Sweden, 3.0 in Europe overall, and 22.4 in Brazil: https:&#x

The 15-minute video covers the consequences of so-called "ethical AI", which is giant corporations such as Disney, with IP hoards big enough to train AI models, get to use the technology unhindered, while for individuals it become

Next step: audio monitoring in pubs and restaurants to solve the going-dark problem of face-to-face conversations, exploited by pedophiles. The step after that: audio/video monitoring in private homes, since that is where most child ab

To expound on your point, corporations will be able to use AI - giant conglomerates such as Disney, that own enough media to train AI models on only works they own copyright on (and own enough senators to make sure those copyrights last),

You may not be up to date with the latest thinking, but it is widely accepted that advertising agencies are the best, most benevolent arbiters of speech. That is why their judgment is never questioned, but presented as immutable fact, like

It's instructive to consider why local politicians are so much more hostile to ISP monopolies than the centralized, federal politicians. I think it's a combination of being closer to your constituents, legislating for people you m
