I dunno a phone is basically mandatory (some government services are phone only now unless you can prove a disability) and I can’t afford a fairphone.

iirc it was also pointed out that countries like the US and UK also tend to just legalise a lot of corrupt seeming shit which keeps them higher on the scale since its no longer technically corruption.

Except the bailout at this point is more money than exists, you’d have to print so much money as to cause instant hyper inflation and cause an even worse economic crash that would take AI with it anyway.

Making full 3D models based on real art made by the concept artist on our team? This sparks joy.
Doing the same with AI images my boss made? This does not spark joy.

It’s more a failing socialist state thing, happened to my grandparents on my moms side, Capitalist states tend to go the inflation route.

Traditionally during such busts the government starts outright confiscating bank accounts or otherwise enacts some fiscal policy that renders all savings (especially those in cash) completely worthless in a last bid to pass the buck onto the 99%.

This is why I occasionally send close friends obviously stupid messages with a ton of keywords, to throw some more noise into the surveillance aperatus.

We left the door open and told our dog to go outside and it did! Look at what an amazing escape artist our dog is!

Damn that’s around 1% of the entire global GDP…

Eh its still a win, a large scale test cast for a still fairly unproven technology is bound to provide some useful information.

Also the magic fruit seems kinda like actual sapience by todays standards? Pretty great thing to have.

And the already predicted heavy damage to the ozone layer from aluminium oxide from re-entering sattelites would be increased a thousand fold so somewhere on that list is learning to live without oxygen or sunlight.

iirc you can’t expect not to be caught in random photos or videos but you do have a right for someone not to film you specifically, someone wearing these glasses is doing that in every interaction.

Image recognition AI has been found to be vulnerable to prompt injection via text present in the image.

Nepenthies is a type of webpage that generates an endless chain of links and pages to bait in content scrapers and feed them garbage that poisons their training data.
