If you can't share basic healthcare with everyone, you're not going to share genetic healthcare, either.
The government shouldn't subsidize the development of super-healthcare (or pass conveniently targeted policies that enable its development at the expense of citizens) when all the non-billionaires get nothing but promises of I'll-totally-share-it-you-guys from the same guy who says we're-almost-at-AGI-we-just-need-another-trillion-dollars-I-swear.
The solution to billionaires having "ill-gotten gains" isn't "well, let's make sure he spends it responsibly". It's give the damn money back.
I remember this! The concept and worldbuilding was awesome and the story was decent. Way different from what I expected from the guy who makes puzzle games.
Basically, 20 minutes into the future, a company has created a therapist AI and employs human proxies - it looks like you're talking to a human therapist, but they're only allowed to say what the AI tells them to.
The MC was one of the AI's lead developers, but she fell into a depression and started questioning her role. She quits and becomes a proxy on the down low to better understand what she made and what it means for society.
There's an overarching plot where you follow her on that journey and meet people with different motivations and viewpoints on the technology, and the story is fair to all of them.
But the real draw is the "therapy" sessions. The patients feel so real, and you (and the MC) get to choice between repeating the AI's lines or speaking up.
I'm not familiar with the Japanese social media ecosystem, so take this with a grain of salt, but since they weren't named in the post, it doesn't seem like humiliation to me.
I wonder if it was a trade.
Like, do an anonymous interview so other people understand, and we'll lighten your sentence.
As per the text shared by the Danish Presidency, the October 30 compromise proposes removing all provisions on detection obligations included in the bill (Articles 7 to 11). These are the obligations to monitor all users' chat activities.
Voluntary CSAM scanning would then be made permanent and included in Article 4 as a possible mitigation measure.
Yet, the Danish Presidency still leaves a door open for mandatory scanning by planning to introduce a "review clause."
...
This, Director of Government Affairs and Advocacy at the Internet Society, Callum Voge, told TechRadar, allows for the file to be revisited in the future if new detection technologies are developed as alternatives to client-side scanning.
...
According to Breyer, though, this may instead be a way to "introduce mandatory Chat Control through the backdoor," rather than a real fix.
...
What's certain, both Breyer and Voge also believe voluntary scanning may carry some security and privacy risks.
Breyer said to TechRadar: "Even where voluntarily implemented by communications service providers such as currently Meta, Microsoft, or Google, chat control is still totally untargeted and results in indiscriminate mass surveillance of all private messages on these services."
But "this is real leadership" is more fanfare than I think it deserves.
Jon Stewart lobbying for health benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits was a concrete action that got a bill passed and expanded health benefits for veterans.
I'm not going to squee "this is real leadership" at a former president taking zero political risk by giving out handshakes and back slaps on the day when that's basically the bare minimum expectation.
I think it's fair to think "real leadership" should mean more when you're talking about a former president.
