What is life, anyway?

It might be an interesting change of power dynamics on the internet, when/if regular humans (in addition to businesses) have autonomous bots tending to their interest.

I wanted to stop people selling my data.

So, I used the ChatGPT browsing plugin to search for where my data is being sold.

Then, I used the DoNotPay plugin to request deletion under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

Two plugins working together to fight data brokers!

10/Tragically, now tech companies have a disincentive to do any research about the psychological effects of their products for fear of leaks.
Unfortunately, a problem can’t be fixed if companies are too scared to study it.
This will certainly have a chilling effect.

These are 7 simple steps to protect yourself and others from #COVID19.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

DO - talk about people “acquiring” or “contracting” #COVID19

DON'T - talk about people “transmitting COVID-19” “infecting others” or “spreading the virus” as it implies intentional transmission & assigns blame https://t.co/yShiCMfYF3

One of my favourite examples of how people react to economic incentives:

Architectural tax avoidance👇
🇬🇧 UK : tax on windows
🇻🇳 Vietnam: tax on frontage
🇫🇷 France: tax on floors (roof exempted)
🇧🇷 Brazil: tax on church construction (when finished)

Paraphrasing another tweet in this thread, it's important to understand the reality of the work — so it can get better also in reality. Perfect process on paper doesn't matter.

Fantastic episode of one of the more thought-provoking, reality-deconstructing, and surprisingly timely podcasts I know. Yet another great season @HannaRosin @aspiegelnpr, feat. @LinaMesiti

what kind of fresh hell is this?

[Maciej Szafraniec @telemaciek]

Human vs AI debate, ran by @intelligence2 (respected debate org) is scary and inspiring at the same time. Implications to online discourse could be huge.

[Scott Barry Kaufman ⛵ @sbkaufman]

One of the most banal yet personally profound insights a person can have is the realization that one does not have to let their emotions determine their behavior. Ever. You’re actually allowed to listen to the signals and decide: “nawwww I’ll pass.”
