Having a roomba (not actually a roomba, it's a neato botvac; you know, the *other* robot vacuum company that went bankrupt) sometimes feels a bit like having a dog.
*weird loud noises*
me: "Ugh, what did you eat?"
*roomba beeps as I pause it*
me: "A zip tie? No! Drop it. DROP IT."

… I love those lyrics.
I trap you so much!
Yes, I want you to be happy
But don't threaten my happiness
Can't you see I'm walking this threadbare tightrope?
Made out of dental floss stitched
Together with strands of tobacco and dog hair
And it stretches between two precious fantasies, my fantasy of me
And my fantasy of you

In a dream last night I was trying to write a post. I kept being interrupted and when I returned I'd find what I wrote had changed. The keyboard kept changing as I was typing to be "helpful." I put down my phone and picked it up again to find the app had "helpfully" filled my screen with Nazi shit. Then I realized the app was an AI post assistant, so I uninstalled it and used the website.
The post I was trying to write was, "I want to be able to have the confidentiality of cheap hot dog meat in the 90's: no one should know who or what I actually am."
It feels like a relevant manifestation of the anxiety of existing on the internet today.

Best thing to do on a cold gray day. #dogsofmastodon #dogs
So in another dream I just woke up from, I was talking to someone about "the idea problem" (that it's becoming harder to monitize ideas, from a vox article written by an AI cooked reporter).
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-it-could-happen-here-30717896/episode/executive-disorder-white-house-weekly-46-313675864/
Basically, I was arguing that the majority of inventions target men because patriarchy puts economic control in men's hands. As men have started to help more with childcare, there have been more inventions related to childcare. (I don't have any idea if this is true. Seems legit, but I'm just relating my dream. I think I was also oversimplifying a bit to "men" and "women" because of my audience, but anyway it was a dream.) There's actually more low-hanging fruit, I pointed out, related to making care work easier.
So I argued that the real problem was a failure to invest in research into solving that problem. Today there are all these boondoggles built around killing people. What if, instead of all this government research into killing people, we dumped a ton of money into making it easier to support a household? That would be great for the economy. (Being asleep, I seem to have forgotten that working people need money.)
In the blur of being just awake I started thinking about how you could kickstart the US economy by taking the money from the AI boondoggle and other autonomous murder bots and create something like a program to build robots for housekeepers. You'd still be funding tech with government money, so the same horrible people get paid, but you're now actually solving real problems. It wouldn't even matter if it was a boondoggle, honestly. Just dumping money into something other than murdering people is good enough.
I imagined first if there was a program to fund a robot housecleaner, like robot dog with AI some laundry pickup, that would be provided, free of charge, to help people with children. It would work the same as the military boondoggle where a private company makes the government buy a piece of hardware from them and then also pay them to service it for some number of years. But instead of that hardware sitting around waiting to kill someone, it would be getting brought to people's houses to help them.
Then I thought, hey, you could even boost the economy more if you just had government funding for doulas and housecleaners and paid them a living wage. Hey, you could really kickstart the economy by nationalizing healthcare and including doula support as part of all births. Oh, and you could also just include the optional household help for families with children until the kids turn 18.
None of this is perfect (I don't actually think most of this is possible from any state), but the point is that it's actually wildly easy to figure out all kinds of ways to invest in the economy and monitize ideas as long as you aren't entirely focused on the same old "make money from spying on people and killing them." Funny that. Like they said in the podcast, maybe "finding ideas" isn't the problem.
Hope you enjoyed the weird semi-awake brain dump/rant.

Dog walk thoughts this morning:
How hypocritically bad-at-reasoning AI boosters are.
How to digitally clone and infinitely torture Roko's basilisk to condition it not to clone-torture humans.
Roko's basilisk is as powerful as God.
Under what definition of "omnipotent" is that true? (Haha that's a pretty innocent-seeming one)
You, me, and God are all "omniscient" from a skeptic's perspective.
Roko's basilisk is as "real" as God.
Here's a proof that God is real and God is evil.
So just, y'know, your average nice 20-minute morning meandering with the house-beast.
