"Selon l'analyse du cabinet [Oxford Economics], « les entreprises ne semblent pas remplacer leurs employés par l'IA Š grande échelle », ce qui suggère plutôt qu'elles pourraient utiliser cette technologie comme prétexte pour réduire leurs effectifs de manière systématique."

Any chance the UK might also start looking at the effective Google search monopoly?
We are supposed to be independent of the EU now, but all that seems to mean is that we are in thrall to the US instead.

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).

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.

Three powerful businessmen
—two Americans and a Russian
—hunched over a laptop in Miami Beach last month, ostensibly to draw up a plan to end Russia’s long and deadly war with Ukraine.
But the full scope of their project went much further, according to people familiar with the talks.
They were privately charting a path to bring Russia’s $2 trillion economy in from the cold
—with American businesses first in line to beat European competitors to the dividends.

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: ‘The science world is ending’
A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." Stephanie Sy examines what’s behind a potential scientific brain drain.

Hoje eu vi os três gatos que ainda aparecem com frequência por aqui: a Escaminha, o Niniro e o clone do Niniro. Gangue praticamente completa, só que ficou faltando o Amarelinho (que parece ter desaparecido mesmo).
Só que o Niniro é muito dócil (eu acabo não resistindo a fazer um pouco de carinho nele) e ele jš fez menção a vir atršs de mim. Eu praticamente saí correndo rs.
