You can tell Monopoly is an old game.

There's a luxury tax and rich people can go to jail.

"This article uses the case study of an insurance product linked to a health and wellbeing program—the Vitality scheme—as a lens to examine the limited regulation of collection and use of non-personal (de-identified/anonymised) information and the impacts it has on individuals, as well as society at large. Vitality is an incentive-based engagement program that mobilises online assessment tools, preventive health screening, and physical activity and wellness tracking through smart fitness technologies and apps. Vitality then uses the data generated through these activities, mainly in an aggregated, non-personal form, to make projections about changes in behaviour and future health outcomes, aiming at reducing risk in the context of health, life, and other insurance products. Non-personal data has been traditionally excluded from the scope of legal protections, and in particular privacy and data regimes, as it is thought not to contain information about specific, identifiable people, and thus its potential to affect individuals in any meaningful way has been understood to be minimal. However, digitalisation and ensuing ubiquitous data collection are proving these traditional assumptions wrong. We show how the response of the legal systems is limited in relation to non-personal information collection and use, and we argue that irrespective of the (possibly) beneficial nature of insurance innovation, the current lack of comprehensive regulation of non-personal data use potentially leads to individual, collective and societal data harms, as the example of the Vitality scheme illustrates."

"Despite the known discriminatory outcomes of [#facialrecognition] technology, the [UK] Home Office now wants to give power to individual police officers to scan our faces against a national database.

This dystopian march into a surveillance state is happening without public or parliamentary scrutiny.

We urgently need legislation to safeguard our #privacy and restrict the use of this intrusive technology.”

OpenAI CTO Mira Murati: "Some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place," the CTO said of AI's role in the workplace.

Imagine the deep moral vacuity you'd have to have to use the phrase "shouldn't have" here. Like it was somehow WRONG or IMMORAL for creative people to get paid for their work. Work that OpenAI has pirated to fuel their immoral, unethical machine.

That industry that should be regulated out of existence.

Yes, it is disgusting that Musk and company have removed 2011-2014 photos (and videos?) from the deadbird site.

But it's also yet another reminder to everyone: DO NOT completely entrust what you create to highly centralized, privately controlled (sometimes by evil people) cloud-based services.

At the very least, have backups -- local and off-site -- from which you re-post what you've created.
