whoever designs online portals for local governments is making user interface decisions so bizarre and hostile they actually verge on avant-garde

There’s a part in the book White Noise where the characters talk about losing their identity once they’ve aged out of being the primary demo for advertisements and marketing.I think about that every time I see nostalgia porn videos because they’re always just ads for old products

It's rare that AI video makes me feel any emotion.
But these "nostalgiamaxxing videos" really do capture what it's like to grow up in the 90's

In Gattaca the two tiered society wasn't enforced by law. The "invalids" were seen as too risky to hire or insure. It was all voluntary derisking by private businesses.
It's a warning about allowing actuarial reasoning to become the sole basis for economic opportunity.

The scary part about Anthorpic's Fable nerf is not that it refuses to answer biology or cryptography. It's that it foreshadows what's coming. A world where a couple companies decide what you can and cannot do. They're building a new ruling class and you're not in it...

"A technology that is designed to reduce reliance on intermediaries can be difficult for ordinary Americans to use."
@jasonsomensatto of CoinCenter gave an excellent summary of why a de minimis exemption is needed.

We’ve also responded to FinCEN’s rulemaking concerning financial institutions’ AML/CFT programs. We believe this is a good opportunity to test out privacy-preserving digital identity tools, where users have sovereignty over their personal information. Read our letter and check out the John Hancock Project to learn more about how we can instill privacy and autonomy where the law already requires customer identification: coincenter.org/tear-down-thi…

A modern AML framework should reward institutions that can verify relevant facts with less data, fewer honeypots, and stronger privacy protections. coincenter.org/comment-to-fi…
