Tech CEOs Call for a Universal Basic Income. But What are the Alternatives?

The Washington Post looks at arguments that "AI's coming upheaval may demand massive infusions of cash to everyday Americans". But they also look at some of the alternatives:

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for similar public-relief measures, including, potentially, universal basic income, or UBI. Eventually "our current economic setup will no longer make sense," he wrote in a blog post, adding that "there will be a need for a broader societal conversation about how the economy should be organized.".

Вселенная как срез многомерного объекта: гипотеза о гравитации-инерции и «исчезающих» частицах

Любая гипотеза о происхождении вселенной — божественная или научная — рано или поздно упирается в вопрос: а что было до того, как что-то появилось?Если сначала был только бог — где находился сам бог? Философское «ничто» по определению не может ничего содержать, включая бога, — иначе это уже не ничто, а вместилище. Но чтобы бог просто существовал, нужно как минимум пространство, а пространство неотделимо от времени. Значит, пространство-время должно было существовать... Read more

Если в двух словах, то оно того стоило: попутно я освоил подключение к LLM по API-ключу, разобрался с OpenRouter, позаботился об экзотической лягушке, убедил ИИ написать Arduino-скетч для управления Tuya-совместимыми выключателями и...
