Had to say goodbye to our personable little grey tabby today. She had been in decline for months, but it was still very sad.

beware anyone offering loud and simple solutions to the tech landscape. there are more potholes -- regulatory capture, erosion of civil liberties, etc. -- than pavement on the road to responsible computing.
The problem with stories like this is that "regulations" can mean very, very different things to different people. It's easy to say "regulate AI." It's extremely difficult to come up with actual regulations that won't kick off another partisan shitshow fight once it gets distorted.
There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors
