”Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
I started listening to the audiobook of Dune the other day. This quote felt very timely.

Det skarpa id-kravet ska omfatta alla över 15 år och kontrolleras genom bank-id eller EU:s digitala plånbok, som håller på att tas fram.
Andersson säger att man fortsatt ska kunna vara anonym på nätet men att techföretagen kommer att känna till folks identitet.
Det andra stycket är inte ett direkt citat, så det kan finnas nyans här, men det som står i texten är vansinne. Om ”techföretagen [känner] till folks identitet” så är man inte anonym. Du kan inte vara anonym samtidigt som din identitet är känd. Det borde säga sig självt.
Jag är också tveksam till hur mycket och när barn ska använda sociala medier men att ta bort anonymiteten på internet är ett orimligt högt pris att betala. ”Techföretagen” gör redan allt de kan för att ta reda på så mycket de bara kan om oss. Får såssarna som de vill så kommer företagen dessutom kunna knyta all information de har om oss på nätet direkt till oss som personer.

With the rest of the family asleep, as I look out the windows at night I can’t help but notice that the light has changed, signaling the end of this part of summer. Fall is still far away, but much less far than it was just a few days ago.
It’s been an emotional week for rock n roll. First we lost Ozzy. Rest in peace, prince of darkness.
Now, Spinal Tap is returning! 🤘🏻
I’m skeptical about OpenAI in general, because while I think AI is so powerful that aspects of it will legitimately change the world, I also think it has been overhyped more than just about anything I’ve seen in my three decades of writing about technology. Sam Altman strikes me as being a drinker of his own Kool-Aid, but it’s also his job to make everyone in the world think that AI is inevitable and amazing and that his company is the unassailable leader while it’s bleeding cash.
This paragraph from Jason Snell perfectly encapsulates my feeling about OpenAI, and so many other ”AI Companies”.

Regarding the price of the Nintendo Switch 2. The original Switch has been out for over seven years. If 2 has the same lifespan, with a $500 price tag, that’s just shy of $6 per month.
