Make sure that being part of a corporation doesn't shield executives from criminal liability, and that accountability flows properly up the org chart, not stopping with some poor fool at the bottom

Look, the solution is obvious. Hold the execs accountable for the crime that the committed by their greedy negligence. Who cares about "superintelligence", what's rogue here is a number of companies with unsafe business practices which knowingly endanger the public

Emily Arnesen and Kyutaro Matsuzawa's research in @restatjournal.bsky.social shows that intimate partner violence can increase by 10% in a team’s home market after an upset loss, and the effect is greater when mobile sports betting enters the picture: direct.mit.edu/rest/article...
A screenshot of an abstract from an article written by Emily Arnesen and Kyutaro Matsuzawa, published March 13 2026. The title is "Sports Betting Legalization Amplifies Emotional Cues and Intimate Partner Violence"

The abstract: This study emplores the relationship between legalized sports gambling, unexpected emotional cues stemming from NFL home team upset losses and reported intimate partner violence (IPV). Using 1995-2022 crime data from NIBRS, replicating and extending Card and Dahl (2011)'s model, we find that legalized gambling increases the impact of upset losses on IPV by 10 percentage points. The effect is larger in states with mobile betting, where higher bets were placed, around paydays, and for teams on a winning streak. These results suggest that financial losses from gambling amplify emotional reactions to unexpected team losses.

I’ve been writing and speaking on this topic for years, and I’m glad that news media are finally drawing attention to it. www.salon.com/2026/07/28/t...
It may be tempting to see value in projects such as the Schmidt Foundation — that’s Eric Schmidt of Google — funding a fellowship in AI at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the Musk Foundation’s support of the Scroll Prize to use AI in reconstructing ancient texts in the burnt scrolls of Herculaneum. But these projects are simply two among countless others that have been seeding AI into museums and historical research for well over a decade. Even more egregious is the case of AI companies buying  and destroying rare books en masse in the process of scanning them for data. In the context of the dire austerity we are witnessing, the juggernaut of tech money seems impossible to resist.
