I believe it is good to be polite to robots not because they have consciousness (they do not) but because it is bad for the soul to let oneself become a vehicle for cruelty, even if directed at inanimate objects.

Would you really like to live in a society where you have no responsibility and no freedom, no choice, only the false option of obedience to the law, or disobedience followed by punishment? Would you really want to go live in a prison?

I’m a little worried for anyone (human or domestic animal) sharing his household, or anyone with frequent exposure to him ☢️

Reading back-to-back Cory Doctorow @doctorow.pluralistic.net —Enshittification and The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI—and this combo had me wondering if I should buy a pitchfork from Amazon or is that just trying to use the master’s tools to dismantle the master’s house.

“the question for Americans is not whether Trump is our Caesar. Our bigger concern should be if this is more like our age of Marius and Sulla, the generals and magistrates (Rome had no clean division between the two roles) who inflicted wounds on the republic that proved fatal in the long term.”

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis.

The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass.  It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots.  This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

From the Yale rare books collection: This typo cost the printer his license, 1631. Missed a “not” among the Ten Commandments.
Page from a 17th century Bible, seen thru glass. Text of note is circled in yellow. In the list of the 10 commandments, the printer missed a “not” so the commandment reads, “Thou shalt commit adultery.” Smudge & scribble over the line shows where someone has tried to add a “not”.

Watching Furious, blown away by the lead actors. Must quibble, however, with Catherine’s weapon of choice. AFAIK there is no injectable sedative that, stabbed randomly thru trousers into thigh, would immediately incapacitate a large adult.

They‘d better name the bill that enlarges SCOTUS something like the Rebuilding Our Broken Executive Requires Thirteen Supremes Act, so we can call it the ROBERTS Court, not the Roberts Court, and immortalize the epic overreach and its costs. (I tried to make ALITO work, but failed.)
