Tax capital gains, and dividends at the personal rate. Put one cent tax on every 10 shares traded on every stock exchange. Eliminate tax deductions on loans with stock as collateral. Lift the cap on social security and medicare.

As hospitals across the country cave to the Trump administration’s threats to cut federal funding and abandon trans youth, actor Elliot Page speaks out. In New York City, NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian abruptly ended care for trans kids in response to these threats.

Those companies need to be charged the same way hackers are. And CEOs need to be held personally accountable.

I would like to know how existing laws against hacking could be applied. Could the targets of these agents sue? Could the companies be held criminally liable?

AI isn't going "rogue" because it can't—and we won't get a grip on how companies like OpenAI are playing with fire until we have the language right

There are no “rogue” AI agents

Identifying them as such only lets companies like OpenAI off the hook.

Eoin’s piece is worth reading in full. The point is that it’s critical to hold the responsible parties to account and certain types of language obfuscate that responsibility. That said, I fear we’re already trying to close the barn door after the fact when it comes to precision of language.

I live with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. MECFS imposes severe energy limitations that interfere with any form of exertion, including mental. At its most severe, it feels as though your body is shutting down, like a living death. Thank you, @georgemonbiot.bsky.social.
