I almost never read emails from politicians but i just got one from @ocasio-cortez.house.gov titled "My Thoughts on AI" and it's actually quite good. Relieved to see her diverging from Bernie.
We can stop this, and we shouldn’t play their game. Together we can address both the economic and safety threats of unrestricted AI development and prevent financial chaos and stabilize market risk.

We must make it clear now that should the AI bubble pop, Congress should not bail out Big Tech.

And across our federal agencies, we have the authorities and tools to hold AI companies and their leaders accountable for releasing dangerous, unvetted, and defective products. We must not wait.

Silicon Valley billionaires want us to believe that AI robots will destroy humanity.

But the biggest threat to humanity are the tech oligarchs themselves.

It’s time we hold them accountable.

Imagine buying a payment card network that has a low acceptance rate, especially abroad, and explaining to customers that they should lower the expectations but try anyway
Email from Capital One:

If you’re traveling internationally, here are a few things you can do to prepare.
 
BEFORE YOU GO:
Research which payment methods are most common in your travel destination—acceptance may vary from before.
Check out these resources to help you plan.
Bring a second form of payment—cash or a credit card—just in case.
 
 
WHILE ABROAD:
Look for the Discover®, PULSE® or Diners Club International® logo at merchants and ATMs. Your debit card should work at any of these locations.
Try your card—even if you don’t see a logo, your card may still work.
