Just a thought, but are there not parts of modern society it might be beneficial for AI to destroy? For instance, what if we trained the agents to go after the billionaires, relentlessly?

I like my wee local circular, always see something. This is what I saw today.
Looking up into a tree canopy, a distinctive line of crown shyness can be seen separating the tree canopies and forming an upside down Y shape.

1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

Today about 100 people took part in a mass trespass in the Prime Minister’s constituency. There’s a right to roam over just 1% of Makerfield, & today the landowner proved our point for us: putting up fencing & calling the police. @andyburnham.bsky.social - please open the door to the countryside!

Disgusted with the manipulation of the assisted dying bill in the wretched lords, followed by today's commons stitch up. That my local MP opposed it too is an extra kick in the teeth. Shameful. www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

So if you dress in black and threaten violence the police let you do your thing and finish at your leisure. Better to avoid creating the risk of confrontation and with it a threat to public order. Hard to imagine any problems with this policy.
