To anyone put off by having to program in C++, I recently managed to make Qt work with Kotlin and it has been a dream. You get all the power of Qt coupled with all the niceness of a modern, programmer-friendly language.

You might be talking about the DOS Shell. A pseudo graphical file managerm shipped with DOS.

Here comes the sun, na na na na na

I agree. We should replace the moon with Ed Sheeran.

During Brexit we had Leave.eu

Yep.

Here’s an interesting crowd sourced book that discusses doing just that, digitally. The task you ate describing (currently an MP’s job) is called ‘broad listening’

A competing company can open an insurance scheme for Chicago homes only at the original price. The private sector has far fewer insensitives to subsidize weakness

Sorry for the English, but the linked post made me realize that unrestrained AI corporations could become as powerful as countries. Think about it…

A country:

• Offers services to outside customers (from the humans living in it)
• Has a pool of money (tax) that it uses to fight for its own interests

An AI corpo:

• Offers services to outside customers (from its AI systems)
• Has a pool of money (profit, tantamount to a 100% tax) that it uses to fight for its own interests

An AI corpo begins playing on equal footing as human countries when it hijacks a human country (US, via corrpution), and gets it to fight for its interests (essentially becoming a parasite).

Then we get to balance of trade. A country generally becomes weaker as it gets a negative balance of trade. Humans, and hence human countries, have limited productivity. AI corpos will have limitless(ish) productivity. If human countries gradually outsource their non-physical jobs to the AI corpos, which keep improving their AI, their balance of the countries’ trade with the corpos will get increasingly negative, and this will force these countries of humans to become subservient to them.

Possible counterpoints:

• AI corpos get broken up
• Countries steal/copy the models and run them for themselves
• There will always be an economy for physical goods that the AI corpos will not be able to produce, and human countries will have exclusivity on

Samson or Samsung?

Shame more countries don’t have referenda. It would be a really useful tool for addressing political bombs that no party wants to touch like cannabis or abolishing the triple lock

Hmm, could you theoretically connect the output of a sewage plant to the input of a drinking water treatment plant, or does the river/dilution/… play some sort of important role in the middle?
