  I’ve always liked the #BBC and I hope it can continue to provide (mostly) objective, well-sourced coverage. „The precise set of rules that require households to be licensed no longer reflect typical audience behaviour among many households in the UK.“ 🦖📺🦕 https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/mar/05/bbc-charter-renewal-tv-licence-major-overhaul?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

  Even ignoring the cowardly passive Washington Post headline, this is deeply troubling. The mid terms will be the Acid Test for U.S. Democracy.

  “The public does not want to go back to the days of rampant old-growth clearcutting. They don’t want to go back to dead salmon and polluted rivers, or see their favorite places on public lands liquidated in order to maximize profits for the greedy few. These are treasured public lands, and we’re going to fight for them.” https://oregonwild.org/trump-admin-announces-old-growth-clearcutting-plan-for-western-oregon/

  In other words, OpenAI will do anything the Secretary of War tells them to: „The AI System will not be used to independently direct autonomous weapons in any case where law, regulation, or Department policy requires human control, nor will it be used to assume other high-stakes decisions that require approval by a human decisionmaker under the same authorities.“ https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-of-war/

  I canceled my OpenAI/ChatGPT subscription. The one thing that has prevented humanity from self-destructing is that ultimately, evil men had to convince ordinary people to do their bidding. Fully autonomous weapons eliminate that safeguard and must be banned now.

  Today I learned that nearly every modern car has four tire pressure sensors that broadcast a unique ID in clear text, so a basic Raspberry Pi scanner can track when your car is nearby. https://networks.imdea.org/your-cars-tire-sensors-could-be-used-to-track-you/
