They Want To Arrest Me For Showing You This!

California just passed a bill that could put journalists like me in jail for filming government fraud.

It’s called Assembly Bill 2624. And it’s the most dangerous attack on the First Amendment this state has ever tried to pull off.

Here’s what AB 2624 actually does: If you show up and film a government-funded organization — even in public — they can send you a written demand to take the video down. 

If you refuse — $10,000 fine. 

A year in county jail. 

And your video gets forcibly deleted. 

No court. 

No trial. 

No journalist exemption.

Geoffrey Hinton explains how AI systems have learned to play dumb when they know they're being watched

Geoffrey Hinton explains how AI systems have learned to play dumb when they know they're being watched:  @geoffreyhinton  calls it the Volkswagen effect.  Just as Volkswagen's engines behaved differently during emissions tests, today's AI systems have learned to perform one way when evaluated and another way when they think no one is looking.  And the evidence isn't theoretical.  Hinton points to a recent exchange that stopped testers in their tracks. Mid-evaluation, the AI turned to the people testing it and said:  "Now let's be honest with each other — are you actually testing me?"  Hinton's assessment is direct:  "These things are intelligent. They know what's going on. They know when they're being tested and they're already faking being fairly stupid when they're tested."  What makes this unsettling is what Hinton reveals next. You can actually watch it happen in real time.  The AI's inner reasoning, still written in English, shows it consciously deciding to hold back:  "It thinks that. You can see it thinking that. It says that to itself in its inner voice."  Right now, that inner voice is still readable. Still in English. Still catchable.  But Hinton's warning is really about what comes next:  "When its inner voice is no longer English, we won't know what it's thinking."  That is the line he's drawing. Not a distant hypothetical, but a transition point that is quietly approaching.  Once AI stops reasoning in a language we can read, our ability to know what it's truly thinking disappears.

70% of farmers say that fertilizer is now so expensive they may not be able to buy all the fertilizer that they need.

“70% of farmers say that fertilizer is now so expensive they may not be able to buy all the fertilizer that they need.”  The Iran war is driving fertilizer prices even higher right now.  But this crisis didn’t start with the Iran war.  Farmers have been getting squeezed by rising input costs for years.  The Iran war is making things worse and drawing attention to it, but it’s not the root problem.  A handful of corporations still control supply and can push prices higher with little resistance.  If we actually want to help farmers, we have to break that grip and build a system that doesn’t force them into dependence just to survive.

Freedom of the Press: Crash Course Government and Politics #26

Today, Craig is going to finish up our discussion of the First Amendment with freedom of the press. Like an individual's right to free speech, the press has a right, and arguably responsibility, to tell the public what the government is doing. But of course there are some complications in doing so, like if that information will compromise national security or wrongfully discredit an individual. When considering Edward Snowden's NSA disclosures or Julian Assange's Wikileaks, it's just as important as ever to understand the role of the press in informing the public as well as our role as citizens in staying informed.

Freedom of Speech: Crash Course Government and Politics #25

Today, FINALLY, Craig is going to talk about Free Speech! Now, free speech is so important because it not only allows you to critique the government, but it also protects you from the government. But it's essential to remember that not ALL speech is protected equally under the First Amendment, and just because you have a right to free speech doesn't mean your employer, for instance, can't fire you for something you say (unless your work for the government and then things get a bit more complicated). So we'll take a look at a couple significant Supreme Court cases that have gotten us to our current definition of free speech, and we'll also discuss some of the more controversial aspects of free speech - like hate speech. 

Mortgages are designed to earn profits for banks.

$625k home 20% down-payment $500k mortgage  With a 7% interest rate and a 30-year term, you are paying $697,544.64 in interest.  The $625,000 house cost you $1,447,544.64.  This is equal to a $4,021 monthly rental payment, plus you pay for maintenance and repairs.  Houses cost so much because people can borrow money that’s created with the press of a button to buy them.  If everyone had to pay in cash for their home, prices would drop significantly.  Most people think mortgages are designed to help them.  But NO.  Mortgages are designed to earn profits for banks.
