Malta is drafting a law to give legal personality to DAOs and other decentralised systems. And yes, AIs too: https://decryptmedia.com/6981/civil-rights-for-bots
Malta is known as a premiere EU tax haven & money laundering hotspot for corruption & organised crime. It is very fitting that they are granting "legal personality" to so called "autonomous systems" (complete sci-fi BS) - to further reduce accountability & transparency.

"Dangerous exponentials - A radical take on the future - our core thesis" - by Dr.Tim Morgan:
https://www.tullettprebon.com/documents/strategyinsights/tp0510_tpsi_report_005_lr.pdfA fascinating read. Good to see some calling the problem by its name, while many (predominantly US based) lunatic thinkers still scream "exponentials are great, singularity!"

The World’s First 3D-Printed Village Is Coming to Latin America This Summer:
https://www.dwell.com/article/3d-printed-village-yves-behar-icon-new-story-c56ded54This US company is developing a giant 3D printer, cool. Then they sell their tech by talking about a utopian, emotional vision of "the developing world can have little houses just like the US ones" and announce their pilot project, a 3d printed village in South America (why not in the US, not enough homeless? Why little houses? Urban trends go in a really different direction). Good example of the extrem stupidity and arrogance that the US (automation) industry is displaying left and right.

Interview with Giulio Quaggiotto @gquaggiotto. #Politics #P2P

The growing outrage about rampant economic inequalities and rise of total surveillance police states run by mega-corps more powerful than nations, is largely wasted energy if no practical actions follow: It's time for a p2p take-over of infrastructure - the kleptocrats bank.

Thinking of this quote every time i see yet another project using ultra-complex machine learning/robotics to "optimise" mindless mass consumerism - so people can "buy things they don't need with money they don't have to impress people they don't like".
