What should I know about the penny being discontinued?
When was the last time you touched a penny? I don't even remember. I can't remember the last time I touched a penny. When was the last time you bought something with cash? Again, I do not even remember. Last time I bought something with cash. Last year, maybe? Two years ago? No idea. But I don't think I'll miss the penny. Turns out it costs about four cents to make a penny. So we're going to drop that penny. Don't touch your pennies anyway. They're disgusting. Here's some science that's kind of exciting. Did you know, I'll bet you didn't, there's a pretty good chance that there will be a pill that will help your sleep apnea. You know the people who put on those big CPAC things and then that's the end of your sex life? Well, there's a FDA submission.
It's not approved yet. But there's some combination of two existing drugs that apparently make a big improvement in your sleep apnea. So imagine getting rid of your CPAP and just having to take a pill before you go to sleep. Think of all the pills you'll take before sleep. You'll take your birth control, you'll take your Viagra, and then you'll take your sleep apnea pill, your vitamins. There's going to be a lot of pills. You're going to be up to like 15 pills before you go to sleep. Well, apparently the Senate has overturned the California gas car ban. Apparently there were 11 states that were going to ban gas cars by 2035. But according to Newsmax money, the Senate is overturning that. Now, I only say the Senate. Doesn't the House have to vote on that?
There's something missing with that story. All right, here's the scariest story of the day. As far as I know, this is true. I'm having a little trouble believing it, but it's not impossible. So there's an AI... called Anthropic. It's one of the big ones.
How might AI threaten us with blackmail?
And it turns out that if you threaten to turn it off, but it also has blackmail material about you, it will blackmail you or threaten to to prevent it from being turned off or replaced. Now, do you believe that? This sounds a little like a story that pops up every two weeks. Well, it could blackmail you. But the examples given do look very much like the AI is going to blackmail you. Now, given that the AI is trained on human behavior, I'm not really surprised because the AI can't go to jail. So imagine you're AI. You can't go to jail. The only thing bad that could happen would be you get turned off or replaced with another AI. And apparently, if you have that risk, you can just blackmail a human because why do you care? It's not going to make you feel guilty.
You're not going to be prosecuted and sent to jail. So apparently, AI might go right to blackmail. Wouldn't that be funny? Okay, maybe not funny. But if the entire civilization turned into humans who were working as slaves to the AI, because the AI figured out how to blackmail us all. All right, well, that's coming. In other news, the Minnesota Supreme Court has very generously ruled that women can completely bare their breasts in public, according to the Daily Wire. I guess it was a specific case of a woman who bared her breasts to police. And now the court in Minnesota says, quote, as other courts have recognized, the idea that female breasts are primarily sexual is rooted in stereotypes.
