  • If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?

    Jump

  • Unless, of course, that income is in the form of increased stock value, and the owner never creates a taxable event. We will continue to be taxed on increasingly diminishing wages while wealth accumulates in the hands of those who pay no taxes.

    I don’t think it’s foolish to suggest taxing the owners of these machines as way securing economic stability. Although it would be foolish to think it will happen without a real revolution.

  • I feel like nobody read the article. It mentioned an “ad carousel” which would be a fairly standard way to offset costs on free plans. I don’t see that specifically as being enshitification. Now, if they start altering AI responses, that is definitely enshitification. I have no doubt they will eventually get there, but I don’t think that’s what this article is about.

    We owe it to ourselves to keep those people purged from voter rolls and forced to wait in hours long lines in mind when we talk about the election.

  • I was so hopeful they might just skip one yearly release and focus on bug fixes and technical debt. But then they go and change the name of the version to match the calendar year, and now I’m convinced we’re never going to get a stable iOS again.

  • I asked ChatGPT what would happen. Here you go:

    If every atom in the universe suddenly gained one extra electron, the result would be instant, universe-ending chaos — in less than a nanosecond. Here’s why:

    ⸻

    1. Universal Negative Charge Imbalance

    Right now, matter is electrically neutral — the positive charges in nuclei balance the negative charges of electrons. Adding one electron to every atom makes every single atom negatively charged. The universe instantly becomes dominated by repulsive electrostatic forces.

    Coulomb’s law tells us electric forces are ~10³⁶ times stronger than gravity. That means: • Atoms would violently repel each other. • Molecules couldn’t hold together. • Planets, stars, and galaxies — all held together by gravity — would be ripped apart by overwhelming electrostatic repulsion.

    Within moments, all normal matter disintegrates into a plasma of electrons and nuclei being hurled away from each other.

    ⸻

    2. Collapse of Atomic and Molecular Structure

    Each atom now has one more electron than its nucleus can bind: • The extra electron would either occupy a weakly bound outer orbital or be completely unbound. • Chemical bonds depend on balanced electron sharing — those would fail instantly. • Solids, liquids, and gases all cease to exist in recognizable form.

    Essentially, chemistry ends. There’s no more “matter” in the familiar sense — just a roiling cloud of charged particles.

    ⸻

    3. Energy Release on an Unimaginable Scale

    The addition of an electron to every atom requires — or releases — colossal energy, depending on the element and context: • Ionization energies and electron affinities differ between atoms. • You’re effectively forcing a global-scale electron capture reaction.

    But the real kicker is that the sudden Coulomb repulsion between everything would dwarf any nuclear explosion imaginable. The entire universe’s matter would “explode” outward — far beyond the speed of galactic escape velocities — powered by the electrostatic potential energy now released.

    ⸻

    4. No Stable Matter, No Light, No Universe

    With matter annihilated into a universal electron-ion plasma: • Photons would scatter off free charges (via Thomson scattering). • The universe would become completely opaque. • Eventually, as it expands and cools, you might end up with diffuse clouds of charged particles, but never stable atoms again.

    You’d basically reset the universe to something like an ultra-energetic pre-recombination plasma — except with the wrong charge balance and no chance of re-neutralizing.

    ⸻

    In short:

    Adding one extra electron to every atom would: • Destroy all atomic and molecular structure. • Overwhelm gravity entirely. • Convert the universe into a high-energy, negatively charged plasma. • Likely erase all physical structures — stars, planets, life, everything — in an instant.

    It’s not a slow catastrophe; it’s an immediate, total one.
