Europe is now on the record with "People Last" as a policy. They characterize the position of the police as having to "protect and serve" both robots and humans.
NEW - Europol releases 48-page report detailing how AI and robots may brainwash humans, trigger a Human-Machine war around 2035, and lead to a human uprising with "populist calls to 'put people first.'"
Warren Buffett on Currency Debauchment
And obviously we wouldn’t want to be owning anything that we though was in a currency that was really going to hell. And that’s the big thing that we worry about with the United States’ currency.
The tendency of government to want to debase its currency over time, there’s no system that beats that. You can pick representatives, you can do anything, but… there will be a push toward weaker currencies…Fiscal policy is what scares me in the United States because it’s made the way it is. And all the motivations are doing a lot of things that…can cause trouble with money.
But that’s not limited to the United States. It’s all over the world, and some places it gets out of control regularly…they devalue at rates that are breathtaking. And that’s continued. I mean, people can study economics, you can have all kinds of arrangements, but in the end, if you’ve got people that control the currency, you can issue paper money—and you will—or you can engage in clipping currency like they used to centuries ago.
There will always be people—it’s the nature of their job; I’m not singling them out as particularly evil or anything like that—but the natural course of government is to make the currency worth less over time and that’s got important consequences. And it’s very hard to build checks and balances into the system to keep that from happening.
