<p>It's insane to me that this isn't the default view. How are you supposed to follow the law if you don't know what it is? Putting a price on it just makes it is basically criminalizing being poor.<p>Which is what we arguably have already considering the state of public defenders, jail, bail system, and how often the rich get off scot free for their crimes.</p>

<p>I think there are clear benefits to having neighbors and your general community not lead poisoned.<p>So yeah, I think that cost should be split among the entire municipality.<p>I find it interesting that you have such a libertarian viewpoint on the one... But not the other. Is this not a direct government monopoly?</p>

<p>> work which burns through money repeating things we already know (racism is bad! poor people are sicker!) and accomplishing exactly nothing<p>Why do we need to study the sun? We already know it goes around the Earth.<p>Flippant, but the point should be clear. Some of the most taken for granted things can also be the ones least studied... And least understood. Wouldn't you like to know <i>why</i> being poor leads to worse outcomes? Perhaps confounding factors?</p>

<p>Auditing is assumption of blame or responsibility to another party.<p>They are incentivized to strike the best balance of certifying (who wants to go to a place that never certifies) and validity (rubber stamp mills reflect the blame).<p>Yes, it is meant to be adversarial, to a point.</p>

<p>That is a complete distraction from Meta in particular selling social media hard to kids even knowing that their work explicitly caused mental harm.<p>This is not a I own stock am I culpable issue, it is a company knowing their product is dangerous and ignoring the issues because it doesn't make them more money.<p>Same shit as the tobacco industry. People do banally evil shit for money.</p>

<p>You're not wrong. It's almost a religious fervor. And much like so many religious figures, you get a sort of Rorschach test on how you use/view it.<p>Is it a tool? Is it going to make humans obsolete?<p>Doesn't matter because if you don't praise and adore AI the [market|capital] will leave you behind.<p>It's pervasive as fuck. I go into stores with local artists and can't help but think what of this was made with AI. It draws me more towards physical things that cannot have been tainted.</p>
