I think it is a *very good idea* to #audit the insane amounts of #funding being sent from the #us to #ukraine - the same to #covid #funding and #spending https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hous.. There is *zero harm* to having #accountability , unless, of course, there is something to be discovered...
#oldham #council #caught acting very badly: https://youtube.com/watch?v=OtTuImGYJP4 Here's the thing, with zero #accountability , this is not the #exception , it's actually the #rule ! Most #uk #councils are run like complete shit. Most #funds from #central #government are not #advertised properly and then eaten up by other things, such as #staff #parties , #private #contracts , etc. There is insane levels of #corruption there.

The process of doing a #daily #brief has been extremely useful: https://coffeespace.org.uk/daily/2021-09.. I have realised that I currently have an #optimismfactor of about 2.4 and incorrectly #prioritize non-essential works first. Knowing this, I can now work on these items. This is a result of my #coffeespace #article on #accountability https://coffeespace.org.uk/blogs/account..
A pretty interesting #argument made against #ethereum #crypto #coin https://tomerstrolight.medium.com/the-pr.. Essentially it boils down to the #difficultybomb being pushed further and further back, without #accountability . My biggest concern is the lack of #regulation (which could be thought of as accountability) and the fluctuations of such a currency. It's both #decentralized - but also #destabilized !
Crappy list of problems for #ai in 2020 include #accountability , #humanintervention , #ethicalissues and #bias https://www.tenproblems.com/2020/01/16/t.. Sounds more like a wish-list to flog a #book - something pointed out in the comments section: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=275..
