Yes, struggling with it at the moment.


It is not giving me another option, just asking for the 8-digit code after I enter the email and password. When I click on try another method, it says you didn't give enough information to verify that this account belongs to you.


Even if you do that same thing several times? (For me it eventually changes)


Let me try this, should I keep on doing this again and again or after a gap of few hours/days?


Again and again, just 4 or 5 times.


They doesn't play all the times. Last month, I made over $100 on YouTube and at the end of the month, my monetization was disbaled. This month I didn't get any payments :(


I am seeing this error "Our CDN was unable to reach our servers"


It seems to be working fine now.


Still intermittent for me.


I have been using ProtonMail for more about a year and never faced any issue. Never used Tutanota.


Great news. It will make my working faster now.


WASHINGTON, June 7 (Reuters) - Britain will host a global summit on artificial intelligence safety later this year and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and U.S. President Joe Biden will discuss the technology at their Thursday meeting, the UK government said.

The summit will consider the risks of AI, including frontier systems, and discuss how they can be mitigated through internationally coordinated action, the British government said in a statement. No date was given for the event.

Biden and Sunak, who will meet on Thursday for a fourth time in as many months, will work to coordinate their approaches on critical and emerging technologies, with an eye to strengthening their economic security, British and U.S. officials said.

U.S. technology company Palantir Technologies, which already has more than 800 employees in Britain, will separately announce plans to make the UK its new European headquarters for AI development, the British government said.

Sunak planned wide-ranging discussions with Biden on the UK-U.S. relationship and how the two countries could work together to strengthen their economies and cement their "joint leadership in the technologies of the future," the government said.

Several governments are considering how to mitigate the dangers of the emerging technology, which has experienced a boom in investment and consumer popularity in recent months after the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT.

That includes China, where the government is seeking to initiate artificial intelligence regulations, according to billionaire Elon Musk who met officials during his recent trip to China.

Regulators globally have been scrambling to draw up rules governing the use of generative AI, which can create text and images, the impact of which proponents compare to the arrival of the internet.


AI usage is increasing all the time and it is going to increase at more rapid speed in the future.


Bigger tax for bigger business. Fair enough.


The US income tax was originally supposed to be a tax on just the richest, too.

These things have a way of scope creeping.


I can't find any evidence of this: the earliest US income tax was levied for the Civil War, and amounted to a 3% tax on anybody making around $27,000 (in 2022 dollars). That's not a particularly "rich" cutoff.

Edit: about $27,000[1].

I think they're referring to the one that was enabled by the amendment.


Okay. In that case the cutoff was around $80,000 in today's money, which is certainly not poor (but not rich either).


Top three percent is fairly rich.

> The Revenue Act of 1913 ... established a one percent tax on income above $3,000 per year; the tax affected approximately three percent of the population.

Not in absolute terms: the fact that 97% of Americans in 1913 made less than $80,000 equivalent per year is more a testament to America (and broadly the world's) staggering poverty relative to our current wealth.

Put another way: you can't tax destitute people (at least not for long, and not without losing your head), but can absolutely can tax the average American household in 2021[1].

Weren't substantial percentages of the US still on subsistence farming/bartering at the time? It's hard to income tax a society without much income.


Destitute people have always been heavily taxed, since the beginning of civilization. It's called interest on farm loans, rent, work duty, soldier duty, etc.


The difference in the amount of tax has a big effect on post tax money. If it's 45% (city + state + federal + social security etc.) you'd have to make x * (1 - 45%) = $80K * (1 - 3%), solving for x gives $141K which is a big difference.


True, but for everyone except the richest, a tax that’s originally targeting the rich that ends up scope-creeping to include the common man down the line is still better than a tax that targets the common man right from the beginning.


No, it just acclimates people to their government lying to them.

When (or if) they protest new measures, they're gaslit as if their concerns are hyperbolic and that scope creep isn't a thing that happens.

Fauci and others admitted to intentionally misleading people. In particular, I'm thinking of when they were trotting out the % of the population that would need to be vaccinated, which crept up from 60% to over 85, before they stopped talking numbers altogether.[0]

Now, you've got people who were already predisposed to mistrust authority who will flat-out disbelieve anything that comes out of the CDC, even if the CDC told them the sky was blue.

Who decides what's bigger? Those taxes are going to make almost zero changes since customers and workers are going to pay for it, same ol' story about the triangle company-worker-customer.
