🦥 Ford patents plutocratic lane-changes

In my 2017 novel WALKAWAY, there's a scene where the protagonists get
into a self-driving car owned by a ruthless plutocrat, only to discover
that it moves faster than any other vehicle they've ever ridden.

https://craphound.com/category/walkaway/

The plute explains that he's done an illegal mod that lets him override
the lane-change safety margins and pay fines for it - an illustration of
the principle that "a fine is a price."

It was meant as broad satire, not a suggestion.

Specifically, it was meant to satirize the idea that if you create
"markets in everything" you'll get efficient allocations - some people
*really* want to change lanes and others only *sorta* want to change
lanes but the lane-change slots aren't allocated according to priority.

There are so many flaws in this idea, but the biggest one is that some
people are *very* rich and most people are *very* broke and so a
willingness on the part of a rich person to pay $X may indicate a mild
preference, but a poor person might be indicating a strong preference.

If $X is 100% of a poor person's disposable income and 0.000001% of a
rich person's disposable income, the rich person's whims trump the poor
person's needs. This is going on around us, all the time.

The richest parts of London have the lowest covid rates but also the
most rapid testing:

https://bylinetimes.com/2020/12/04/wealthy-london-areas-low-covid-case-rates-included-in-rapid-testing-programme/

Remember when Homer charged a $1000 baldness cure that revolutionized
his life to the company insurance and cost Mr Burns his ivory-handled
back-scratcher?

Burns: I was going to buy that ivory back scratcher. How did he do it?

Smithers: He charged the company for Dimoxinil.

Back to Walkaway. Cyberpunk has a funny relationship with capitalism's
most ardent trufans: inevitably, the parts that are meant as warnings
are read as suggestions.

Which brings me to Ford's Patent 20200380860: "Smart Contract Formation,
Handling and Fulfilment Between Vehicles."

https://trea.com/information/smart-contract-formation-handling-and-fulfilment-between-vehicles/patentapplication/ed72fddf-403e-4e5d-aeea-03cb2701296c

It's written in the garbage legalese of all patent applications, but
Patent Drop provides a handy translation: "imagine a car wants to
merge... other vehicles would need to slow down, and in turn an
inconvenience is created for them. Ford is proposing a system where the
vehicles that need to slow down receive a payment for slowing down,
while the vehicle that wants to do the slowing down, incurs a payment."

https://www.newzstack.com/newsletters/015-patent-drop

But there's more! Are you using a private vehicle on a route served by
public transit? You stand to be compensated!

"If a light changes prematurely to accommodate a bus, this could entitle
all vehicles with a certain distance of the light to light to a certain
payment."

I would say "You can't make this shit up," except that I make this shit
up for a living, but - and I can't repeat this often enough - as a
warning, not a suggestion.

capitalism.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/08/absolutely-remarkable-thing/#carls

V. FAILED STATE by Christopher Brown: A legal eco-thriller that imagines
the end of capitalism without imagining the end of the world - cyberpunk

rewilding.

VI. AFTERLAND by Lauren Beukes: Eerily well-timed road-trip novel set

Mar-a-Lago gator plague novel is a hectic and hilarious tale for our times.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/10/05/florida-man/#disappearing-act

VIII. THE MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE by Kim Stanley Robinson: KSR says it's
his last novel and I say it's the book he's been training to write all

enough to move you to tears...

lives destroyed by surveillance in order to fuel a fraudulent market in
ad-based manipulation.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/10/05/florida-man/#wannamakers-ghost

VIII. MONOPOLIES SUCK by Sally Hubbard: There are plenty of *great*
books about monopolies and the resurgence in antitrust, but Hubbard's is
the most practical, providing the reader with excellent advice for
actually *doing something* about monopolism.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/10/27/peads-r-us/#sally-hubbard

IX. BREAK 'EM UP by Zephyr Teachout: The most lucid, readable,

going at first go toxic over time.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/21/the-thief-of-joy/#tomine

IV. CONSTITUTION ILLUSTRATED by R Sikoryak: The Trump years were an
unhappy crash-course in Constitutional law, but Sikoryak's genius

a pure delight.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/07/27/ip/#r-sikoryak

Pinkwater novel, it defies description, it is brilliant, and it is his

supernatural beings from the Catskills!

that makes the case that Big Tech manipulates us and spies on us because
they have monopolies - not because they've developed devastating,
data-driven mind-control.

🦥 Armed cops terrorize Florida covid whistleblower

When covid struck Florida, Rebekah Jones - a data scientist working for
the state - created a dashboard to help people in the state follow the
disease's spread as Republican Governor Ron DeSantis lifted restrictions
and declared the state open for business.

DeSantis insisted that lifting restrictions was working fine, but the
data told a different story. In June, the state fired Jones after she
refused to manipulate the data to maintain the pretense that DeSantis's
plan wasn't slaughtering Floridians.

https://www.npr.org/2020/06/29/884551391/florida-scientist-says-she-was-fired-for-not-manipulating-covid-19-data

Jones was undaunted: she set up Florida Covid Action, an independent
dashboard that revealed the real case-counts and mortality in
counterpoint to the state's official story.

https://floridacovidaction.com/Fl

But yesterday morning, DeSantis turned the heat up: he sent armed police
to Jones's home to seize her computers and devices, cops who entered
with guns drawn, who aimed them at her small children:

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20201207/14591845837/florida-state-police-raid-home-covid-whistleblower-point-guns-her-her-family-seize-all-her-computer-equipment.shtml

They accused Jones of having used her old login credentials to send a
bulk-message to state workers urging them to come forward to blow the
whistle on data-manipulation by the state.

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article247680010.html

If you know anything about IT, you may be asking how it is that they
could have fired Jones but left her with the capability to send such
messages? According to the state's affidavit, "All authorized users use
the same user name and password."

https://amp.tallahassee.com/amp/6482817002

(Jones categorically denies sending the message.)

https://twitter.com/CuomoPrimeTime/status/1336157469622538240

Jones posted videos of the police aiming firearms at her and her small
children as they seized her systems.

https://twitter.com/GeoRebekah/status/1336065787900145665

She speculates that the real target of the warrant was her
correspondence with former colleagues in the state who wrote to her for
advice on blowing the whistle.

One of the books I reviewed in 2020 was Tim Schwartz's "A Public
Service" - a comprehensive guide to whistleblower safety. If you are
part of a whistleblowing project - as a leaker, advisor or reporter -
it's an essential read.

🦥 Uber pays to get rid of its self-driving cars

When they write the history of this era, one of the strangest chapters
will be devoted to Uber, a company that was never, ever going to be
profitable, which existed solely to launder billions for the Saudi royals.

From the start, Uber's "blitzscaling" strategy involved breaking local
taxi laws (incurring potentially unlimited civil liability) while losing
(lots of) money on every ride. They flushed billions and billions and
billions of dollars down the drain.

But they had billions to burn. Mohammed bin Salman, the murdering Crown
Prince of the Saudi royal family, funded Softbank - a Japanese
pump-and-dump investment scheme behind Wework and other grifts - with
$80B as part of his "Vision 2030" plan.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/11/24/zawinskiian-carcination/#gusher

Vision 2030 is a scheme to diversify Saudi wealth away from hydrocarbons
by attempting to establish monopolies that will allow the family to
control entire sectors of the global economy.

These schemes are longshots, and the fallback position is to unload
failed monopolies - with staggering debt-overhangs - on investors who've
been suckered with the promise that really big piles of shit surely have
a pony buried underneath them somewhere.

That's what happened with Uber's IPO, of course - Softbank and Mister
Bone Saw made out like bandits and Uber now lumbers on under the
ownership of problem gamblers who read the company's S1 and bought in
anyway.

The S1 - the document that explains how the company plans to be
profitable - set two conditions for Uber's profitability.

First, all the public transit in the world had to shut down and be
replaced by Uber.

Next, all the drivers had to be replaced by AIs.

Needless to say, neither of these things were ever going to happen.
Public transit is definitely in trouble after the pandemic, but we're
not gonna replace it all with Ubers.

And self-driving cars? Please.

Back in September, it became clear that Uber's self-driving car labs
were just window-dressing for the con. After spending $2.5B on the cars,
they'd come up with vehicles that could crawl half a mile before losing
their minds.

https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/30/death-to-all-monopoly/#pogo-stick-problem

(Of course, self-driving car huxters have an answer to this: they argue
that since cars can't cope with unpredictable human conduct, we should
just ban humans from acting unpredictably around their murderbots)

https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/3/17530232/self-driving-ai-winter-full-autonomy-waymo-tesla-uber

Every long con needs a "store" - a place where the con plays out, like a
fake betting shop where the scammers rope in the mark and fleece them of
every dime. But once the con is done, the store has to shut down amid a
"blow-off" that lets the grifters escape.

Uber's shutting down the AV part of its store: they "sold" the division
to a startup called Aurora, but the "sale" involves Uber "investing"
$400,000,000 in Aurora. That is, they've paid someone else to take this
bit of set-dressing off their hands.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/07/technology/uber-self-driving-car-project.html

If you want to learn more about how Uber will never, never, ever, ever
be a real business, be sure to tap into transport economist Hubert
Horan's series on the company, which he calls a "bezzle."
