Banking must be done with a bank or a debit card provider, there is no escape

There’s always some kind of paper trail. If you use your passport, you’ve been tracked to that country. However, once inside that country, you could be anywhere. In the woods, in the city.
Then again, cameras are EVERYWHERE and facial recognition programs can find you instantly, especially in a city.
You’re right–there is no escape. At some point, do you just try to go on with your life and stop caring?

I have an escape route, but, Since most countries are eliminating paper currency, all transactions must be made through debit cards, so I will be located.
Take one plane ride to your destination using your passport, When you get to your destination, burn off your finger tips and re-do your face as much as possible, then hop on a ferry or boat to another island country.
Of course I’m joking

I just googled how to remove fingerprints and mutilation is involved. I’ll wait for the Men In Black method to become available.

Another option is to go to Miami and take the ferry to the Bahamas. You don’t need a passport and you stuff a few bags with cash, maybe a few millions and just chill out.

Europe sounds the alarm on ChatGPT
Alarmed by the growing risks posed by generative artificial intelligence (AI) platforms like ChatGPT, regulators and law enforcement agencies in Europe are looking for ways to slow humanity’s headlong rush into the digital future.
With few guardrails in place, ChatGPT, which responds to user queries in the form of essays, poems, spreadsheets and computer code, recorded over 1.6 billion visits since December. Europol, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation, warned at the end of March that ChatGPT, just one of thousands of AI platforms currently in use, can assist criminals with phishing, malware creation and even terrorist acts.
“If a potential criminal knows nothing about a particular crime area, ChatGPT can speed up the research process significantly by offering key information that can then be further explored in subsequent steps,” the Europol report stated. “As such, ChatGPT can be used to learn about a vast number of potential crime areas with no prior knowledge, ranging from how to break into a home to terrorism, cybercrime and child sexual abuse.”
Last month, Italy slapped a temporary ban on ChatGPT after a glitch exposed user files. The Italian privacy rights board Garante threatened the program’s creator, OpenAI, with millions of dollars in fines for privacy violations until it addresses questions of where users’ information goes and establishes age restrictions on the platform. Spain, France and Germany are looking into complaints of personal data violations — and this month the EU’s European Data Protection Board formed a task force to coordinate regulations across the 27-country European Union.

That’s surprising. You can barely send a package to Italy without postal workers stealing the contents.

Lol that’s a good one !
“Make a law telling a machine not to do something !” 
How you gonna punish a machine ?
I’m talking restricting law enforcement’s use of these machines to their intended use.

The NYPD Can Now Shoot GPS Trackers at Your Car
The StarChase Guardian-HX uses the lower receiver from an AR-15 rifle and launches adhesive-tipped GPS trackers to allow cops to track a vehicle remotely.
The Guardian-HX launcher is based on, of all things, an AR-15 rifle. The Guardian’s lower receiver — the part of the gun that holds the stock, pistol grip, trigger assembly, safety switch, and “magazine” — is interchangeable with any other AR-style rifle. (Amusingly, since the AR’s lower receiver is the part that contains its serial number, these may legally count as AR-15s.) Those accessories, too, are cross-compatible, save for two: The internal trigger assembly and magazine.
That’s because, in the Guardian, the trigger isn’t a trigger, and the magazine isn’t a magazine. The trigger itself is more of a button, an electronic system that activates the release of pressurized gas to propel the GPS projectile. The magazine is actually a battery.

ChatGPT Will Disrupt Many Jobs. These Are the Most at Risk.
Since the release of ChatGPT last year, companies and workers have been scrambling to understand how generative AI could impact the job market. On Monday, IBM (ticker: IBM) CEO Arvind Krishna said the company will pause hiring for roles that could be replaced by AI in the coming years. Back-office functions, such as human resources, will be hit first.

I do not think so!
my best example can be ChatGpt, they told me it can replace teachers and researchers and journalists and etc.
But in action, it is only being used for university presentations or translations.
I believe that they are developing but at the same time, I don’t think they can replace people! In the best form, they can be good assistants to people.

That might be the case with ChatGPT, but other forms of artificial intelligence will replace human workers.
IBM Plans To Replace Nearly 8,000 Jobs With AI — These Jobs Are First to Go
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna announced a hiring pause earlier this month, but that’s not all. He also stated the company plans to replace nearly 8,000 jobs with AI.
Krishna noted that back-office functions, specifically in the human resources (HR) sector, will be the first to face these changes.
The transition will happen gradually over the next few years, with machines potentially taking over up to 30% of noncustomer-facing roles in the five years. This means that workers in finance, accounting, HR and other areas will likely find themselves facing stiff competition from robots and algorithms.

Elon Musk sees an AI future where ‘no job is needed’
Elon Musk declared artificial intelligence “one of the most disruptive forces in history” in a sit down conversation with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that dove into the dangers and opportunities of AI on Thursday, capping off the UK’s inaugural AI Safety Summit.
“AI will be a force for good most likely,” Musk said. “But the probability of it going bad is not zero percent.”

Elon probably just watch the Disney/Pixar movie Wall-E to get that idea.

The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans
The deployment of AI-controlled drones that can make autonomous decisions about whether to kill human targets is moving closer to reality.
Lethal autonomous weapons, that can select targets using AI, are being developed by countries including the US, China, and Israel.
The use of the so-called “killer robots” would mark a disturbing development, say critics, handing life and death battlefield decisions to machines with no human input.
Several governments are lobbying the UN for a binding resolution restricting the use of AI killer drones, but the US is among a group of nations — which also includes Russia, Australia, and Israel — who are resisting any such move, favoring a non-binding resolution instead, The Times reported.
“This is really one of the most significant inflection points for humanity,” Alexander Kmentt, Austria’s chief negotiator on the issue, told The Times. “What’s the role of human beings in the use of force — it’s an absolutely fundamental security issue, a legal issue and an ethical issue.”
The Pentagon is working toward deploying swarms of thousands of AI-enabled drones, according to a notice published earlier this year.
In a speech in August, US Deputy Secretary of Defense, Kathleen Hicks, said technology like AI-controlled drone swarms would enable the US to offset China’s People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) numerical advantage in weapons and people.
“We’ll counter the PLA’s mass with mass of our own, but ours will be harder to plan for, harder to hit, harder to beat,” she said, reported Reuters.
Frank Kendall, the Air Force secretary, told The Times that AI drones will need to have the capability to make lethal decisions while under human supervision.
The New Scientist reported in October that AI-controlled drones have already been deployed on the battlefield by Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion, though it’s unclear if any have taken action resulting in human casualties.
