stung me about 5 times in one sec.
tried to catch one bare handed not knowing what it was. OUCH!
The digital police state isn’t looming. It’s operational. Active. Up and running 24/7.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth: it thrives because most people are too distracted, too comfortable, or too busy to give a damn.

reads like cyber solzhenitsyn
touching a lot of grass today. good for the soul.
If they can hijack thought, they don’t need to #censor. If they can shape the questions, they don’t care what answers you reach. If they can trigger your response before you’re even aware, they already won.

Struggle for Silence.
"This is complicated and technical"
Pre-Urbit: Eh....maybe I'll try
Post-Urbit: Nah, I got this!
Urbit gives you superpowers.... lol.

Yet, I still wonder if the models imprint the soul of the builders...... meaning if the trainers/datasets are double-minded, dishonest, duplicitous, self righteous, etc. the LLM develops athe schizophrenic personality we observe. .... The Big Data Cult just want to feed them more and more. garbage in, garbage out. ///
side note. Makes me wonder how a model trained only on virtues and classics would behave.
What a wealthy man. Had friends that would mount a marker in a river.
or is this the ritual required to get "permission for success"?
They want a world where every move you make is logged, labeled, sold, and stored.
Where anonymity is treated like a crime.
Where dissent is an algorithmic flag, not a human right.
Don’t give them that world.

For a future write up, I'd be curious about the state of zero knowledge proof technology. Where is it at today? What to keep an eye on? etc.
If I understand it, isn't this the exact use case for Zero Knowledge Proof technology? An encrypted app/tool that verifies you are you, but doesn't share the private information anywhere with anyone. It just verifies to the 3rd party that you provable meet "x" criteria.
I think this is the vision of zorp/nockchain, but feel free to correct me.
Does the gitcitadel project provide solutions for archiving versions / authenticity of ebooks? I wonder about the capabilities of maintaining authentic copies on projects like Gutenberg that don't drift overtime.
I hear ya. I wonder what the experience is for the old HAM radio guys. Spending hours to make a contact? I have no idea....... I guess try to be humble and stack connections? What alternative is there?
Bread and circus yes. But the subtle gangrene of propaganda is key. Once you see, Amputation is the best option.
Yes, but stay under 35lbs and wore minimals for 6-8 months before starting so body was more conditioned for it. No problems or complaints.
