I don't think we're looking at a collapse like we have seen historically. I think this will be more of a side shift, where the Gov adapts the tech it can to serve its ends but eventually just becomes obsolete

I recently looked into dsound again and I'm not sure if it's gone or just under serious reconstruction. The little I could find about it led me to believe there were too many plagiarism/copyright issues

"If there is no free will, then we are all merely machines. And, if we are all merely machines, then the likelihood that other 'machines' (i.e. machine-learning algorithms and AI) overtake the human

I still haven’t been able to finish it. It gets toward 8 minutes in and freezes then snaps back to 2:43 when I try to restart anywhere.

This video from peakd and from the 3speak link cuts out before the end and gets hung when I reload it. Anyone else having issues?

There was a time I probably would have agreed with you out of hand, but lately I’ve been questioning free will and if it really even exists and I have landed on anything solid yet. If one is primed to

“A bear will make you humble.” reminded me of this. It’s not exactly what you were talking about but it’s kinda the same.

I feel like AI can go in any direction we can and farther. The more data an algorithm has to analyze the more it can narrow down a conclusion. Isn't that the same thing we do? We take the data of our

I think machines already exercise judgement and it will only get more sophisticated.

When I was a teen, I looked at things like the drug war and punitive action attempts to dictate morality, and just knew that someday gov would go too far and the people would rise up and set things straight.

I still have Signal. I'm not anti messaging app. I just don't like to use stuff Facebook controls. Once I found out they owned Whatsapp and Instagram I stopped using one and just never really got into

This is good advice, but I don't think people jump ship so much as find it difficult to focus on something different, and no one wants to read, or put out another lame "OMG, It's a bloodbath!"

I deleted whatsapp. That works pretty well, too. :D

This illuminated a concept I haven’t considered before I’d like to share. Right now we seem to be somewhat clumsy with our tools. Religion, government, corporations are all tools humanity invented to get

Could you give a few practical use cases for programmable money? My foggy brain has a difficult time seeing beyond a built in bot that trades based on value in contrast with other assets, but a btc that

$42,500.

Yes! But I can’t power up leo AND send it to the cub farm. Life is cruel. 😜

I power up everything except some Hive for trading and now Leo these days for cub. But it’s always painful to do. 😕

Hey man! Do you get all this information from strictly reading or are there podcasts you listen to along the way? I’d like to find some good source material to listen to at work.

Thanks for putting this out. It’s a very good intro to some concepts and ideas I should delve into deeper.
