I think their problem might really be about the delivery method. Have a vaccine that can be delivered as a cough, they seem to be ok with coughing in public spaces without covering their mouth.

There’s more than one movie about aliens who use global warming to wipe out humanity. AI data centers seem to be doing just that in more than one way. No need for an alien invader though, even a primitive species adapted for all the nooks and nuances of the environment is far more adept at it, it just needs to be diseased.

The real danger isn’t a smart AI - the smartest people don’t end up being in charge of our societies. The real danger is having enough control to be able to con most of our society, and seeing how much our societies are willing to continue participating in clearly compromised special interest social networks, I don’t have a lot of faith. Barely a difference if humanity is replaced or just led to the lowest common denominator of exploitation at that point, and that’s where we are heading politically.

Brb, giving up my entire means of livelihood in an environment where I can’t even sell off my assets because they are also banned, all in this job market. Sounds like a good way to quickly block major roadways with tractors, fuck cars should be happy.

Gambling implies there’s still the concept of luck and not of insider trading.

They’ve already disabled old.reddit for me. That makes it unusable, and thank you, Reddit. I actually used a domain blocker to block reddit, but generally would still be tempted to peek. Now, that is no longer the case. I, for one, am wholly in support of Reddit’s new anti-advertising stance!

They are in the business of attracting new users into their new algorithmic engagement hellhole now. Show any propensity of interest, and you will get sidetracked to the most godawful side-communities that seem to have emerged to engage as many victims as possible. They do not want to focus on their old users as anything less than the content they already made that makes reddit show up as free advertisement to their new base in search engines. It’s all a game of “it’s the algorithm’s fault so you can’t blame us” now.

The Italian Postal Police secretly searched A/I’s main server in 2004 and decrypted user content, which was discovered a year later through a document inquiry. In response, the collective adopted a redundant distributed server architecture.

Then it should be easy to run it in some other domain. They’ve also been blocked off from donations, which is the motor that keeps them running. It’s easy to do that when your own government is part of the problem and won’t stand up for you or even engage in diplomatic actions. Just because the hegemony has the US at the top does not make it just about the US.

Without addressing or even acknowledging the core political problems, just moving to a decentralized DNS system is just asking for more the next step in asset and personnel seizure and incarceration. Not that politically this is stopping the reactionary populists from increasingly classifying the “left” as a terrorist group: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/how-a-leftist-network-used-by-terrorists-operated-in-plain-sight-for-years/ar-AA2bct9u

If you can’t or are unwilling to see this as part of a global movement, I don’t know what to tell you, the billionaire oligarchy representatives over at the Heritage Foundation couldn’t have been more clear, just like their influence.

Largely because they’ve got their easily purchasable corrupt politicians reactionary populists running Italy right now. You can’t ignore the politics of the country your host is in, and unfortunately, the billionaires want to extend their oligarchies internationally and would even willingly turn them into dictatorships if that’s what it takes. It’s the canary in the coal mine for Europe, because this is happening in a lot of places there.
