Modern age was the weakest. Beyond that you got to space which could’ve been fun if you managed to get that far.

I got the collector edition. Never again.

Swiss neutrality doesn’t mean they can’t be part of an economic or even political organization. Switzerland is part of the UN, various economic unions, treaties and organizations, European human rights council etc. NATO would be more of an issue, but becoming an EU member isn’t conflicting with neutrality. There are other issues regarding sovereignty and our direct democracy and probably a couple more if joining the EU ever becomes a serious topic, but neutrality isn’t a problem.

Cause it’s neither a hopeful nor inspiring future. We see the harms of social media, subscription only services, enshittification everywhere and the youth graduates into a job market where the ‘most prestigious’ companies aid in several genocides, their leaders and/or owners are pedos, Nazis or both and most important of all keep announcing the end of human labor.

What is there to be excited about?

We owe our children and grand children a better outlook on life.

The difference is that none of the charges are commonly associated with terrorism. The judge had to invent a “terrorism connection” in addition to the normal charges.

Yeah, “fight” is not the best word. We have to start building more resilient systems now that survive crisis better than monopolistic oligarchies. I love finding ideas for this in frameworks following Solarpunk values. It’s not perfect, but I rather help building towards a hopeful utopian future with some flaws than the dystopia we seem to race towards.

I’ll frame your comment and hang it om my wall.

We need to fight against a cyberpunk future no matter what.

You just need to be able to reduce the risk. They all operate like this. You can’t have complete certainty, even pre-LLMs. If the answers are wrong in only 0.001% cases and gravely wrong in 0.00001% cases it may be worth the risk. You gotta be able to sue for damages after all.

People most worry about the hidden cameras and being filmed without noticing and consent. The tech being open wouldn’t change that, even though I agree that an open platform would be awesome.

I’m not so sure. The AI hate in the general population is real. The fact that all these companies immediately claimed to replace all human labor within months, made them the enemy of the people, regardless how false these predictions were.

Banks are not liked either, but they are not hated in the same way. At least in the general public a mortgage seems to be the responsibility of both parties. “So the banks speculated, we still need houses and mortgages.”

I’m not so sure you can explain away the AI bubble that easily. Occupy Wallstreet will be a small affair in comparison.

I had no idea there were so many methods

This proposal would make much more sense after the bubble collapses.

Sometimes they just hire an outside consultant as a scapegoat. You can’t tell me the CEOs don’t know they need to fire people to lower operational costs. Consultants help to decide who to fire and how to package it for employees, the board, shareholders and the public. That way the CEO can cover his ass.

True that. The problem is probably my social and professional bubble that I need to get out of.

That makes a lot of sense. If the print just holds the critical parts, forget it.

I write software but I radicalized myself with Solarpunk. Now I need to find a way I can put my talents towards a tech positive future while Big Tech is turning fascist and hate against LLMs becomes nondifferentiating.

I agree, but does that really inform proper carbon sequestration to combat climate change? It feels a bit like a stretch to make such a connection so early in a discovery/analysis.

The algos don’t need to deny any or every part of a gun, but the most critical part must not be printable and it’ll already be effective.

I’m neither very experienced with firearms nor printing, maybe such a thing doesn’t exist for a gun, but I suspect there’s a few very important pieces that need to be printed a certain way or the firearm falls apart or is at least a lot less useful.

All that said, I’m generally against such limiting mechanism in any printer or compiler. Try close sourcing all compilers so they can’t create malware? Forget it.
