It will end up distilled into open-weights models.

Unfortunately they won't be stopped, so we have to look for the solution ourselves:

- Linux distros without age verification (which excludes distros with systemd)

- decentralized/distributed microblogging: Nostr, Bluesky, Mastodon

- decentralized social news sites: Lemmy

- GrapheneOS

Because it's the first step.

Good point.

As someone who has been forced at the Australian border to unlock my phone, and seen it taken away, maybe this isn't a bad idea.

Let alone the world.

Shouldn't it be the opposite?

As the cost of persuasion by AI drops to almost zero, anyone can convincingly persuade, not just the elites.

And it's a precursor of the digital id app due in 2026. Get used to the government knowing every site you log into.

I would add:

7. No links.

Otherwise it will become an activist platform where the blues and the reds fight for clicks.

Interesting. Do you have a link on this?

The analogy doesn't match the main characteristics of feudalism, therefore it's a fallacy.

Parler got deplatforming in days, if not hours. It tells you what the priorities are, regardless of your political views.

This is proving that NYT and most MSM aren't trustworthy, and hence my question. If you still trust the NYT for other kinds of news, then it means you have Gell-Mann amnesia.

WikiLeaks published these leaks in two batches. My guess is that one of the batches was from the DNC insider and the other one from Russian hackers.

I don't think it's about funding. WikiLeaks likely has enough money from BTC donations a long time ago.

The know-how is in Assange's mind, and he's in prison.

"Do you tell applicants to Estonia’s E Residency program that if their country has CFC laws (most do), they’re risking getting double taxed and fined in their home countries for being the majority owner in a foreign corporation?"

Believing in the mission.

No. Some NFTs are definitely art, like the ones by @beeple on Twitter. There are also NFTs that work as a membership card for a community, like BAYC. And of course there are scams too. You're oversimplifying.

NFT art was likely a bubble, not a Ponzi. Many investments are bubbles, but not Ponzis.

What you said is orthogonal, not opposite.

You can self-host your Bitcoin node, the Uniswap front-end, etc. You can be your own bank.

I've seen posts on r/selfhosted about Uniswap out other DeFi protocols being downvoted to oblivion and with comments like "burn crypto too the ground". They want people to have autonomy, except when it comes to money.

It has happened in other countries, like Cyprus. Accounts were also insured up to 200k EUR (or I think it was only 100k at the time).

Exchanges aren't part of the protocol.

Or that the NYT and the connected elites have an agenda?

This NYT puff piece is a shame. It doesn't mention the fraud committed of using users' funds, servers wiped out, etc.

And put this in the context of the NYT writing negative pieces for 10 years on almost every tech founder.
