Just a hypothesis: the fact that there's no need for an American firewall might be a consequence of the information controls being enacted at the level of platform moderation, or DNS resolution. (I agree with you about authoritarianism

The second iteration will be interactive books - like that forsaken episode of Black Mirror was exploring. Taking us one step closer to "Diamond Age". Human connection doesn't necessarily has to be in the plot - the human beh

I agree. It is ironic that, at the very least, a LLM will maybe _improve_ the quality of a particular segment of publications.

Sounds good. Sadly, there's this thing called "hyper-stimulus" - someone mentioned recently "Infinite Jest" and the desire to watch a particular video over and over again. I do think the fear of this thought played

You might be referring to some of the studies associated with the "original affluent society" proposal. To think that all basic needs can be covered by a 3-5 hours of work a day is quite shocking for a judeo-christian that has bee

I would say there's a big problem when some of those lunatics are at the steering wheel of big nation states. So yeah, maybe not everyone, but the reward matrix in this game makes very difficult to ignore all of them.

Sure, I know that :) Today, many people are experiencing very unlikely events, unknown to them and to previous generations. While you cannot experience a trend , you do modulate your perception about what an improbable likelihood feels li

I guess you're referring to media jumping too quickly to "bad science" for every single event of floods, drought, fires etc, therefore using fear and producing saturation in fellow citizens. that said, I honestly have a bad t
