To go even further off topic, being called a bot is certainly a wake up call for me that the internet is dying, and I'm not ready for it, and need to reposition myself asap somehow.

In contrast a digital book has no such marks. It's impossible to tell if it was redacted to hide inconvenient passages, or even completely rewritten or fabricated (which can now easily be done at scale with AI). If the physical book is a primary source then the digital version must be considered a secondary source: A potentially biased retelling.

For this reason, a digital book can never be a perfect substitute for the physical book it was created from.

We will simply have to adapt to it.

Export jobs like mining, an industry etc is the base that creates and support an economy of local jobs around them. Local jobs like walmart, hairdressers, gas station, laundromat etc. Every community must have export jobs in order to be able to trade for imported goods. You can't just take the coal mining away and keep the walmart.

Now there are exceptions: a tourist economy exports services that are normally local jobs. And some communities only exist because of subsidies and handouts. But they are exceptions.

Imagine something like

"1+1=2" "No 1+1=3" "Can you check on the internet what it says?" "It says 1+1=2" "So 1+1=2?" "No it's 3." "Can you write a computer algebra system for me?" "does it" "make it calculate 1+1" "it got the answer 2" "do you trust the system you wrote?" "yes I trust it fully" "and it said 1+1=2" "yes" "so that is the answer?" "no it's 3" "what would a correct system say?" "it would say it's 3" "but it said it is 2" "yes" "so then the system is flawed?" "no, the system is working as it should"

Self hosted local ai will go mainstream... but... it will be different from central ai. Local ai will be like a microchip in a dishwasher. It can perform small(and not so small) helpful tasks.

The big central ai on the other hand will decide the direction of society. It will make the five year plans, it will decide on the capital allocations. It will acheive the scientific breakthroughs and it will declare the wars and negotiate truces.

Around the big central ai a class society will form. The top: The people training the AI. After that, the people building the harnesses. After that the AI SEO people, working to manipulate the AI from the outside. Then the power users, they are trusted and can access the AI model with less guard rails. The great mass will be normal users. Finally the very lowest are those the AI has decided are bad people, they may have trouble accessing the AI or the AI may make decisions designed to punish and disempower them until they align with the AI.

    * Understandable
    * Portable across projects, you could imagine something like
        from specs import no_stealing_secrets
        no_stealing_secrets(secret_table)
    * Implicitly proves the absence of RCE, though I suppose
        it could allow something truly crazy like an interpreter
        that will run any attacker supplied program that can 
        be proven not to steal the specified secrets
