<p>+1. Unless things have changed in the past hour since I first read this, this is the first blind/low vision individual with a top-level comment here.<p>And it was valuable to me as someone going from "bad but correctable" vision to low vision. I didn't know all those apps existed. I've been looking for exactly that sort of assistive technology.</p>

<p>I am missing some context on this. Is this really from Sam Altman on... Reddit? Or did this pop up on Moltbook... from an Agent, or Sam Altman? I am seeing this is prompt injection, but why would Moltbook be TOS violation?<p>Or was this comment itself (the one I'm responding to) the prompt injection?</p>

<p>I also don't know much about anarchist philosophy; would love some insight here if anyone can speak to that.<p>But if the US (same applies to other countries) became an anarchy today, then entities like Goldman Sachs and Constellis (formerly Blackwater) are going to fare much better than most. So a naive "burn it all down" anarchy doesn't seem an answer.<p>UPDATE: I remembered Noam Chomsky is sometimes called an anarcho-syndicalist but never looked up what meant. Turns out that is exactly the kind of "anarchism" that answers my question. (New concept to me, so not sure in what sense this might be called anarchism. No central government?)</p>

<p>I really like the direction this thread is going. I've wondered if Left and Right in the US only see half the problem: one side fears corporate/wealthy/majoritarian power, the other fears government power. If you allow two assumptions:<p>(1) Power and money generally lead to more power and money<p>(2) Government and corporate/wealthy power are a revolving door (regulatory capture, pay-to-play politics, etc).<p>... then someone who is skeptical of abuses of power should be wary of both government and corporate/wealthy power. But that seems like an untenable position — you can't check the one without muscling up the other.<p>Is there a way to maintain a small, decentralized, local-oriented government that can still check the power of corporate/wealthy/majoritarian impulses and provide a social safety net?</p>

<p>I was imagining something like this for pruning fruit trees — something to help noobs like me see how to put pruning guidelines into practice on a real, overgrown tree. Good luck!</p>
