Not to be confused with the fantastic AI Now institute, run by Meredith Whittaker of Signal among others.

Almost feels like name squatting

For a vpn with mixnet that actually works I recommend NYM. Really cool tech, cool crowd, and constantly improving. More anonymous and private than tor in a lot of respects. Has all the affiliates you would expect: Snowden, Manning etc.

And you're saying Americans aren't banned from criticising their elites?

I read his autobiography. Surely that entitles me to one irrelevant crude sex joke.

RIP Tim, the best derivative by the book uninspired machine to ever do it.

If AI can create it- it's probably already been created and thought of before?

As one of the seemingly few people in this comments section who don't use it for coding, it seems far far more substantial and able to produce insights in written conversation than opus 4.6 for me

Mozilla doesn't have the willpower or vision to do anything with anything.

Yep- we lost the "meat" and "warmth" of our societies, and our civics and idealism in the past 15 years, which would have been the very things to guide us through this transition.

How do you fix that? We're instigating social media bans- reading levels are declining- media consolidation is dumbing us down further- insane egotism is stopping people from developing as well rounded people- .

For me it would be a stronger media ecosystem (publicly funded), more non algorithmic and non likes driven social media (replace a bad vice with a less bad one), national digital detox days, and a ratification of a charter of inviolable human traits and dignities, and protected cultural areas (no ai art, writing for sale).

For all of the recipients. Tearing up a bit reading stories of courage that will never get the same recognition just because they weren't born a human.

Ever since they minted their deal with Australia everything has been turned upside down.

I found a great piece from the halal times that backs up my claim

https://www.halaltimes.com/indian-media-has-become-a-factory...

It's fully up to you if you want to generalise before you read based on the publications name. I won't judge. If we read the times of india in full every time to give it the benefit of the doubt and counter our biases, the world would be a far less productive place. If a country's media has a reputation for low fact checking it's usually deserved.

Drop Site News, 404 Media, Boston Review, The Intercept, and Atavist are all very worth supporting.

You misunderstand my comment a little. It was reddit but with the modular moderation of bluesky (you could block politics and political words on sign up). It was a genuinely interesting and vibrant community effort, even if its' userbase was seriously misguided on the whole.

Don't you think knee jerk reactions like yours are part of the reason some people find it so hard to de radicalise?

Thought this was about ruqqus for a second. Rip the bluesky of the right, you were fun.
