Everything else is just marketing and right sizing. For most things yeah, data bricks and no code sounds right. Most of their work is over the counter benign, but that’s to lend credibility to their other initiatives while funding their quite literal war coffers.

They have a bunch of dumb react components that can become the gui for live targeting systems, but that all happens post contract and in the liability of their customers, the organizations willing to expend human capital coming and going, e.g. militaries

Currently at 1 point but that’s because at least two people upvoted it and two people downvoted it

If I’m wrong, call me out.

Am I wrong??????????

They’re a guilt-free hands-washing service.

You pay them money, and they absolve you of your sins. That’s what Peter Thiel is on about.

That’s the technological progress he’s charioting us into his political theocracy with. The ability to label anyone that stands in his way “the Antichrist” which is just another loophole exploitation of the patriot act.

An ai company lol

That’s the crucial social layer that powers all of the everything else on the decentralized internet.

Take git as a social platform.

SSH is the social protocol.

GitHub centralized most of the git+ssh net, but that was a choice and we use all these other git+ssh services to not give them a monopoly.

Yeah, them as a single instance is centralized, but if you actually go (show up at 300 Funston on a Friday at 1pm) you can hear about the research into how to replicate and become the resiliency in the network to make it decentralized.

A lot of it is ancient Unix philosophy like “this massive text file is a seekable index” and “rsync does basically most of the heavy lifting” and you’ll quickly realize decentralization is a social problem and not a technical one.

They’re shifting more and better data than the centralized services we’re complaining about— we need better education, not innovation at this current juncture.

The technology exists, the will of the people is lacking in spirit.

The internet itself is the thing we want.

We’re just constantly in denial that the internet actually does the thing we want it to do.

The internet archive is an excellent demonstration of how to do it.

It’s primarily getting a ragtag group to pool resources and manage them and then gossip with other groups that are doing the same thing.

I’ve spent so much time around the archive that I plainly see a divide between internet people online that can’t connect the dots and internet people in real life that are confused as to why the dots aren’t connecting.

The easiest way to see the dots is to:

1. Stop trying to make money

2. Tally the things that cost money

3. Amortize the upkeep over time

E.g. where do we source resources from, where do we store resources and how do we secure them.

Like HTTP, but for physical materials, not digital.

They’re a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy for why it is a futile effort for trying to secure information near them.

It’s about the sum of all expression being able to be reflected back to you in such a way that Dawkins believes he’s met intelligent life.

Facebook and Google just slurped up their data centers, while Apple was encrypted.

I’ve talked to Apple engineers.

Siri fell behind due to how good Apple’s privacy is.

Everyone made fun of them for protecting them.

This is exactly the opposite of that, where Mark is throwing you and your children under the bus again because he’s unoriginal and doesn’t know how to make money any other way than by getting all up in your business, statistically.

It’s just that

“Move fast, break things, regulate impossible to repair.”

Tbvh the biggest downside of a Turing complete type system is that you can theoretically implement an application that compiles to dust.
