Use a VPN from country that is hostile to the one you are living in. This way your own country won’t spy on you.

People tend to worry about other countries, but it is usually within the country they live in that they have to worry about their rights being infringed.

This is exactly what Marx meant by labourers being alienated from their work because none of them understood anymore how the repetitive task they did factored into the product sold.

We are going through a transition from a guild based software production with primitive division of labour to a machinery based one where AI is the steam engine and the job of the engineer is to build the production line, be the mechanic fixing the line, and also the assembly line worker.

It’s still a bit with only two possible values. But they add a scaling factor to a group of them (128 for example) which when you factor in, results in a fractional number of bits per parameter.

You are right. I was confusing it with another company LinearB. I should have double checked.

All of these posts are a replay of what Marx wrote about machinery and alienation from work and intensification of the workday.

Re: Western. A similar thing plays out when the term "international community" is used in news. It refers to the US and its major allies which means US, Canada, Western Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand more or less.
