What’s up today? (Part 1)

In the case of corporate and company secrets it will be a case of AI replacing the managers so there will be no managers with corporate secrets to watch. Only the top managers and they would be excluded from being watched anyhow. :wink:

Skimmed, but I fear the value only == money crowd. I cannot see any sci-fi stuff where cash is visible in the future and I am not convinced we will always need money. A lot of the post individual points I can agree with and see it as probably correct. I am also not of the belief of only one winner as I believe many algorithms/protocols seem to win only to be replaced by older ideas, reworked, never mind newer better ideas (i.e aggregated EC signatures even right now, or quic over tcp etc.). You can see this in math and particularly cryptography which features highly in crypto currencies (currencies alone). There is never a claim of one algorithm to rule them all. I think it is dangerous to think that and instead take a view of what currently seems to lead the pack, but always understand evolution does not stop and neither does innovation.

A big area right now, capitalism or communism/socialism or in AI, stochastic gradient descent verses neuroevolution, even in small areas like roulette selection and so on (relu and so on) shows that when you pick the winner is important and very dynamic. To win, the race needs to be over, I don’t see many races completed so far, neither politically or technically and therefore selecting a winner during a race is likely to lead to a gamble as opposed to a factual statement.

It’s been three days, but:

Sounds pretty radical. And this:

Under the new policy, anyone searching for racist content or phrases like “Heil Hitler” will be directed to the Life After Hate organization which provides services for former white supremacists and extremists like educational resources, support groups, and crisis intervention.

^^^^^^
It’s pretty funny at first glance, but also daft when you think about it. The white whatever folks will just move elsewhere. All that FB does is wash their hands after dumping a smoking ember.

Why would it be Facebook’s responsibility to stop those “elsewhere” places from accommodating the white supremacist scum?

They are taking a step towards stopping them on their platform and that, whatever the reason behind it, is a welcome change. Yes, they should’ve taken action earlier so that they wouldn’t have been part of the problem to this extent. But still, taking themselves out of the game, even if this late, is a positive development.

I don’t know and I have absolutely no idea how you came to the conclusion I suggested anything of the sort.

The truth is, having them around Facebook means Facebook can at least keep them under their endearing surveillance, monitor them and possibly report them to authorities.

If they move under the radar, it will help them.

I guess I read too much into what you wrote (“All that FB does is wash their hands after dumping a smoking ember.”)

Entertaining scum so that they could be reported to the authorities? I doubt that fits any company’s business model.

Interestingly though, that thought did cross my mind before. I was thinking about putting together a service with closed groups for easy communication and data sharing with the premise of total anonymity, almost as if it was custom made for all the pedos and other criminal rings, enough so that my service would’ve gained international notoriety for its being the gathering spot for such elements. And then, when enough of them are on the service with enough data collected, flip them to the respective authorities all across the world. Woulda been a blast.

We need to acknowledge that the Safe Network will be that service minus the possibility of flipping them to the authorities, as a subset or direct consequence of its design goals.

I feel like debating moral implications of the Safe Network, but it probably deserves its own thread.

I think it’s been done before but honestly there’s not much to debate. If the Safe Network will work as designed it will be a safe digital home for everyone regardless of morality. That’s just how it is.

Interesting twitter thread here on the history of Mastercoin/omni protocol ecosystem with brief mention of MaidSafeCoin plus a “What can we learn from this?” open question that is very relevant to Safecoin’s future.

Data from the National Council of Justice (Brazil) are leaked; users, passwords and more

"In the document, the Al1ne hacker left a message in the Indonesian language, which translates: "A child born today will grow up without a conception of privacy. They will never know what it means to have a certain moment for themselves thoughts that are not recorded and not analyzed. And that’s a problem because privacy is important; privacy is what is possible we must determine who we are and who we want to be. "

It will run on a radical, novel type of blockchain, one that is a double helix. Truly, the time is ripe for another tulip bubble.
