Shameful copaganda from a16z. I can see some optimism for crypto but cop tech is just sad to see. The material effect of this is dramatically extending cop surveillance capability, regardless of the intent. That’s not a non-controversial thing to post neutrally and expect to be celebrated without criticism. Less polite society has a word that describes that called bootlicking. The “let’s be practical here” attitude of “well we just gotta give the cops more to see them do better” is an endless cycle. Note that davidu is in his bio anti-anarchist (libertarian), meaning he fights the enemies of the law and the state and the enemies of capital. Common enough around here but want to point out he proclaims a mission of supporting the state and law enforcement. lol. Just want to give Disclaimer to the political mission.
