Last I checked public parks by default allow anonymity and the exchange of encrypted messages in public. Further, allowing anonymity & strong encryption on amateur radio is possible. If you're claiming there's a difference som

Then I assume you're against any tech that would allow brains to be digitized, right?

Is OpenAI willing to support true AI having basic rights to given to humans? If so, why is this not one of the fundamental technical goals? If not, why?

I personally love feeling crushed by the vast surges of information that surround me, being able to let go of the need to understand it all, or to ride my hunger for information right down to the very moment before it consumes me. Basic ph

My expectation of any communication channel is that it allows true anonymity & strong encryption.

Not sure it's that, but that the founders had a bit of luck, and to believe any future efforts would not require luck would be foolish in my opinion.

>> "we're not sufficiently civilized to make it reality." To me, the opposite is true, society has become too civilized. True change would require risks that the majority of Internet users would see as too risky, unnece

Right, hacker might even target a website that's known to be visited by the targets, hack it, use it for drive by downloads attacks - and use the contest win a backdoored device (laptop,iPad,drive,etc) to cherry pick any targets that h
