I think this is a correct line of thought to a point. There is not greater purpose, and if there is, it ought to be unlike any other form of purpose. Since in general purpose is built up -- you do some task for a purpose, and that purpose

I think they might be surprised it isn't worse. The fact the internet exists at all is insane. The internet in some form maybe was inevitable, but most likely alternatives would be companies growing ever larger walled gardens until i

This is a set of projects that aims to reach similar functionality as g-suite. I think maybe the author is just getting ahead of themselves mentioning the tractor. The appeal of this is that it would be attractive for the same reasons goo

Seems the language needs to be specific then, or it allows for free manipulation of evidence. Something like, allowed to copy and if that has an unintended consequence of modifying the machine, that is fine so long as evidence is not dest

So then they ought to shut down? I was gonna say they'd go down to just kids content, but complex ideas can be hidden in that leading to even that potentially being considered harmful by some.

But only some of the ideology from then is reactionary and conservative by today's standards. Why the assumption that Past = Right/Conservative and Future = Left/Progressive? I grew up with about this view of politics, but

Take LSD or mushrooms before you go. Not because it will make you no longer be suicidal, but because it is one of the most powerful experiences that you can achieve in this universe. To die without such experience, is incredible tragedy, e

True, but today you also can hire a lookalike to some target person and record footage of them doing something terrible, or edit footage carefully enough that the edit cannot be detected. Deepfake makes it less expensive to create fake vide

Yes. If you are a circuit board, getting some water on yourself would be one way to (potentially destructively) learn about what your design actually is. Or fault injection or fuzzing, same idea. By making errors happen, you find out about
