"So we have this new material in our hands." No. It's in the hands of few corporations who we repeatedly beg.

And what is the mechanism by which society could stop such AI damage and push for punishment as per law, not per subjective usefulness? Voting every 4 years to a president that never fulfills his promises?

No, society does not want corporations with no responsibilities.

At the point it gets solid and useful, the powers that be will immediately use them as weapon.

It has already been so with ppq.ai (pay per query dot AI)

Thank you. I heard the number locally at a privacy conference. No hard data, but I saw them being terrified for 1984 becoming a reality. Even if there's no sentence, the real result is self-censorship, which is NOT shown up in ANY statistics.

It is happening, in spite many won't really deeply believe. Every day 33 brits are arrested for what they say online.

It's happening, and it's time we say no. It's uncomfortable, but we need to do it en masse, right now.

Do not buy backdoored hardware, help others get rid of the backdoors, use anonymous technology to organize protests.

There has to be a line.

There IS an optional list for ublock origin that tries to get rid of cookie nonsense.

It started a line of thoughts in me. What if the backend keeps the videos around for a longer period of time, and: * regularly checks youtube, and whenever one archived video gets deleted from youtube, it advertises the video ID on a specific set of Nostr relays * have a different browser extension for yt viewers that activates when the user hits a deleted video. * the backend can stream the video for continuous Bitcoin lightning payment until the stream is kept alive.

So you can make some money on free disk space.

Just like the cambridge link he shared: it is a well written article with tons of references describing the source of the information.

You must abolish all privacy from the internet, and even then, you wouldn't be able to stop CP to happen.

Good luck, Mr. Big Brother!

I think such an appliance had already been invented. They are called "trees".

All they need to do their work is corporations leaving them alone.
