I'm in one of my states of mind where's it hard to direct my behavior again! I'm possibly considering it could relate to my attempt to form decisions about what I do that includes my judgement. Anyway! coding-error-messages is often what my life is like. Maybe I'll make some more, but keep it to a thread.

On War Fwd: [cryptome] Putin won!!!

It's unique how, with the advent of military cultural influence, common people are getting involved in distant international wars, on a relatively global scale. This is an avenue to take down governments en masse, because everybody knows that war is stupid: and now we can see that it's happening. There's a secret about war: you retain more resources if you don't blow them up on somebody else. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: perceptive718(a)gmail.com Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2022 01:49:23 -0400 Subject: [cryptome] Putin won!!!

Before the list becomes a monotonous stream of coding-error-messages. https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-to-make-the-universe-think-for-us-202205… Following any successful anarchist revolution cypherpunks WON'T write code. Let the machines do it. Amirite? I can't believe the elementary shit I have to send in here these days. Did IQ's drop while I was away!?

[spam][draft] Why Write Code?
by Karl Semich 04 Jun '22

04 Jun '22

Introduction A longstanding disparity on the cypherpunks list, and in historical computer use in general, is the schism between people who joined without experiencing authoring software, and people who are familiar with authoring software to solve problems. Personally, as somebody who used to write software to solve my problems, the schism has been difficult to navigate. The skills needed to have status in an online developer community take a lifetime to master. The people with skills abstained from social involvement, from going outdoors, from parties, from movies, in order to spend their time learning how to direct computers. However, in modern days, the technology is developing such that anybody can do the kinds of things that it used to be only "elite cypherpunks" could do. AI can now write code for you: although somebody needs to write the code to let you do that, the entry barrier is much lower. And, so long as there is such freedom on the planet, it will keep lowering. I've observed people new to software development don't really understand that a computer can do absolutely anything. They seem to think the limits of computers are somehow bound to what people have told them. I thought I'd write something about that. Code Is Free Action When you get a device, or play a game, or a company markets a product, [apologies, this diatribe is inhibited by my personal issues. I _tried_ to make it cohesive! I needed to make the intro shorter, rather than planning to shorten it later.]
