EFC is also gasbagging about " getting people on safe and secure services ". Like one of Julio's bitch punks. Or Lord Snowball. Jake Applebum. EFC; to think of yourself as being a safety and security activist means to think of yourself as being somehow enlightened, privileged or more advanced than others in your appreciation of the need for security and safety change, in the knowledge of how to achieve it and as leading or being in the forefront of the practical struggle to create this change. Give it up faggot. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/andrew-x-give-up-activism Reposts not advertisements for funeral-home-services like Whispering Glades

>> I think binary thinking is detrimental to getting people on safe and secure services.<<< EFC opposition to binary opposites, like literal/metaphorical, serious/playful, deep/superficial, nature/culture, ad infinitum. EFC sees these as basic conceptual hierarchies, mainly smuggled in by language itself, which provide the illusion of definition or orientation. He further claims that the deconstructive work of overturning these pairings, which valorize one of the two over the other, leads to a political and social overturning of actual, non-conceptual hierarchies. But to automatically refuse all binary oppositions is itself a metaphysical proposition; it in fact bypasses politics and history out of a failure to see in opposites, however imprecise they may be, anything but a linguistic reality. In the dismantling of every binarism, EFC's construction aims at “conceiving difference without opposition.” What in a smaller dosage would seem a salutary approach, a skepticism about neat, either/or characterizations, proceeds to the very questionable prescription of refusing all unambiguity. To say that there can be no yes or no position is tantamount to a paralysis of relativism, in which ‘impotence’ becomes the valorized partner to ‘opposition’.

The bigger alignment picture

Aligning humans with their strong AI creations we do straight away - aligning cryptoanarchism on earth with universal quantum PKI takes a little longer. From Charles Rhodes a decade or two back through proposed Cosmic RNG's to this https://physicsworld.com/a/cosmic-ray-muons-used-to-create-cryptography-sys… Synchronizing ansible devices further and further out looks like the perfect excuse for inevitable trespass. " Don't mind us. We are merely conducting tests on ubiquitous non-locality. Shan't be long "

A prediction market on a person is also an assassination market on that person. >>> sarahemclaugh Apr 3 AI image generator Midjourney lets users make satirical images of Biden, Putin, and other leaders. But not Xi Jinping. Midjourney’s CEO says “political satire in china is pretty not-okay” so he’s applying China’s speech rules globally to all users. https://techdirt.com/2023/03/31/midjourney-ceo-says-political-satire-in-chi… Show this thread <<<

Some members of the privacy community, including Snowden, criticize Signal’s requirement that each user sign up with a phone number; others object to Signal’s default setting that alerts users every time a contact joins the service. And, although all of Signal’s source code is open-source and peer-reviewed, most users cannot be certain whether it is identical to the code deployed in the apps they download, or to the code that is actually running on Signal’s servers. Others argue that Signal should be federated, or decentralized: rather than trusting a single organization to remain stable, invulnerable, uncompromised, and oriented toward their needs, participants should be able to run their own servers. https://archive.vn/nARhl#selection-2239.0-2241.460 Signal Fails, an anonymous zine recently published on several anarchist Web sites, warns against dependency on a centralized service, particularly one running on mobile devices. “If your device is compromised with a keylogger or other malicious software, it doesn’t really matter how secure your communications are,” the zine reads. Were anarchists to “pose a major threat to the established order,” the government would “come for us and our infrastructure without mercy.”

[crazy][spam] ChatGPT Addictions As An Early Political AI Zombie from 2013
by professor rat 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

Anyone here whose regularly concerned about corporate malfeasance over, say, Theocratic &/or nationalist misdeeds is prioritizing capitalism as the main enemy. Marxist- communists do this all the time and we have had at least two of them here in the past - James A. Donald and John Young. Though getting on, Tariq Ali and John Pilger are both Marxists and both long associated with c-punk turned professional journalist, Julian Assmange. Btw Julian chanced his arm at political office in 2013. JULIAN " Being guilty of aggravated rape has nothing to do with our party" A. Broinowski. Wikileaks Party NSW candidate for au Senate. 2013. "... Mr Assange agreed that some level of privacy was necessary for the successful operation of the military ..." http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/drive/assange-i-can-rule-from-… JULIAN " ‘[The military] protects the sovereignty of Australia. It protects the independence of Australia.' ASSANGE July, 2013 So it appears 2013 was a stellar year for political zombies and Julian is addicted to celebrity. So much the better for our cypherpunk revolution. We may cut out and remove all dead-wood.

Or at least indicted >>> iheartmindy · 3h Cashapp founder Bob Lee was found randomly stabbed to death in San Francisco.

MobileCoin to Signal - the abyss calling the abyss

Adding MobileCoin to Signal really changed my perceptions about just how principled the Signal foundation really is. https://securityboulevard.com/2022/01/shame-on-you-moxie-marlinspike-fake-c… MobCon looks like a " Whats App " play - build an addictive ( Phone money! ) app then sell it for x billions to some Thiel-type racket.
