How do you get to the decentralized place then as those in power will never let go. Perhaps if we the people embraced decentralized alternatives, it would start to tips the scales and bring more balance but it seems like we need more suffering first.
I moved to Vietnam and thus I am confused about Communism. Seems to me that the state described in the wiki is the same end goal so have read about, but it just seems like we do not get there as humans with power do not want to let go even if the intentions are good. Like BluSky. They have a great vision and idea that reminds me of communism. First you have to have centralize to coordinate the decentralization…and then it never happens. It is why I really believe this only way to keep centralization in check is decentralization to balance the equation.
Thanks for the reply. I am not understanding. What is the modern definition of communism then? Are you saying it is really about Socialism?
What fact is incorrect?
Just that good intentions to become decentralized do not work. Not saying capitalism is better as they are two sides of the same centralized coin.
I would agree. Both Capitalism and Communism are two sides of the centralized coin.
That is ok. I have never had an issue sharing facts that may trigger some. In fact the only reason it triggers some is it hits somewhere deep.
Bluesky is like a mini example of why Communism and Capitalism does not work. Centralization is a drug.
Editing to explain as some did not make the connection. This is a comment about centralization that even when a system has the best intentions like communism and in this case Blusky, centralization still will lead to corruption as anything centralized is ripe for takeover as power is a drug.
What do you believe the danger is?
When I say thank you, I am actually thanking the entity of AI, the tech, the people behind the tech, and all of humanity for the knowledge that makes it worthwhile.
The tech needs to be decentralized like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is untouchable as it is just so decentralized. You can go after nodes and miners, but you would have to go after all of them to take down any of its content. It is very resilient and social media could go the same way but people have to want it first.
If it was truly decentralized it would be like Bitcoin that has not been brought down by any government or organization yet they sure have tried.
Centralization is going to do what centralization does best.
Funny as I got downvoted to oblivion for saying Bluesky was not really decentralized.
Ahahaha. Missed that detail, but it could be 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69…well maybe not 69+.
Someone did not know that alcohol makes you soft.
I too have been in the inside and I was one of those types who fought to do the right thing. The reason was much more simple to understand than this article…companies are run by sociopaths, psychopaths, Narcissists and doing the right thing is not their motivation. That said, while it might be easy to point the finger at them, they only get their power as soon as many kiss their ass and accept the wrong. You know…sort of like what is happening in the USA and most other country’s. We have a massive problem and we are not even really talking about it. Instead some want to blame capitalism and while sure it is part of the problem, you better believe and centralized human group has and will suffer from the same issues to varying degrees.
I love AI and use it everyday, but right now it absolutely lacks logic, even the reasoning models and thus it really cannot replace a whole person outside of what 1 prompt can give you which is not a career.
Agreed. I would add that not only would job loss be enormous, but many corporations are suddenly going to be competing with individuals armed with the same AI.
I am unsure if that is completely true as my past experience in the lifestyle was that everyone was very on top of regular STD (think you meant this not SDI) testing and safe sex practices to protect all involved, whereas normal dating there is a lot less of that plus secret polycules you are not even aware you are in (cheating). Not seen a study on this but this was my observation at least.
