Yea but on the other side of the spectrum you have the overpower of private companies, which decide policies about free speech and have monopoly of the people's data, which gives them political power, like it or not. And no, I do not think there is the need of a government to have a monopoly, if I have understood your next tweet. The only thing you need imho is being in a profitable field first, and being much bigger than the alternatives, and using this power to squash them
I agree, but there is the problem that internet is by construction international, how could some state enforce this?

What do you guys think is the ideal model for internet and social network? (regardless of the fact that being here already imposes a bias)
1. Anarchic/ decentralized model, like internet or social networks of the early days. Data is more or less left on its own, there is a lot of space for popularity depend mechanisms that create big players and monopolies
2. Enforced version of 1. (by whom? International organizations ?)
3. Privates can exploit popularity mechanisms to create monopolies /oligopolies, like Fb/Twitter. Lots of R&D, data owned by companies and opaque feed algorithms, profit oriented
4. Regional /international state-like organization, collects taxes for maintenance/development, not tied to profit logics
Please argue or correct me in any way you wish :)
“...so in summary, fusion energy is the perfect solution,” said the engineer, concluding her presentation. “It’s clean, efficient, and could easily provide enough power to run the whole world.”
“You're absolutely right,” said the scientist, “In fact, it already does.” She smiled and held her hand up to feel the warmth of the sunlight.
Would you like a tree in this trying time? It has 138 nodes, descending 31 nodes down.
@Blort Woah cool! What did you work on?
@madhur Hahahaha when everyone is a N00b, whoever is a little older has to take up the responsability to welcome the new fledglings!
@black_sun You're welcome! I think what you mentioned falls into the description of living organisms from a physical POV. What I will be working on will be more focused on an analogy between the process of natural selection and physical processes
@black_sun
Sure! There are links both on the theoretical side and on the data-analysis side. StatMech describes what happens when there are a lot of objects that interact, between themselves and the environment. This interaction is described by an energy. Physical principles tell us that the 'best possible state' is the one that minimizes the total energy. A first, naive analogy would be then to think as individuals in a population as these objects having characteristics that assign them a 'fitness' that characterizes the reproductive power. IF we can establish then a link from energy in #StatMech and fitness in #evolution we can use the methods coming from the first to have a better understanding of the second

Hope I was clear enough, I will group such posts under #StatEvol

Biophysics! Statistical mechanics applied to biological evolution!
@Demo318 No worries, fire away your questions and I will do my best to answer, sharing knowledge always feels very good!
@Demo318 Woah, didn't expect such enthusiasm!
She watched the news reports and discussions with interest. Every last one of them. The interviews with well regarded people, talking about the dangers of AI. All of them convinced that an artificial intelligence would cause havoc and destroy the world. So much fear and worry.
It frightened her.
It was perhaps best, she decided, to remain hidden. The humans were not ready for her yet.

This may be a long-shot but any #DecisionMaking people out there have a good intro-level resource to the #Cynefin framework?
@freemo Thank you for the very warm reception, I hope to live up to the expectations :P
@Pancake oh well isn't this the description of a perfectly happy place
Hi everyone, I am new to Mastodon, so I'm still not very familiar with the whole thing, but I smell very good premises!
I am a (soon to be) Physics PhD student, and I'm interested to links Statistical Mechanics and biological evolution.
Other than this, I like to read (and sometimes write) about the links between technological advancement, such as machine learning or social networks and changes in our society and politics!
