The #luddites are back. Yesterday in #qualityland as fiction, today as critical thinkers of the technofuturistic mind.
There is a *Local First* movement I did not hear about until now:
"The local-first movement wants to bring the data back to the user while retaining the advantages of the internet."
Finally βJulian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK,β WikiLeaks said

"Iβm no longer interested in encouraging the design of more human-centered versions of these murderous technologies, or to inform the more humane administration of complex algorithmic systems [...] I think we must forcefully put on the table the possibility that we will destroy systems that fail to make a compelling affirmative case for their existence. That threat must be credible. We should actively undermine and sabotage systems, and recognize that labor as a moral project that we engage in, the way luddites sabotaged machinery that tore people apart."
I think it's very encouraging to also see academics to start joining camp hashtag#luddite. For a long time even critical academic voices were too focused on salvaging the hashtag#AI space. To "get rid of the bad actors" or "introduce ethics" instead of allowing themselves to just say: "NO." And we need to start saying "NO" a _lot_ more.

"You understand code a lot better if you write it than if you read it."
"But if an AI takes away the writing of a code, .... people will understand it much moor poorly".
"Axiomatically a bad thing."

Finally reached a state where soldering and coding is done. #dragonstuff can come π
What's the solution to that? One that comes to my mind is having something like "I am not a bot" or "I am older than 13" but....
# "I can solve this math exam for 13 year olds to get to that website"
That would be an awesome porn blocker :D
