@carnage4life It doesn't matter. It is technically unfeasible to merge 2b-user network into 10m-user network without melting their servers.

@nazgul @yassie_j @grrrr_shark Fully integrates as in "a few billions of facebook users can report stuff on Fediverse"? I somehow doubt this is viable.

Of course one can do one-way integration instead of being "fully" integrated. But then there would be zombie army of spam instances manipulating FB feeds from outside.

The setup just can't work however you'd put it.

@wilfredh Yeah... But the security story here is not good, to put it mildly.

And that's only the passive summarization task. But some people are already wanting their digital twins to perform stuff in public :blobcatfearful:

@reidrac@social.sdf.org depends on who's your target audience. Are they DOS box users, or are they dosbox users? :ablobthinking:

I've read multiple times that Reddit 1.0 was written in Lisp. I didn't realize the source is public.

It's amazing. You can read the whole thing in one sitting. Even an undergrad could. It's like the essence of a…Reddit.

We took a wrong turn w/ software.

@reidrac@social.sdf.org "or" meaning "lightweight" nodes, like mobile/low power devices which come and go, and switch networks on a whim. The alternative is running something like a TOR relay or a torrent seedbox - always-ish connected, perhaps to unknown parties.

@reidrac@social.sdf.org The core idea is that you either connect to a storage swarm (Torrent-style) or to your friend store-and-forward nodes. This way you can have both anonymity and offline messaging.

@reidrac@social.sdf.org ticks many of the right boxes, but its tied with cold fusion with whoever comes first :blobsad:

Regulation is futile.

@carnage4life "Skynet becoming self aware and dropping nukes" here is a dog whistle at best. Given your previous posts presenting x-risk mitigation as regulatory capture you seem to be quite dismissive of it.

And, again, it's okay to be near-term focused. There are real people suffering right now. I'm glad someone is working on it.
What I don't get is all the flak people get for their work on anything else besides that.
It's not like they're endangering your efforts or taking away resources from your cause, are they?

@carnage4life why not both? Both are good causes. It's okay to see only immediate picture. It's not okay to dunk on people which position you don't understand.

@daylightatheism @cstross @alexshendi @Eka_FOOF_A @ct_bergstrom Are you sure you aren't misrepresenting their point?

Bostrom refers to Pascal's Mugging[1], not the original "wager" formulation.

Anyway, the point is to **avoid** racing to unbounded rewards, disregarding any current costs.

That resolves Roko's too, and it was resolved for almost a decade now.
