Signs of misinformation and discord: - Attack the person not the argument (Ad-Hominem attacks) - False dilemmas, a limited number of choices are presented as mutually exclusive, when in reality more options are available - Incoherence - Use of emotional language inoculation.science/inoculation-...

The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa, translated by Margaret Jull Costa. Published by the Half Pint Press, London, 2017. There were only 50 copies of this made for sale (out of a total run of 80), so I thought I’d share as much of it as I can. Numbering of fragments follows the 1982 edition.

Cardboard box letterpressed with the title and authorBack of box stating 80 copies were made of which 50 were available to buy. This is copy number 37.The box opened. Inside are objects and documents and scraps of things, the ephemera of a life, each printed with one of the fragments of text that make up The Book of Disquiet.

“This is censorship...This is a demonstration that some of the worst abuses in our time are not confined to kings, emperors, governments … but to a class of companies that have assumed the sovereign affect, and seek to assert their power the same way that some of those despotic nation states do.”

Today I ‘interviewed’ Facebook whistleblower on stage at Hay…& she couldn’t say a word. Facebook took legal action to prevent her speaking. What pathetic, pointless vindictiveness. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Scientists have discovered a tiny blue octopus lurking beneath the waters near the Galápagos Islands. About the size of a golf ball, the newly identified deep-sea species was found nearly 1,800 meters below the surface during an expedition in the Pacific Ocean.

Altman’s statement about treating intelligence as a utility is another insight into the dystopian world tech billionaires are trying to build. It’s one with their power is enhanced as the rest of our realities is degraded and enclosed. They must be stopped. disconnect.blog/make-em-dumb...

Sam Altman proposing to literally meter intelligence is just the most egregious proposal of such an anti-human industry. But he is not the only one with a desire to create a world where buying a tech product is a requirement to be fully engaged in society. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to build a society where anyone not wearing his AI-enabled smart glasses is at a disadvantage. In some ways, tech billionaires have already pushed us in that direction. It’s become hard to get by in modern society without a smartphone. Altman’s slip of the tongue at the Infrastructure Summit give us a bit more insight into how these tech billionaires see the world, and how little humanity features in their visions of the future. They will degrade every aspect of society if they feel it will get them one step closer to the realization of intelligent machines and their science fiction dreams. But every time they reveal more of that vision, they further demonstrate why everyone else must work together to stop them.

GrapheneOS is a production quality OS with a team of 10 full-time developers. It isn't a hobby project made by people in their free time. We're a far more efficient organization than Google. We have a fully remote team and coordinate the project via internal chat rooms without layers of bureaucracy.
