  • So make a place a global trade hub in theory can be as simple as saying it is so and watching every country trade there, only in one’s imagination.

    So now the region is going to be made into a great Singapore for the Mediterranean using billions of dollars of tax money from nations including Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, etc?

    That’s not a global trade hub. That’s a globally subsidized tax haven. Whose long-term stability Congress from the whim of nations like the USA, China, Russia, the EU, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc…

    With that, it would be infinitely easier and more attractive for any nearby nation to create a special economic area to handle regional trade & take the jobs, and the best part? This would be funded by the respective nation itself.



  • So you’re a power user? Case in point, you’d be better for Fedora.

    Also my second distro was mint, after 3+ years of the old hdd’s non-use, I pulled it out last year when my install of some OS broke, updated it to zero issues (I was curious), used the software for a bit, all was good.

    3 years without an update to zero issues.

    Haven’t seen any issue with Mint updates yet like I’ve fought in Fedora










  • Everyone has different experiences, interests, & focuses in life which determine what they prioritize.

    Communities survive & die due to shared desires, understandings, & experiences after all, no matter how quaint or in someone’s eyes, misinformed it may be.

    Regardless, I think the AI singularity thing is just the old mindset of we have a problem today, let’s make up a solution because it’s more comfortable to do that than accept the powerlessness of no answer.


  • I don’t see consciousness as some special mental faut or whatever.

    In my mind it’s a social mechanism meant to allow a more nuanced, complex and deliberate reaction to the world around it and it’s community versus a creature purely with instinct.

    In my eyes then, we will know that an AI is conscious if overtime it varies it’s actions and reactions based in a way that it assumes will help guarantees its existence and future usefulness versus it’s prompt varying because that’s how X spoke to it 1 million times.




  • 🙄 Im just gonna say it here:

    Crypto has been dead, dying, scam, grift, rugpull, etc. for 15 years now.

    And the market is still there & growing again, to die again, to grow again, to die again, rinse & repeat.

    Like the fossil fuel industry & nuclear weapons, it will not disappear until something better replaces what it can do to the point its obsolete. .

    Clearly, to those who keep industry value over 500 billion dollars (oh, it’s over 1 trillion again 🤷🏿‍♂️), that replacement does not exist yet.

    You can cry, you can call politicians, you can bomb blockchain companies, you can scream at every bitcoin logo ever, it’s clearly here to stay.

    Deal with it. 🤷🏿‍♂️


  • Stuff like this could be added to misskey, Firefish, or whatever other fediverse platforms there are. No need to implement it on Mastodon & piss off the entrenched community that wants no algorithm.

    As for the algorithm, im imagining a few dedicated relay servers to sift through mastodon server data using a dedicated llm (thinking like llama or hugging face? I don’t know much about the technicals) to sift through and rate posts by engagement, word choice (evil, demonic, eugenics, crypto, etc) and rate each post topic collectively based on how virtiolic, how much engagement, how many posts, how similar to other posts (for spam), & the topic category & subcategory based off the respective language.

    Users who activate the feature would have likes, saves, & etc stored on the client & a hash sent or something with the potential profile focus of the person.

    The server weighing the details will prefer to return less seen & posted content very specifically tailored & occasionally more notable & engaged posts that are more general & less charged.

    I think the general idea is interesting, & I would try to build it myself (for those who say stop whining & make it yourself), but im here grinding through kaggle learning & udemy so it’d be a while lol
