He did this last time too.
I often wonder if Hideo Kojima is actually a time traveller as it feels like we are living through the MGS series. With AI and government propaganda and control measures it feels like we are at the MGS2 phase
The Verge is an absolute pile of flaming dog shit, but a broken clock is right twice a day.
It feels like the world is collapsing around me.
Oh, don’t you worry. It only feels like that because it absolutely definitely is collapsing around you. 😊
Dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.
Wherever books are burned, men also, in the end, are burned.
-Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
“‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’”
George Orwell, 1984.
I’m of an opinion that this is why AI is all the hype now. Ability to generate plausibly-looking image of anything. Making everyone a schizophrenic, basically, because nothing can be trusted.
A footage is made of A country militia massacring a town belonging to a minority - oops, there’s a similar footage of that minority’s guerillas doing the same. You can’t decide what’s true and what’s not by just looking at it.
Except the way we observe the universe, looking at the same object different ways, via gravitational lenses and different frequencies and differentiated over time by parallax, angular size and what not.
(I’m not an astrophysicist, not even interested enough to assemble some willpower to get my knowledge right.)
That’s why there should be only one Web, no other hypertext systems, one very complex and potent set of standards, one ecosystem of computing, one paradigm of software distribution, one chain of production of these complex systems. This doesn’t mean no competition inside those paradigms, it’s fine. But none outside.
You should look at the reality only via the same channel, same in the sense of being augmented similarly in all dimensions.
Now, my conclusion of this is that such a system will eventually lead to an escape from one big trap the humanity has been building up for itself since around 1990. There are things people learn and things people don’t learn. Not trusting such a media environment is something they do learn. Even a freer and more enlightened society can emerge from that - once again.
Has Wikipedia made it to the outside?
Data already has been disappearing long before Trump. If we want to prevent this then we need to look for the root cause, which isn’t Trump.
This is called normalization.
Absolutely not. I have been voicing to people to care about this stuff for a number of years. I want people to understand that the majority of politicians are not on the people’s side. They are sold out/corrupt and do things that benefit the elite. The bipartisian-ship of society is holding back America from becoming a nation that looks after it’s people.
I’m sorry, I did not phrase that right. What you are describing is normalization and it’s very very difficult to fight it. I did not mean to say specifically that you are normalizing it.
“People have died long before Jack the Ripper. If we want to prevent death, you need for the root cause, which isn’t Jack”
We’re not trying to solve every case of data disappearing, but the large influx that has appeared as a direct result of Trump’s orders.
In case it’s not obvious, the root cause of that is Trump.
Then we have different goals
Yeah, yours is hypothetical. Good luck solving entropy.
He may not be the inventor of evil, but he surely accelerates it.
