    Maybe we could use AI to generate new and original content?

    Since that might produce too much content for anybody to read, upvote and engage with, we could cover the user side with AI bots as well.

    If we do this right we could completely automate social media. Maybe one day you won’t even have to look at your phone because an army of bots is doing it for you.











  • https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/what_is_the_gnu_hurd.html

    The Hurd is the GNU project’s replacement for UNIX, a popular operating system kernel.

    The Hurd is firstly a collection of protocols formalizing how different components may interact. The protocols are designed to reduce the mutual trust requirements of the actors thereby permitting a more extensible system. These include interface definitions to manipulate files and directories and to resolve path names. This allows any process to implement a file system. The only requirement is that it have access to its backing store and that the principal that started it own the file system node to which it connects.

    The Hurd is also a set of servers that implement these protocols. They include file systems, network protocols and authentication. The servers run on top of the Mach microkernel and use Mach’s IPC mechanism to transfer information.

    The Hurd provides a compatibility layer such that compiling higher level programs is essentially transparent; that is, by means of the glibc, it provides the same standard interfaces known from other UNIX-like systems. Thus, for a typical user, the Hurd is intended to silently work in the background providing the services and infrastructure which the microkernel itself has no business implementing, but that are required for higher level programs and libraries to operate.






  • bound by their social constructs

    let me pre-empt with a disclaimer: I understand the argument you are making, as saying that in the wilderness you are free to do as you please without any limitations to what actions or inactions to take. While in society your freedom is curtailed by having to consider others.

    I would like to attempt to refute the underlying argument as I understood it here.

    The willdernes puts very harsh restrictions on a man. You are liable to be toren apart by wolfs, starving after injuring yourself and falling ill due to contminated food or water. There are many more Harshnesses met out by the wilderness but I stop here.

    Society can of course impose all sorts of arbitrary rules and laws, however the original discourse treated the state of freedom not the state of living in a non-free society. In a free society the limitations put on you are just based upon the freedom of others. For example i can not steel from you your dinner. I would not describe that as an impediment to my freedom, not being allowed to murder, loot and pillage is not a limitation to my freedom. As a free man I would not want to commit these crimes even without society enforcing this. If i met you in the wilderness I would not want to violate you.

    Instead think of a society of people who value their freedom, who are free from anything that is not necessitated by the protection of freedom of others. in such society communing with other free individuals would be voluntarily and not by force. What i mean by that is that it would be based on a mutual interest. among free men freedom increases by forming a community. For example colaborating with others allows me to be achieve feats that are larger than the sum of the capabilities of the individual. A wolf alone can do much less per capita than a pack of wolves can do.

    ** my bad i just noticed this would take a lot longer to type out the rest so i cede the point cause i cant be arsed to continue typing. I am gonna watch some GOT instead.**
