Its amusing to see, but also pretty tragic, iirc ive read of ai deleting anything related to hitler, and the ai that became homophobic and very twisted after interacting with humans that was quickly taken offline.
One can only hope they dont use fb fact checkers as a source of whats information and whats misinformation.
Perspective makes all the difference, information to one is misinformation to another…

I expect MaidSafe are already all over these but they’re new to me and could be very useful for debugging nodes etc.

Jim Watkins (Ron’s father) who created 8chan should also be considered a part of it too. IMO, he’s CIA, although I have no proof, his background fits the CIA’s recruiting profile and his defunct Nevada business NT Tech. seems to still have access to wide swaths of Internet IP’s - even though they should have been revoked long ago, they haven’t been (political influence methinks).

It’s a conspiracy, I tell ya.

…life may have been seeded here on Earth by life-bearing comets as soon as conditions on Earth allowed it to flourish

One is thus forced in our view to conclude that the entire galaxy (and perhaps our local group of galaxies) constitutes a single connected biosphere.

Exciting news for future comet explorers:

Many species of fermenting bacteria can also produce ethanol from sugars, so the recent discovery that Comet Lovejoy emits ethyl alcohol amounting to 500 bottles of wine per second may well be an indication that such a microbial process is operating

I’ve often thought this was a more plausible explanation than that life always starts by chance and evolves in isolation. I’ve never tried to explore the maths and scales of operation, but it’s the way life works on earth’s, smaller scales of time and space so seems sensible it would apply at larger scales. We already see this in other areas (eg atom, solar system, galaxy, galaxy clusters).

Anyway here’s a paper looking at the evidence and an off-topic place for those interested:

As long as we’ve been using the internet, and way before that, we have been authenticating through some sort of username and password combination. It has become the standard. With the ever-increasing number of web-apps, we’re seeing more and more data breaches as well. What if we could build our authentication processes in a way the user doesn’t need a password?

In this talk, I will give a quick overview of the past, present, and future of authentication. From basic authentication to passwordless biometric authentication using the web authentication API, and everything in between. The audience does not need any specific knowledge as this talk will not go into implementation details but aims to give a view of what’s to come in terms of authentication.

Why? Authentication is one of the fundamentals of modern applications. We still rely on a system of passwords which has been used since the Roman empire. If we could eliminate the weakest part of the authentication process, the password, we might be able to make it more secure.

Trudeau giving Crypto a boost by changing mind of skeptics.

I still can’t believe that this is the protest that would prove every Bitcoin crank a prophet. And for me to have to slice a piece of humble pie, and admit that I was wrong on crypto’s fundamental necessity in Western democracies.

But wherever this leads us next, it’s clear to me now that I was too hasty to completely dismiss crypto on the basis of all the things wrong with it at the moment. Instead of appreciating the fundamental freedom to transact that it’s currently our best shot at protecting.
