OpenAI’s o1 Pro is $200 a month. Yet Sam talks about equality and UBI to balance the effects of AI on society. He’d best drop the BS about equality and UBI making it better. They’ve just excluded 99.8% of humanity from o1 Pro access. We need open source models to compete with this bs and truly balance things.

Like house owners renting. Raise rent when pensions rise, or unemployment benefits rise.
He is pricing it the same, people get income from UBI and he takes it from them.

Europol added in a statement: “The Matrix protocol (matrix.org) is by no means connected to the Matrix secured communication service that was targeted.”
That was a bit of a faux pas I wonder

ShapeShiftCiphers will stop all that intrusion by the state…, its coming fast…it will put the govt types out of the business of confiscation fast. Expect https://www.shapeshiftciphers.com/ to start to show up next year, as the current crop of NIST alternative since four of their nine on the short list have already been ‘hacked’ (aka as master key give aways to NSA).
Otherwise Autonomi is the way to go for p2p.

The Edge of the World is a film by Michael Powell (more on him shortly) about the ‘death’ of a Scottish island community on Hirta, the largest island in the St Kilda archipelago. None of which I knew anything significant about until I watched this and a follow up film.
The Edge of the World is interesting, not particularly entertaining today (it was made in 1937 about events in 1930), but worth a watch especially if you know some of the actors, such as John Laurie.
The Return to the Edge of the World is a short docu-poem film also by Michael Powell, who took some of the original cast back to the island of Foula 42 years after the first film was made, which featured every single resident of the island at the time.
Once you have watched the first film, the second much shorter film becomes a real gem. I’ll say no more about that, but together and with a visit to the Wikipedia page about St Kilda they are a real treat. Ok, my opinion, and I am a bit weird in my tastes but why not have a watch if you have access to BBC iPlayer, as both are free to view for now:
If you have access to iPlayer you may notice that there are quite a few films there from Michael Powell (most with his collaborator Emric Pressburger). These are all made even more interesting if you first watch Martin Scorsese’s documentary about them, where he explains why as a boy watching films on US TV, they inspired him and influenced his films in important ways. He also describes how this lead him to seek out Michael Powell who was down on his luck, which was a touching story in itself. Also on iPlayer:

I believe one of the reason is this project even if that leeching copy project probably is dead by now. https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/safecoin There are topics about that project from years back, they managed to apply for trademark around when the safenetwork name was choosen. And by checking Safecoin it seems they are dead now, which makes me happy, they caused some limited damage by people mixing up their project to the former Safenet. I hope the founder choked on his whiskey but they are out of worry so no need to ever again spend any brain resources on them.

It’s a great idea for a small number of batteries, but not sure how you’d easily mass produce large quantities of C14. So I expect this will be an expensive and so niche item.
I dont have access to iPlayer - I refuse to pay the English propaganda tax aka TV license.
Dunno if it is mentioned but a very major part of the reason for the general ill-health of the islanders was their enslavement to the religion and the “It’s God’s Will” crap beloved of Wee Frees and Moslems and the resident doctor/minister knowing eff-all about basic hygiene. Hence the horrendous child mortality rate. But he was the minister so how could he be wrong?
Also Hirta (St Kilda) and Foula are two very seperate islands - and cultures. THey are >250 miles apart.
My grandparents were friends with folk from St Kilda and I was told I met them on several occaisions but I would have been only 5 or 6 so I cant mind anything other than the stories passed on to me.
We were promised jet-packs.
Well they are here now - kinda.
Boomers gonna go bonkers…
