Thank you! npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson "you can't get fooled again." npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson Let's rename them to "freedom films." npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson I'm a little behind on reading @npub153l…caex and I just bumped into this remarkable prose. npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson It was done by a group in protest of Tesla. npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson Receipts: npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson Why does the bot require a GPU? npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson I think Sicily gets a "winning while losing" award for this. #climateChange npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson @npub1fdr…lvhs has an #OpenLetter to #PolicyMakers to create a regulatory environment to prevent the #enshittification of our already partly enshittified #CleanTech npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson @npub1fdr…lvhs on the practicalities of #jetpacks "Even a brief moment's serious consideration should make it clear why we wouldn't want the distracted, stoned, drunk, suicidal, homicidal maniacs who pilot their two-ton killbots through our residential streets at 75mph to be *flying over our heads* with a reservoir of high explosives strapped to their backs." npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson In the #1990s, large-scale adoption of inter-connectivity of those PCs via #BBS, whether it was via #Compuserve, smaller #ISPs, or the #AOL behemoth, really took off. This changed how people exchanged information. This web ( #web1_0 ) was largely a one directional vehicle for information, despite the success of "interactive" applications like #email and #usenet. 3/16 npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson In the #1980s, personal computing took off with the #IBM #PC, #Commodore64, and #Apple products. This changed how people worked with, used, processed, and viewed information. I like to think of this as the 0-dimensional case, in a mathematical sense, as if each user were an isolated point. 2/16 npub12tx5d0tmtdy3tq4c9zmvlpz6a5rvcu0npduy4s4r8g4lsk2nm5zqfp26dk Oliver Sampson Some thoughts on where we are with the evolution of #InformationTechnology, #AI and #machinelearning how we got here, complete with a silly #mathematical anlogy.
