Stop cyberbullying the EU!

I found this essay about it superinteresting: https://disinfo.zone/loureiro_chaos.html

What are the strongest points of the prosecutors and why do they not hold water?

I can’t be the only one who finds it taxing to read AI generated articles. It is as though the soulless nature of the text requires me to put in part of my soul to extract its meaning.

In the latest All-in Podcast, Chamath was talking about how we must find a way to transact online that preserves privacy. Around the1:03 mark. The guy has direct access to Trump.

I went to the video after you said it was stuck at 295 and I was not counted. So YouTube is misrepresenting the number of views.

I think you missed a large part of the generational divide by characterizing it as boomers and young people. As a Gen Xer, I could not identify with either group in your analysis. We are probably around the same age. Did we really ever believe in the establishment? After living through the aftermath of 9/11 and the forever wars. Is it really a shock to us that it appears to be coming apart? If there is any difference, it is more about how the generations reacted, whether through protests, quiet surrender, or defiant nihilism.

Sounds like an extremely risk averse person, who does not understand the real risk.

Why should I be more worried about algorithmic breakthroughs for quantum computers than for classical computers?

My understanding is that SHA-256 is weakened by quantum algorithms, but not to an extent that is significant in practice. The situation is not the same as for RSA. It is not automatic that if we build powerful quantum computers, bitcoin breaks. An algorithmic breakthrough is needed. Worth thinking about, but there is already a risk that people break cryptography with classical algorithms. Am I understanding this correctly?

I think a lot of people see it. But Europeans are more complacent, and more suspicious of any strong opinions or ideology. This probably goes back to the second world war and its aftermath. So we work out compromises, without principles, and then compromise the compromises. Rinse and repeat.
