    Ja geschenkt, ist nicht wovon ich hier rede. Sie hat 2024 ein Buch Gute Energie veröffentlicht.

    Was wenn Depression, Ängstlichkeit, Unfruchtbarkeit, Alzheimer […] haben die selbe Wurzel Ursache? Die Wahrheit ist, sie haben.

    Darin hat sie erzählt dank “pflanzlicher Medizin 🍄” die Liebe gefunden zu haben, und alles mögliche andere Geschwurbel.

    Hat für mich auch was kooptiertes: “Ich glaube dass wir mit guten Vibes die Welt heilen können, bin rechts btw ☺️”

    Rechte lieben es die Ästhetik von Linken zu kooptieren. Funktioniert leider auch oft, weil eine Ästhetik von den meisten nur oberflächlich verstanden wird.

    Etwas verwandt: die neue Sanitätsinspekteur Generalin von Präsident Trumpf ist ein Hippie und wirbt für Magische Pilze Therapie.

    SmartTV is still a missing link for me too. A Kodi RaspberryPi hooked up via HDMI seems viable.

    I wish I could just flash the firmware with a Linux and reinstall the Apps I need, but the whole ecosystem seems way too intransparent, and I’m not a passionate hardware hacker.



  • The point would be, to roll it all into the ID issuing process. I think most EU IDs already have cryptographic identities built in. The certificate issuing should probably be a state service as well. The alternative would probably be, just mail your birth certificate and a 3D scan of your anus to the private age verification provider of your choice.

    It of course all falls back to a central state authority. But the process wouldn’t have to be more centralized and privacy-invasive than state IDs already are. Control of resident data could be kept at municipality level, and you wouldn’t need a central approver, that gets a running feed of all my age-restricted activities.

    Before I sound like I’m soying over ID verification, I’ll add that all this junk can become insidious very quick, if it becomes easy to implement and gets used everywhere. I also detest beyond measure that my ID currently stores a scan of my fingerprint, and I hope the court-ordered deadline makes that shit illegal again in 2027.


  • I’ll slightly nitpick the claim about the central ID register, because you can do a lot of this stuff decentralized with smart IDs.

    I imagine it works like this: You somehow get your hands on a certificate that reads “yo, the controller of the key pair with public key a4c6… is over 18 - signed, new south wales records agency”. You hook up your smart card to pass some cryptographic test, and voilá: you proved you have the ID of an adult and know their PIN.

    Not that I advocate for IDing everytime you visit a website, but I guess I’d be fine with it for ordering weed online. I expect we’ll get something like it in the EU, if we decide not to go full fucking surveillance state.




  • After reading his older article, I can totally see how he fits into one of the middle layers of the diagram in the UAntwerp paper. He moved beyond basic followership and knows enough to stan EA to potential recruits. But he hasn’t advanced to the part where you score comfy research positions in backroom deals with rich benefactors. So AI doom is just one of those things he doesn’t really get, but a lot of people he respects take it super seriously, so it’s got to be something.

    Amazing how well he it the nail on the head back then.

    In the beginning, EA was mostly about fighting global poverty. Now it’s becoming more and more about funding computer science research to forestall an artificial intelligence–provoked apocalypse. At the risk of overgeneralizing, the computer science majors have convinced each other that the best way to save the world is to do computer science research. Compared to that, multiple attendees said, global poverty is a “rounding error.”
