Can't expect any honesty here, my friend. Vested interest and latent stockholm syndrom prevails.

> Now companies want to make as much money with it as they can.

That's exactly what I meant when I wrote "...strive to keep the status quo of being way beyond the capabilities of the people".

Monopolizing the means of maximizing the profits to maximize the power - now that's some deep conspiracy territory, indeed.

Parse it as "seemingly independent governments of the world and international big business blended and interlocked together to the point of being indistinguishable" to ease the torture.

Well, that's no surprise, because governments/corporations (in fact, The Govporation these days) strive to keep the status quo of being way beyond the capabilities of the people, hence the monopoly on weapon-grade tools - and I seriously think that AI-produced speech that is indistinguishable from the human one is a weapon-grade tool.

The parent didn't mention real-time as a requirement. Offline rendering would well suffice.

I am afraid to hurt your feelings with incautious wording, so you might want to make your educated guess as to what I really meant to communicate to you.

I recommend everyone interested in percolation theory to also check https://meltingasphalt.com/interactive/going-critical/ and play with critical thresholds interactively!

My comment was rather language-agnostic. Are there any fundamental differences in implementation of RSA or EC in various languages?

Q: Which type of cryptography is implied to be unsafe in the following sentence?:

"Immediately ditch RSA in favor of EC, for it is too hard to implement safely!"

And it corrupts not only itself, but also the society it commands in general. That's why you had to use a throwaway to post an obvious truth that is guaranteed to trigger karma decrementers.

> an out of touch, or perhaps even uncaring, government

Perhaps even actively malicious, with "perhaps" converging to "definitely".

Half-loaf is too coarse a unit - how do I find exactly 23 breadcrumbs I need for my breakfast?

When CDC warns about society as a whole being subjected to total and deliberate menticide and discloses all means towards that end, it is only then that there will finally arrive some substance to discuss.

Otherwise it sounds like researching the swaying of trees without ever mentioning the wind.

The campaign against RSA is pretty evident for my pattern recognizer, for it comes in distinct waves and employs templated articles, which indicate an organized backing behind it; And it has some markers of psychological manipulation - first and foremost, when you honestly have an Y better than X, you don't yell at everyone imperatively to stop using X, instead you plausibly and intelligibly highlight all the advantages of Y and let the readers draw their own conclusions.

Clearly this is not the tactic used in the article in question and many more alike. One just doesn't promote better things by declaring all prior art inferior unfoundedly without any vested interest.

I'll just leave it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_anti-war_protests_in_Russ...

Because it's trendy to praise brushes instead of paintings, vinyl pressing quality instead of music, and languages instead of software these days.

Jean Baudrillard would call it another level of simulation.

> What’s So Hard About Understanding Consciousness?

It's the same kind of hard that stands in the way of programs debugging themselves.

buildAI() { buildAI() }

what could possibly go wrong? ah, the exit cond.....

> I have been, and still remain, a massive proponent of "the cloud".

Mice cried and stung themselves, but kept eating the cactus.

No surprise here. One World Corporation is going to reserve 1 for itself. This tweet is just a test drive.

Planned obsolescence.

This may well end up with CPU vendors adopting food storage cant.

"Ignel i11-23017K, MFD: 2025.05.01, EXP: 2026.09.03, consume within 3 months of first power-on".

> BitTorrent v2 not only uses a hash tree, but it forms a hash tree for every file in the torrent.

Could this potentially make cracking down on illegal content easier?

Looks like an example of the emerging genre of post-truth-quasi-parody, where if goal A fails then it is represented as goal B.

Goal A is to dupe the most gullible of cryptozealots, trying to gain financially, goal B is to mock them, gaining exposure.

Win-kinda-win.

Never see a pattern where there is a pattern.

(I grant everyone the right to call this law after themselves)

Absolutely it is. But there really is a difference the past decade (I'd say two) made.

It is the quantity and quality of psychological manipulation.

What happened to Germans in 1930s won't repeat again, people are more knowledgeable and less susceptible to mass hypnosis in the 21st century, right?

And bang, all of a sudden there is a menace which didn't exist before. By mere redefinition of what a menace is.

Talking about brushes instead of paintings.

An overwhelming part of society has lost the essence in everything and went full-on meta, some 10 years ago one could find wonderful album reviews on Discogs, as example, but not anymore - the vinyl press quality is the topic 99% of comments over there now. The only feeling music seems to be inducing in those people is that of annoyance at clicks, pops and scratches.
