y, this is the bitcoin guy....
but its not about bitcoin, at least for the most part.

his talk is about digital communities, like ours.

how can we prevent this here?
can we even?

 

i am so loaded, is Ultron heading here orwhat

 

oh THAT! some anuses were certainly probed, and not in that kinky i am not gay it tickles way

where is couch? mods? admins? saints? i think im gonna

 

If everyone here sells out and stops being weird, I'm going to feel very lonely and abandoned.

 

Probably. There are too many "Cubase and Creeper Helens"

 

This topic sounds really interesting but I can't make it through the vid.. Can someone point me to the cliff notes please?

 

I'm three minutes into this video and really want to turn it off!!!
However, I will try to make it through the whole half hour if I can focus for that long.

I'm starting to get the jist of it now I think.

So far the guy is talking about the corporatisation of small businesses etc and the overtaking of social constructs within an established community.
When the Corporations took over, local creativity disappeared and fell fowl to the newly established order. Social manipulation ensued through false promise of a potential partnering of the sexes via dating web sights etc. The problem with this was that the so called enticer was in fact a male pretending otherwise in order to attract potential customers to this online scam.
He then goes on to explain about the beginnings of Usenet and the distinction between the clean sanitized version vs the Alt free thinking groups version.
The corporate decision was to dress it up and sanitize it to the point where it became boring, therefore the interesting folks moved on.
Then the World Wide Web came into fruition with its weird and wonderful colorful content and such. The decision was made to polish and clean it up for the purpose of positive consumer experience and sanitized marketing.

Snzzzzz. I'm getting tired now and have paused the video at 11.37. Not even half way through.
Man its tough to listen to this guy but he talks a lot of sense and it might be worth checking him out if you can stand it.

 

Oh wow, you actually felt my pain but persevered and I'm really impressed with your synopsis . A sincere thanks !

This does sound really interesting. I continued from about the 11min mark through the rest and he is actually absolutely right. I think if a Usenet system could be secure enough to protect all of the freedoms of speech this vid mentions on this forum (or any Usenet type "database") its revolutionary. my 2cents

Hey KungPaoFist - Thanks for that mate but I couldn't actualy make it throught the whole video. However it is interesting and might be enjoyed better in small bytes. If you've had a good 8 hours sleep and feel refreshed then you might just stand a chance of making it through. Peace!

 

Sounds Interesting! I'll catch up once Ive had a good kip. Yeah we definitely need a revolutionary system to protect our privacy but I feel that the powers that be are already a few steps ahead of us in that respect (Possibly through AI). I mean, they already had backdoor entry to our systems years ago through the chips and we only became aware of it a couple of years ago. The technology that they posses is years ahead of us so they always have the upper hand. I actually heard recently that they have a back door to VPN's! Whether or not that's true is yet to be revealed.

 

Why not, if there is a will there is a way, either through corruption of the flesh and/or the ever growing problem solving skills of the ever more adept and powerful computing AI. Point it in a direction and watch it go.

 

Exactly! Technology now is so advanced that you can put the face of say Obama on to a porn models head and even manipulate his voice through adobe technology to say things that he never said and it is so realistic that it's scary. I mean, this is our advanced technology. Just think what Technology the powers that be probably have in their armory!

 

If you're wondering how to prevent such a thing, it would be to avert or prevent the process he describes starting at 7:05. Corporate "sponsorship" and usurpation is the main enemy.

Look at what happened to Austin, Texas. It had used to be a great place to be young with no money; now, it's a great place to be young with a lot of money. And it's a family-friendly caricature of the very "weirdness" that was used to sell the city out to ruthless developers and asoulless tech companies. But of course, this has happened in Portland, San Francisco, Chicago, New York . . .

There's this term, "authentrification" - from this article: "in their quest for authenticity, they’re seizing on elements that represent the area’s past and repurposing them as a design scheme" This is how Austin, Texas became Austinland Theme Park.

When Audiosex starts running advertising, or is purchased by Reddit, or is pressured by Leftists to make it more "inclusive," or is in any other way pressured to alter its comportment or pay some third-party piper, it will be as good as "over."

 

"Long" vid short: If a small "rebellious" group has an interesting idea and this idea becomes popular, there is a real danger that it will also be commercialized, and in this way the "rebellion" will go south and the rebells have to move on and start all over again, until...

It's a well known phenomena for years and happened to a lot of cities or their districts in the past.
In theory it's easy to prevent. It depends on the owners! In the case of the cities or their districts, the government supported/forced the commercialisation and in case of the web site, it were the site-owners who did it.
So, in our case it would be SAiNT's decision. All we can do is to ask him: "don't do it, please and show 'em these: & ."

We're on the same page but I prefer my porn models without a former president's face on her

 

Yeah, that and they also then have access to all the stuff R2R hasn't released into the wild...but what is to be done?

 

The universe is beautiful and twisted in the same sentence

 

What is even scarier is the possibility that all that power in the end would be used against the people en masse ... a sudden flood of videos that incriminate us all with our faces being put on porn bodies and saying things like "my daddywhack yo chillistack!"
Absolutely frightening.

 

That in-sincere smile and not-funny laugh give him away. His use of buzz phrases to try to appear modern, "cool place", "interesting people". No one can decide what a cool place is or who interesting people are. It's not only musicians and artists who are interesting for God's sake! The sheeple who can't think for themselves just accept and are sucked in. These type of people tell you that corporate and advertising are dirty words. They are, in and of themselves, not. Now imagine a 'Peoples' Corporation' where everything works the way it should, without any evil corruption nor stealing of money from the people. Now imagine 'Peoples' advertising' where the advertising is honest and sincere, does not contain evil subliminals and mind manipulation. All the corporations, media and institutions work very well. We just need to re-structure the management and modify the mission statement. If we can't get rid of the psycopaths running the current corporations, the only solution is to create our own, Peoples' versions.

As for the internet, I would have rather recorded a video message on my phone and post that than type this, God, how old-fashioned, we're still typing away on our stupid little keyboards and clicking on childish little smilies. I want to dictate a text on my phone and post that. Why can't I do these things yet? Talk about old-fashioned forum software! We're nowhere near where we should be with the internet. Why is the world trapped inside a .. .. what is this internet place .. some sort of weird library. Let's take the internet to the next level. There need to be many internets. The real world is not all located on one street. Let's have a shopping internet. A musician's internet. An education internet. I don't want the entire human experience on one damn search engine, how primitive.
