AI has effectively refuted the pro-privacy and FLOSS movements, hasn't it? Existential risk makes free software and unmonitored hardware existentially dangerous. Everything needs to be constantly monitored and controlled to prevent the generation of extra-contagious prions or airborne Marburg disease, among other things. It's hard to sell the idea of "freedom" when this freedom means anyone with compute can literally kill the entirety of humanity.
>>108716211Absolute religious nonsense. What a coincidence that the leader of the Never Wrong About Anything group is not wrong about anything and his assessment of the situation is that if software is made freely available then it will magically overcome the laws of physics because it just can okay and only he can tell us how to prevent this and it involves giving him unilateral control over everyone's lives and the entire economy forever. Also, if you disagree then you're de facto arguing in favour of the extinction of the human race according to the Never Wrong About Anything group, so you're not allowed to and must be deplatformed or killed.Snore.

>>108717673The only solution is unironically a global dictatorship that monitors everyone 24/7 for their own good. This is not an exaggeration. You personally need to be tightly controlled.
>>108718488You can't have that because there are just too many people to properly monitor. You'd have to thin out the global population first, with, say... another pandemic?
