   Thanks for this.

   My first answer is that in focusing on governance and not use-cases, we are focused on shifting the grounds of power underlying this tech, and thus calling for different versions of the tech. This is different from the "AI for good" idea, which is about adopting the tools as they are for pro-social uses.

   I notice people posting about trying to get a job, so here's hoping that an appropriate candidate reads this.

   My employer is looking for someone with devops skills (Linux, databses, networking and development) who's willing to work in Singapore.

   The job involves supporting customers (mostly banks) running financial software.

   Let me know if you want to know more.

   Not sure what hashtag to use for this, so feel free to boost.

   @aud I see you. I hear you.

   I agree with you on just about all of this.

   My only point was that I was trying to encourage the blowback on Trump.

   I also repeatedly said I agreed with the premises of the replies, but that they were accusatory & nasty, not as helpful & clear as your response

   Replies to 1/2 of my sentence, despite my repeated clarifications, not helpful

   "Political wins, Opportunism": 100% true. My goal was to exploit his posts to help open eyes to Trump, fight back.

   @mhoye OK, but I still don't think we're anywhere close to agreeing on this.

   My view is that PowerShell and the Windows perms system are awful, overcomplicated things that essentially zero users understand (and if you can't understand it, you can't use it to secure your stuff) built with the NSA model of security, which is fundamentally wrong.

   But I just mentioned Windows in the context of Wayland's ideas about unfactoring a bunch of layers that should be cleanly factored, based on how Windows never factored them properly.

   Yes, you are misunderstanding the point — mostly by overinterpreting it.

   The core thought there is “I wish people would stop romanticizing the French Revolution” and “no fairy tale outcome.” Just that.

   There’s a wrongheaded strain of thought that never seems to die to the effect that revolution yields utopia (though people rarely state it so baldly, because it sounds silly), and thus social collapse is Good Actually 🧐🧐🧐. People sometimes hold up the French Revolution as an example of this.

   My argument is that (1) if you’re looking for models of success to follow, the French Revolution is perhaps not an ideal one, and (2) social destabilization brings long-term risks, and isn’t a panacea.

   I mean, don’t get me wrong; I’m glad the French ended the monarchy. (All 3? 4? times they ended it? I lose count.) And I hope we defeat oligarchy too. We must.

   I heard we're getting quote posts! TBH I like that option, it lets me pull my following into conversations more easily, though I know not everyone is for this.

   My thought is, you can already quote post by copying the link to the post, but OP doesn't find out about it unless you tag them. I'd prefer to get the notification so that I'm aware if someone is trying to instigate harassment.
