  • What I fear is, with Elongated Muskrat being dangerously close to the government and being invested in AI, we will get them immediately bailed out and/or consolidated into even less hands, even more deregulations, and maybe even some changes to copyright so it will expcilitly will allow not only the training on such material, but also the copyrighting of the output of generative AI.

    Issue being, a large number of conspiracy theories are just utter bonkers (moon nazis theory, etc.), would be really ineffective in practice (chemtrails, etc.), or tries to blame capitalism’s problem on a small number of people within the system (International Jewry, etc.). In fact I kind of have a theory that the more “skizo” stuff was put out to make the real stuff look impallatable for people believing the institutions are serving them.

    I know at least some opportunistic far-right people that use conspiracy theories to make their ideology look better, met at least one Holocaust denier that just wanted to whitewash the third reich for newbies until they prove they’re ready for the truth through proof of loyalty, and one denies the CIA’s involvement in toppling the Salvador Allende governance to make Pinochet look even more badass.


    1. Convoluted enough to scare the average people off from installing apps outside from the app store.
    2. In theory, code signing is a positive thing, and probably should be part of Linux too. In practice, it becomes an expensive paywall, that often pushes developers to make web applications instead (browsers don’t have to check for code signage), both on Mac and Windows.
