But you mentioned this at the bottom of the post and I missed it. [08:10] schestowitz >> It would still be feasible to meet "IRL" one day. [08:10] schestowitz > You'll have to be quick, I've been operated on twice and have various ailments caused by the covid vaccine. The NHS sends someone round once a week to check-up I'm not dead yet. At least that's what he said outside the front-door, not realizing I could hear him through the intercom. [08:10] schestowitz > [08:10] schestowitz >>> As I mentioned and over time, legitimate online dissent is being crushed. The last free forum is Xitter and the powers that be seem desperate to shut it down. [08:10] schestowitz >> dissent is being crushed in that site too.

From my experience it's already being used to narrow the range of thought. In the Orwellian sense. for instance, I asked ChatGPT to tell a joke featuring Jesus, Budda and Mo. It had no problem with the first two but refused on the third as it would be disrespectful. When I pointed out this contradiction, ChatGPT crashed and reported me to the mothership. Same with abortion and other contemporaneity wo [08:10] schestowitz ke shibboleth. [08:10] schestowitz > -- [08:10] schestowitz > [08:10] schestowitz > According to Wikipedia, Microsoft Windows was not designed with the Internet in mind. This is of course BS. I posted a doc by Nathan Myhrvold describing Windows NT as*the* ecommerce platform. This was of course removed. I believe there's a copy on techrights. The point is, the record is being scrubbed as we speak. And with everything going to be funneled through ClippyAI, it's going to get worse. [08:10] schestowitz The trend is not new, but it may be accelerating, I agree. They try to automate things and dodge accountability.
