  • One way forward I see is the fediverse. If we can create a platform that will be able to host a storefront for specific items, have it connect to other storefronts by some sort of federated search and cart system, allow a single point of transaction for a cart that spans multiple stores, and be able for the host to easily spin up an instance, that to me seems like it could start picking up traction easily and quickly. Think of etsy, consolidated into a specific niche. Expand that to thousands of instances with their own niches, able to connect to one another for a seamless shopping experience for the end user. Small business owners could run an instance of their own if they’d like. Or someone with some small equity could start an instance and focus solely on customer service, returns, overhead of site management, etc (maybe I’m dumb and this etc is bigger than I realize), and basically allow individuals to rent out a virtual booth in a digital flea market.

    That’s you being ignorant and burying your head in the sand (mostly applies if you’re American, you get a little more leeway if you’re not). The Epstein files are supposed to at the very least contain a client list of people who went to the island, who most could come to the conclusion were only there to rape children. Any more questions, look it up, it is very reported on











  • And what happens when mechahitler the next version of Grok or whatever AI hosted by a large corporation that only has the interest of capital gains comes out with unannounced injected prompt poisoning that doesn’t produce quality output like you’ve been conditioned to expect?

    These AI are good if you have a general grasp of whatever you are trying to find, because you can easily pick out what you know to be true and what is obviously a ridiculous mess of computer generated text that is no smarter than your phone keyboard word suggestions AI hallucination.

    Trying to soak up all the information generated by AI in a topic without prior knowledge may easily end up with you not understanding anything more than you did before, and possibly give you unrealistic confidence that you know what is essentially misinformation. And just because an AI pulls up references, unless you do your due diligence to read those references for accuracy or authority on the subject, the AI may be hallucinating where it got the wrong information it’s giving you.
