  • Of course there is no public evidence. It’s just a very probable speculation that governments want to control the internet.

    Back in the days of newspapers/radio/tv, governments had control as they could easily go after news outlets.

    However, with internet, they lost this power. They have been trying hard to regain the power of controlling information. The latest success was masking moderation as child protection.






  • For the lazy, here is the summarization of my local AI:

    You’d like to have a powerful ability: being able to ask the universe any question in modern English at any time, without limitations or rituals, and receive an answer that’s:

    1. Understandable by your current self (no significant changes to physical or mental stability)
    2. Delivered within 3600 seconds (an hour) of asking
    3. Reformatted if necessary to protect your stability
    4. Includes explanations for unknowable questions
    5. Avoids circular logic
    6. Doesn’t require an unreasonable sacrifice (if a sacrifice is needed, you’ll be informed)
    7. Allows transfer of answers to another individual, as long as they can understand the answer and meet the previous conditions.

    In essence, you want to have direct access to all knowledge in the universe, without any negative consequences or sacrifices that might harm your well-being or stability.






  • An important detail that is missing here is how deallocation works.

    When an application tells the system that it no longer needs a chunk of memory, the system does not erase the data from that region. It instead allows other applications to take control of that chunk.

    Imagine it like renting a room, but you keep a copy of the key before checking out. You have supposedly left the room, but you still have access to it.

    In the software world, this is unintentional behavior. In the real world, it would look like you accidentally return to that room.

    Or, like you checkout, but your friend still has a key. Without knowing that you checked out, they return to take a bath. If a 3rd person knows about this miscommunication, they can rent that room, and steal your friend’s money during the bath.
