If any of these recently terminated Google employees are looking for a new job halting AI-powered surveillance and genocide, Nym is open for hiring.

European police chiefs have come out against encryption in full force. With no regards for human rights, freedom of expression and security. Instead of supporting a technology that can reduce their error rate and keep people safe. It’s terrifying: europol.europa.eu/cms/sites/defa…

Privacy in physical space is rapidly decreasing. Better privacy online is one of the few tools we have to restore a little bit of balance.

Privacy is normal. Support privacy.

! While we just have the statue of Chelsea E. Manning and we can only hope Assange and Edward Snowden will soon be free, it's still great to work with Adam Back on realizing the vision of the cypherpunks: Privacy-enhanced digital cash - Bitcoin!- with low fees Liquid Network 🌊.

The passing of Dan Dennett - whose work on evolution and the intentional stance is more relevant now than ever due to AI - is a loss for philosophy.

I ran into him at American University of Beirut where he warned against mind control by big platforms at commencement.

While AI-powered drones are killing children and mass surveillance threatens free speech, it's time to talk about the real dangers of AI, not pseudo-philosophical bullshit about existential risk.

Glad the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford shutdown!

Everyone will need the Nym mixnet. Never trust any government to prevent surveillance - given them an inch, and they take a mile.

Republicans and Democrats in the USA should be ashamed of themselves for renewing this Stasi-style surveillance.

Happy 90th birthday to Fredric Jameson, by far the most intelligent person I have encountered! I am honored to have studied Hegel under him, returning his kindness by helping him recover WordPerfect documents. May his dedication to revolutionary teaching be an example to us all.

There is no intelligence in an AI that 'predicts' where to land missiles to murder humans.

AI is no excuse to absolve mortal humans of their responsibility. Committing a war crime because the 'The AI told me to' is no better than the Nuremberg defense.
