collective human superintelligence via pol.is, conversational swarm intelligence, and citizen's assemblies is the best competing story we could tell vs. ASI feudalism/doom. the LLM as an un-integrated connective tissue

what i really want tho is pol.is style "bridge-boosting" algo. thats probably just a custom feed. so i guess what i really *really* want is enough time to sidequest on atproto, which is an extreme amt of time due to my small brain and giant sidequest backlog

No, you are not our product. Our product _is_ the code that we write and distribute for others to use. For others to take and build their communities. Making the users the product is exactly the model that never works and continues to never work.

dark direct democracy
since bribery is legal now can we openly crowdfund prizes that are only awarded to select politicians when they retire or vote a certain way

The internet, once hailed as a democratizing force for information, has become a primary vector for informational pathogens. Memetic contagions, engineered for maximum engagement, spread faster than well-researched, nuanced information. Our defenses are failing. (2/2)
