What you’re describing is already possible with email as it is, using the In-Reply-To header or whatever its name was. No need for cryptographic signatures. The only issue is that common mail clients still automatically quote the whole message being replied to for no good reason. It should work like it used to on phpbb forums: no quote by default, quote selected part if text is selected.

I believe it will get better and more efficient as we go. On a side note, OpenAI seems to release products before they are ready and they evolve as they go.
In your mind, what will our world look like once AGI is achieved, and that technology will likely be exclusively in the hands of governments and large corporations? What guarantees do we have that it will be used for the benefit of the common person? What will happen to the large swathes of the human population that will not only be permanently economically useless, but worse than useless? They'll need to be fed, clothed, housed and entertained with the only things they provide back being their opinions and complaints.

I literally couldn't care less about recursively-improving superintelligence. AGI in the hands of the rich and powerful is already a nightmare scenario.

Google, OpenAI, and Meta Could Revolutionize Smart Glasses
Google's recent demo of Project Astra, an early preview of a future AI-powered universal assistant, has reignited interest in the potential of smart glasses. Near the end of the demo, a Google employee seamlessly continues conversing with the assistant while wearing a pair of glasses, hinting at the possibility of a game-changing feature for the next generation of Google Glass.

Picture yourself wearing smart glasses with a heads-up display (HUD) advanced enough to show you all the information you need.This could be the shakeup the world of personal computing needs, allowing smartphones to remain in our pockets while we interact with our digital lives through our glasses.

By having a highly versatile, universal AI assistant with you at all times, you could handle every phone-related task without constantly juggling multiple devices.

To achieve this, OpenAI, Google and Meta may need to create a new kind of multimodal foundation model that can understand both voice and typed commands. This model would serve as a subroutine that communicates with the main AI assistant and executes commands to control your phone apps. By residing on your phone, this model could address privacy concerns and eliminate the need for cloud processing.

Exports make money, but the Chinese Government is heavily subsidizing the manufacturing and so the prices are artificially low and likely are unprofitable without the subsidies. Their plan is to crush domestic competition in export countries with prices below cost. Once they have extinguished competition they will increase prices and dominate any foreign market dumb enough to have left them in. Countries with domestic production would be foolish not to implement tariffs.

Do you think in future we would have AI based browsers with fluidic UIs to make everything simple for the user.

Sure, the routing algorithms can quickly adapt to changes in network topology, but they assume infinite bandwidth, which hasn't been the case since a long time now.

In other words, if a couple of important pipes disappear between tier1 peers, alternate routes will certainly have trouble handling all the new traffic, which would make everything grind to a halt, and will only be solved by pissed network admins null-routing that additional load.

Isn't the Catholic church becoming the roman Catholic church or vice versa sort of the same thing? Even with the split into Protestant it's still essentially the same core and looking back 5000 years from now it would probably be reasonable to glue it all together as the Ancient Roman-Christian period / civilization.

Two people entering an agreement to not talk about something is fine.

You’ve hit on a giant thing that bothers me about this discourse: endless rationalistic discourse about systems and phenomena that we have no experience with at all, not even analogous experience.

This is not like the atomic bomb. We had tons of experience with big bombs. We just knew atom bombs if they worked could make orders of magnitude larger booms. The implications if real big bombs could be reasoned about with some basis in reality.

It wasn’t reasoning about wholly unknown types of things that no human being has ever encountered or interacted with.

This is like a panel on protocols for extraterrestrial contact. It’d be fine to do that kind of exercise academically but these people are talking about passing actual laws and regulations on the basis of reasoning in a vacuum.

We are going to end up with laws and regulations that will be simultaneously too restrictive to human endeavor and ineffective at preventing negative outcomes if this stuff ever manifests for real.
Yeah, some way of authorizing senders would be nice. I don't think this will ever happen, but one can dream.

When registering on a website, the "validate email address" step would then be an auth flow, instead of "we send you an email and you click that link". And there's no need to authorize the website to send you messages, since successfully completing the flow would be good enough verification.

Could be based on OIDC or IndieAuth.

Forgot password for that website? Enter email, get redirected to your auth flow, verify. (Or just do something like "Login with Google", but with this thing instead).

The website abused the auth flow and requested permissions to send you messages, and now you're getting spam from them? Click some button that says "I don't want to receive messages from [NAME] anymore", where "[NAME]" is whatever name associated to that token, and it revokes that token.

Getting a weird message from some unknown site? Same as above, plus you would know who sold your token without needing email aliases or anything.

> * Maybe for people who don't have a valid token to send to someone, there can be a way of requesting a token, maybe the sender's name, public key/address, a short sentence for justifciation and if the recipient agrees, then the sender can send the rest of the mail.

Can confirm. As a high schooler, I used to meet up with friends in the middle of the night at an elementary school playground. Mostly we would just swing on the swings and chat. Occasionally we'd share a 6-pack of beer, shame on us.

One night, somebody called the cops, who called school district security. When they drove up we left without saying hi because we get it, we're not wanted here.

Well they called the cops back, who chased us down (we ran, 'cause we were stupid). I was apprehended and from the back of the cop car I counted six other cop cars and a helicopter all looking for my friends for the crime of being near a school at night (the cops never mentioned the beer).

I have a few suggestions, but I live in Texas so they probably do not want to hear from me.

Our society's future will be determined by our software.

1. If software includes safety features that prevent a user from doing something, they must be transparent and easy to turn off. Otherwise the maker and resellers are liable for any damage they cause. For example, if my car insurance phone app goes into harassment mode because I am using my phone as I drive then you are liable for my not being able to use a mapping program to help me drive my wife to a hospital.

2. If your DRM or copy protection interferes with legitimate use of your software, you must provide 24/7/365 phone access to live humans who answer within 120 seconds and undo the damage immediately. I suggest you use video conferencing software on cell phones so you can talk to the user and see their computer screen. Or you could stop using DRM and copy protection.

3. It is fraud to claim a click-wrap license agreement is binding if it was not fully disclosed, letter-for-letter before the software was paid for or downloaded. It is also fraud to request any changes to the EULA or any other contract after payment or downloading or any other effort by the user.

4. EULAs must be understandable by an average 7th grader or they are fraud.

Given the high risks of cyber warfare:

5. Software must work without any online connection. That means it must be installable and fully usable. It must not stop working.

6. No software can have a remote kill switch or spying ability.

7. Makers and resellers have strict liability for any exploits found in their software.

8. Backdoors in software are illegal.

9. User data can never be shared with anyone the user does not want to share it with. No bribes or threats can be used to get permission.

10. It is illegal to access someone's computer without their permission. That permission can not be purchased, induced, or gained by deception.

11. Any software with a global installed base where users of 100,000 copies are willing to pay 10 pounds per year for maintenance are entitled to have that software maintained. The copyright holder can maintain it, ir they can subcontract that maintenance to another party. 95% of the 1 million pounds per year will go to whoever is willing and able to maintain the software. The copyright holder may not refuse to low this maintenance and must provide all code and documentation to the maintainers. For example, Windows 95 would still be getting updates if this were the law.

12. All violations of these laws will be punished by a fine in the amount of the damages plus 1 day in jail for every 300 pounds (GBP) of damages. Let me repeat: The guilty parties will serve 24 hours in jail for every 300 pounds of damages they cause. There will be no exceptions.

> One has to wonder what Googlers, if surveyed again, really think "fair and equitable" pay is.

It's written as a rabble-rousing op-ed piece.

It could be they're genuinely outraged (after all, this is someone on journalist compensation, looking at Leetcode performance artist TC), or they could just be going for clicks, or they could be doing a hit piece on Google PR, or they could be helping Google to suppress compensation.

IMHO, there are much better things to criticize Google over, than that they pay well. Especially some of the company behaviors that enable paying high TC. BI's full disclosure on the article says their company is suing over some company behaviors.

I don't think your reply conflicts with my comment. I was clarifying that modern JS engines do not directly interpret JS. JS is always compiled to bytecode which is then interpreted or compiled to machine code.
You seem to be inflating the emotional importance of my comment. Google did an enormous amount of the research prior to scaling. I merely pointing out that if there's credit to be given out, a bunch of it goes to Google.
> The PROTECT Act provisions have repeatedly been upheld by both appellate the Supreme Court as constitutional as long as the CSAM in question meets the Miller or Ferber standards. Either the law is constitutional, or you’re proposing that the courts are illegitimate, the latter of which is conspiratorial.

I'm sorry, but it is absolutely not "conspiratorial" to suggest that the judicial system is compromised. You have to be living under a rock to not understand that all three branches of government are effectively compromised to party-line political agendas backed by corporations, NGOs, etc.

Our forefathers would have spit in disgust at the idea of the bill of rights being perverted to the point that drawing the wrong lines on a piece of paper and keeping it in one's own home calls for removing one's liberty and placing them in prison. And this extends to modern technology such as image editors. And I stress, we are talking about production/possession, not distribution. There is actually a case for restricting distribution of such material.

Generally speaking, only a fool could look around at the state of the US government and say, "the laws are just and anyone who questions their justness is conspiratorial." That is textbook gaslighting, whether you intend for it or not.

> You are right that there is a campaign to limit access to open source generative AI models, but it is not an initiative led by the government.

Again, calling bullshit. [0]

Our government is in the business of staying in business, at the expense of individual liberty. This is well established going back decades. I'm not even going to argue that point with you. And because of this, they will absolutely treat foundational models with the same playbook as cryptography in the 90's if they feel like it's necessary. [1]

The government already did all of this with cryptography, and it was a war hard won. So you have to make the airtight case that they won't do it again. Not the other way around. You have to prove that they have changed for the better. I don't have to prove anything because history is on my side.

Please, I beg of you, do not delude yourself that the US government wants what is best for you, while they are spending billions bombing hospitals overseas with tax dollars that could greatly benefit our own citizens. Do not delude yourself that it is just corporations, or just the government. It is CorpGov. They are, in the end, one in the same, in that they play ball when it suits them, and play against each other when it suits them. Don't be a sucker. And please don't accidentally gaslight others by throwing out accusations of conspiratorialism the moment they question the credibility of the US government.

I expect any followup response to dispense with the gaslighting and ad hominem, and focus on fostering a constructive debate. If you can't do that, just end the conversation here and do some hard thinking.
