Only 30 days until HOPE XV! The list of talks has been gaining shape, and there is a LOT of interesting stuff hitting stages.

We've got @pluralistic giving a talk about Enshittification, as well as @thegibson and @Medus4 presenting the fundamentals of . We've also got Jeremy Hammond back onstage talking about circumventing private prison panopticons, @inversephase getting some glorious stage time, and a whole host of other talks about AI, solarpunk, security, privacy, and everything in between.

I haven't had a chance to get to a conference in far too long, and the last go around my brain was just not in the right place for one. But this year? Oh hell yes, let's do this.

Get tickets. Come hang out.

I really wish “cryptobro” meant “guy who is unreasonably into cryptids”

Folks remembering today - remember that he was moving publicly-funded research out from behind a paywall.

Then remember the only reason the case went forward is because federal prosecutors, specifically Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann, wanted to make an example of him.

“Theft is theft, and it doesn’t matter if you use a crowbar or a computer” were Heymann’s words at the time.

Notice how federal prosecutors aren’t bullying Sam Altman for the wholesale theft of content network-wide, to build a machine that spews bullshit and further destroys our ability to determine the truth?

It’s because he’s doing it for private profit, while Aaron worked for the public good.

Never let yourself be tricked into believing the legal system is a justice system.

@SnerkRabbledauber Yes! That's the gray space.

Obviously people were involved, many of them cared about it more than just clock in, clock out, some were even passionate about it. There is still corporate AAA media that contains oodles of creativity and personal inspiration and I will gush about it here.

Ultimately though, it got created for the corporate machine, following machine rules, and all the heart that's in there is there in spite of that, it got snuck in or aligned with the profit motive.

And yeah, there's residuals, but financially if you would have bought it and then don't, that's mostly affecting the machine.

@Azure Yeah, it doesn't even make sense economically, it's not sustainable, it's eating its own tail. Only works until everyone is doing it.
