My rationale is personal, suddenly. Those things stack up but I saw something specific that made me lose trust in what matters to me, thought I dont think it matters to most people. I want him to succeed so Im not a hater, I want him to push ahead for humanity if he will, with SpaceX, Tesla, the mind pong monkey, the bots.. I still haven't come to terms with reconciling that I wouldnt of thought it could be true, but I saw it myself in real time....manipulating information on twitter. I submitted a thread here about it with screenshots.

Same boat. Was so inspired and on board, even recently. I see what others say about him but it didn’t effect me, even as practically every colleague I know complained. I am no longer a supporter in my heart.

Any suggestion for a more elegant solution? For example, with copyrights, it’s in many ways granted automatically just by existence. Other terms and privacy rights don’t require popups.

Could chaos theory help explain how and why memes flow? I propose memes are physical and follow patterns that could be more accurately measured and predicted.

Distinguishing web3 from Web 3.0

Posted by andrewbaron on Thursday January 06, 2022 @02:06PM
from the self-post dept.

web3 is awesome but it's not the same as Web 3.0, "The Semantic Web", which is what follows from Web 2.0. Web 3.0 will have complex data structures designed for bots, to have more structured depth to the information they have to work with, to be smarter with the algorithms that will provide you with more effective information, a world that will look a lot like the world portrayed in the film...

I think you are right that it does take a lot of effort for to do it right, one needs to design a whole new compatible experience. On the other hand, this interface and dataset here is fairly raw already, so a lot of the form would follow naturally.

Seems like this kind of scenario is inevitable. There are also browser extensions for skipping, like Magic Actions for YouTube.

Advertising values are constantly being devalued. It would be nice if there was a way to move beyond advertising on the web as the primary business model. Wikipedia is the only top 10 site on the net that does not rely on advertising.
