That doesn't really have the same rigidity. There would be no guarantee for others that it would remain available to them as long as they adhere to those principles.

Said another way, a bad faith actor could create a patent and make it available to FOS developers, but then turn around and sell that patent to someone who will charge those same developers.

I suppose you could have a third legally binding document that stipulates the terms of use, but kinda wish it was just handled under the patent.

Might be a stupid question, but I'd there a GNU license equivalent to patents? Could you patent something that could be used for free, but not used by a company in a for-profit matter?

I usually do quad stretches, forward bend, downward dog, childs pose, pretzel, and figure 4. I think the figure 4 has had the largest impact loosening up the glute to knee connection.

Do leg stretches every day. Most knee pain is associated with certain muscles overpowering others in rest state. Stretch them out to reset that balance. It's worked wonders for me, started seeing results in ~2weeks.

I mean, even with a union, if a company crumbles the laborers are out of a job.

Was this the root cause??? Hahahaha

It will be very difficult for someone over the internet to help you troubleshoot without some type of schematic of what you're trying to accomplish.

This is the way.

Command statement = an action

Question statement = a status

Hard to tell if this is a proposal to fight over hardware or an offer for free stuff.

I choose to believe the former because it makes me chuckle more.

I heard a hypothesis that the first human made consciousness will be an AI algorithm designed to monitor and coordinate other AI algorithms which makes a lot of sense to me.

Our consciousness is just the monitoring system of all our bodies subsystems. It is most certainly an emergent phenomenon of the interaction and management of different functions competing or coordinating for resources within the body.

To me it seems very likely that the first human made consciousness will not be designed to be conscious. It also seems likely that we won't be aware of the first consciousnesses because we won't be looking for it. Consciousness won't be the goal of the development that makes it possible.

A great point! I feel like the overarching end goal is a meritocracy - people are rewarded for their talents and hard work. I'd wager most people agree with this goal.

The problem becomes disentangling history and circumstance from our ability to measure talent and hard work. The only way we know to break some social norms that hinder a true meritocracy is to unfairly manipulate the playing field in the short term, which in itself does not follow a meritocracy.

I think there are a few main obstacles:

1. Perceived talent and hard work that was actually the result of circumstance - those that think the system is currently working and therefore their position is justified.
2. Lack of acceptance that the goal is long term / generational. Those that are unwilling to accept a temporary 'manipulated meritocracy' in the short term that would allow a better one in the future.
