It's been a topic of conferences, books, podcasts, and new laws for almost a decade. They have it all in plain sight. Lol, made it up.

Curtis Yarvin has his Butterfly Revolution, which Thiel is all in about. Therefore Musk as well. Of the five pillars of Yarvin's guide to authoritarianism, the EO about forcing university accreditation to heel is the last one needed to hit them all. Well documented, and the Nerd Reich had a post recently about how Yarvin is mad at how incompetent Trump and Musk are because they're literally not gasing people to death by now.

A guy named Balaji wrote a book called the Network State that outlines the government that should replace democraticly electing people. Also a podcast, also conferences with folks like the creator of Etherium backing it. He's been pushing countries to recognize DAOs as legal entities. Wyoming is on board, and Palau and the Marshall Islands have also been receptive as nation level test cases. Network city-states are in the mix as well.

This is the stuff that makes Project 2025 look like quaint kids' games. However, where they both agree is the idea of repealing the social gains of the 20th century. Civil rights, women's rights, gone. The goal is techno-fascist fifedoms built around crypto and AI, like Thiel's investment in Praxis, where broligarchs don't just have money, they control the force and violence of the state, which is something that money can't just buy.

Y'all, one of the far-reaching Broligarchy ideas they're hoping emerges from the ashes of the United States is the DAO, decentralized autonomous organization.

Every action in the block chain. They facilitate, and are predicated on, the idea of treating every aspect of life as a social network. Everything you do is recorded. So daily life ends up incentived toward constant, persistent, corralled engagement. The Network State is the term.

The difference is that you can't build a society on the mechanics of the tobacco industry. But you can on a human reaction industry.

That's exactly the problem.

However, o4 is actually "o4 mini-high" while o3 is now just o3 now. The full release, no "mini" or other limitations. At this point o3 in its full form is better than a limited o4.

But, none of that matters while Claude 3.7 exists.

The short version is to network yourself into a relationship and job where you don't need to apply by throwing your resume against the castle wall with 83848770188573937 other people.

Also, get a specific resume email address that you can trash once you have a job. "[email protected]" is easy, cheap, and helps you stand out from the crowd of gmail addresses.

You're correct. I was thinking of how I have Floorp set up.

CreepJS doesn't see NoScript as an extension and only catches me if I don't switch IPs. Time zone is also worth adjusting of one is serious.

And I pass this test, plus the EFF cover your tracks test, and AmIUnique, all the time.

Of course, and I'm saying that while turning JS on for Bob's website is maybe acceptable, leaving it turned off for gstatic, googleadmamager, etc. also on Bob's website is easier than the other way around. Layers of defense. Don't count on canvas blocker.

Though this is just for what you want to obscure. It doesn't make any sense to openly interact with Google or Meta products with all this going on. Use for your socials, anything tied to your name or face, regular vanilla FF with containers for safety. Let G associate that IP/geography and fingerprint with what you HAVE to do publicly visible. Then you close FF, change VPN locations, and open private mode Librewolf. It's full plausible deniability. Or use TOR, same same.

Convenience and security are a trade off. Find the balance that works for you based on your threat model. It's different for everyone.

You can. Librewolf with canvas blocker, turned on in settings, Chameleon, and uBlock and/or(?) JS blocker like NoScript. Edit.

Canvas blocker and a JS blocker limits a lot of what Google can see and fingerprint per page. And you'll be shocked at first how many pages have google trackers that a JS blocker kills. It's easier to turn things on one at a time than claw back data once it's out of your hands.

Chameleon spoofs a lot of other details, like browser, system time, languages, headers, etc. So for what can be seen, it's always changing and harder to corroborate. This plus moving VPN locations is what is needed.

Also, TOR does the job, but not the most fun internet experience.

Yeah, I think that workarounds with o3 is where we're at until Altman figures out that just saying the latest oX mini high is "great at coding" is bad marketing when it can't accomplish the task.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Can confirm. o4 seems objectively far worse at coding than o3, which wasn't super great to begin with. It latches on to a hallucination before anything else and rides it until the wheels come off.

As a vampire, he has to drink the blood of a pontif to remain a daywalker.

He should now sparkle in the sun for another...6-8 weeks before needing to feed again.

OK, well, when that happens you let me know. This is honestly such an unlikely thing.
