Paris

listening to meredith whittaker, president of the signal foundation, speak on privacy in the age of AI at the american library in /paris tonight

fyi, there's a q&a at the end, if anyone herr has any burning questions

building /quidli 🦑, casting in /justinahn, daoing in /🍊 & /🟪

someone, not me, brought up decentralized systems and then tied in bitcoin as an example 

her stated response is that decentralization alone doesn't mean anything to her and with regard to crypto in general her view is that it's promising but that whales have corrupted initiatives so far, specifically highlighting the winklevoss twins 🤣

Love getting lost in spreadsheets and equations, and then forgetting it all when my guitar begins to howl.

she mentioned "surveillance tech" because her view on blockchain seems to be somewhat pessimistic because it's largely open ledgers

unfortunately if she has farmed UST on anchor, she is not letting on 🤣

but her repeated stated stances are firmly against surveillance tech and silicon valley control

She might be slightly out of the loop. Has she heard of Do Kwon?
