> It's hard to be brave when By definition, the only time it's possible to be brave is when it's hard.
But there is "putting your own at risk" and "putting your family at risk".

IBM's solutions are so ancient they are no longer considered technology.
Quantum computers, cutting edge crypto, cutting edge physical reseach just to name a few? I think we are pretty much at the forefront of a lot of things. disclaimer: I work at IBM Research but this is my own opinion.
BWAHAHAHA! Nothing about that program had any redeeming quality, the fact that everything was based on solidity was enough to confirm this: I knew IBM would be split into 2 companies when the upper brass refused to wise up to the obvious scams like ETH and eventually with Stellar. So much is put behind short term gains selling Z mainframes and empty promises of Watson for everything that nothing gets left over for anything actually innovative.
Tell me, for all the anti BTC propaganda in the training and talking points, it must really have humbled a few people and hopefully got enough people fired to see that the SEC and even Blackrock ended up on our side and not yours.
Instead all IBM has is a place amongst all the other s** coins no one uses with nearly no utility/volume or value to speak of [0]: whereas BTC keeps breaking hashrate ATH.
You guys really dropped the ball on this one, and to be honest the fact that it's a bunch of dinosaurs running that place made it apparent it was never going to live up to it's promise: I just wished the rank and file had taken more effort to make this happen, some of us did try, as so many corps IBM services were willing to pilot-test this tech.
I hate being this crass, I really do, but seriously you guys really screwed this one up.

You 're probably in tech so you already know. But the public isn't even aware how easy it is to e.g. copy someone's voice with AI. The mainstream news are uninterested
> But the public isn't even aware how easy it is to e.g. copy someone's voice with AI. I always demo it where people are open to it, I show them how it can used to steal their banking data (that has been the case already for many years), explain how everything they do is tracked (to those a little bit savy i show them the "hidden" tracking pixels here and there), I demo how people can talk about certain topics or sea…
So cabals of people in secret dark chambers?

I don't recall people holding daily standups in dark chambers. Perhaps in a dark pub but there's nothing secret about it.

the logical endpoint of that is some crazy guy shooting up a pizza place, not civil society taking back control of technology pointed at them. Ever played the original Deus Ex? There's a reason Musk on his Bob Page arc loves to stoke conspiracy nonsense and it isn't because it produces effective, rational governance reigning powerful people in
> the logical endpoint of that is some crazy guy shooting up a pizza place That's the likely outcome if people are lead towards that outcome and if that's the only given option. And so far the only voices that validate their concerns are those that would benefit from such outcomes. Those that want a "better world" are too busy berrating those that have genuine concerns and as a result the only people they can take re…
Each cell acts as its own social media platform similar to how Mastodon works. The primary differences are: A. Cells are centralized on the platform, not federated. Makes it easier for users. B. Cells are dynamic. People can make cells, merge cells, split cells. If 50 percent of people in the R++ cell want to be more racist, they can vote to split and be moved to another cell. C. Cells are relative i.e. they exist on a map, people can compare their cell to others, any cell that exists is public and can be related to another cell.
Then provide tools for organization and communication, provide tools for policing and enforcing cell dogma, and then provide the tools to allow for fundraising of whatever causes the cell deems just. Add competition between other cells. Allow it to be integrated with other social media. Make it go viral.
Powerful populist movements have been built on solidarity. This is impossible in current social media which fragments political blocs creating detractors of every belief in every comment section. Remove the detractors and you have progress, radicalization. Thoughts?

If you’re referring to Iran then they’re Persian not Arab.
The Arab world refers to the Islamic countries in the Middle East I believe. Not any specific country
