This is a remarkably specific and disturbing fact. Thank you for sharing.

It does make you wonder what caused spinal injury in these mice. I do not suppose there is a sufficient natural supply of these kinds of injured mice.

But, if not animal testing, how do you propose to develop the treatment?

They certainly do. They undermine HTTP too. And would have done much more harm if the Web was not founded with a different governance model.

EU actions like that in the title post stress this original, less centralized, model. It was naive to assume that free internet will remain free if left alone.

Paradoxically, preserving freedom relies on constraints and regulations.

You still, presumably, use HTTP for your internet needs, even though facebook totally works over it.

What's the problem with a protocol for chat?

there is not almost any attempt to organize public participation. Except maybe admin posts with discussions in comments. Also users can vote with their feet.

I agree that the admin instinct is mostly honest and democratic and they should be regarded for their work. But the instance governance is mostly autocratic. And this kind of structure usually devolves in despotism, since power corrupts.

Would be nice to see an institution-based instance, with a constitution, elections, balance of power. Would be a great social experiment!

This is really interesting, also in comparison to governance of "traditional" social networks.

I would not be surprised if someone did scientific research about it.

An interesting difference is no need to fight for land and resources, anyone can go and create another microstate.

Still, there is some benefit of larger states, they can resist spam better. But as much as they implement spam filters in the code, smaller instances can them. Political benefits of open source are real.

It's just going to be other bots fighting the little flying ones. Little air defence, or other flying bots. This technology is another next step in warfare for sure, but it is not unstoppable like the video shows.

Drones and AI is the new shape of the arms race.

Big states will be ahead like with other tech. US Senate will be safe.

Another way is to restrict and regulate the technology. Luckily the chip manufacturing is not something which a small group can do in their backyard. Right now the chips can make their way anywhere despite sanctions but sanction implementation is being improved.

I guess they broke their engine! /s

smaller pieces which fell off are hard to track while their effect on the trajectory might still be substantial. Small change to the orbit early on makes a big difference after a while.

As of now, accounts of their instance have thousands of followers.

Yeah, the whole idea of open web democratizing knowledge empowers similarly learning of people and learning of AI. For the same reasons. Blocking and fragmenting this powerful space is reactionary, I think ownership of AI is a bigger issue.
