I need to read this but I like to guess when I haven't.

The question is why? What was different?

For one thing. Kings! No illusion of democracy. No "We the People" are the government... so no we can't steal from ourselves.

Hoppe nails this in Democracy the God that Failed.

AI may very well break the whole IP thing apart. Although, if logic were actually in play instead of money and power it would already be dead.

The root problem is taxation, freebies, and public property instead of private property. Also the enfringement of freedom of association. Thing is, we never discuss the base issues at play. It's all surface level. If a state has the monopoly of violence they should at seek to protect the rights of their subjects. Yet, they don't.

The cost of taking the word of authority figures. This is why "do your own research" needs to be a meme we wear out again.

Ignorance will cost them. It's easy to ignorant. I'd say we have a massive number that are willfully ignorant.

This is what always annoys me. Both sides in US politics can be right when calling out the grift of the other side. This is grift. Selling influence for sure. But it's also been a part of US politics for a long time. Neither side has any credibility and the vast majority of political commentary is laughably hypocritical.

It might be worth looking at something like Docling. We built a proof of concept AI chatbot a while back that used this OCR tool to pull the text out of the PDFs we have. Converting to plain text first is going to give much better results in the chatbot.

I've been stuck in airports because of delays so many times. I usually have connecting flights so I always want to get there early.

Cool, my guess is they just over-expanded. Its so common for companies like this to do and then right-size. Starbucks feels like it has reached saturation to me.

Sounds like an opportunity for a good local coffee shop.

lol. 5-6 hours. Depends on the airport.

Ok... I joined. I give up.

Yep

Of course :) Sparrow is underated. Such a great tool.

Thanks!

Never really thought about doing this before. Do you have a guide on this? :)

That's a good point about forks.

10 years. I would do it longer if that were an option. Especially for my heirs

Totally. He looks like he's up to something too.

Memes are ancient too. I didn't mean to blame memes but rather modernity.

What always annoys me is how media gobbles up this garbage no matter the administration. We do get more skepticism now because so many hate Trump but its really pathetic. On top of that, anything tech related the media absolutely does not get.
