Imagine if governments ran like corporations, but with the shareholders being every single American citizen. If the executives don't hit their KPIs, they are removed. If they do hit their KPIs, they are promoted. The Chinese Communist Party does this very well. We need to democratize it to ensure that the shareholders are every single American citizen rather than party and corporate elites. Amongst so many technological, world-changing inventions that iterate on some of our oldest beliefs, yet we haven't iterated on government in hundreds of years. Food for thought.
@sgodofsk Probably because almost every sci-fi genre has an era where Humanity has to survive and win against the “thinking machines” in order to continue advancing. I use AI daily, but I do see the concern about such a powerful tool. Black October is a good example of this as it scales.
@cantfindshirt Net365 is the new Net90. I also love when they expect progress on their order BEFORE signing the contract. I feel like that is the next one to be normalized in the industry. Godspeed soldier. 🫡
@dhh Hey @dhh any talks of hardening Omarchy given the recent bot swarms? Would be cool to have an lockdown mode which takes privacy and security to an OS level. Thanks for the fun btw, loving Omarchy. Windows -> MacOS -> Omarchy.🫡
I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe.
Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development.
• Set 600+ years after the Reaper War
• You play as a customizable N7 agent
• Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond
• Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending
• A galaxy divided into three major factions
• Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together
• Council races forming their own alliance
• The Geth emerging as a third superpower
• A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary
• Geth-built megastructures
• Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda
• Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference
• Hacking and manipulating the environment
• See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more
• Handcrafted missions like ME1-3
• But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them
• Brutal close-range executions
• Squadmates who can clash with each other
• Romance wasn't being sanitised
• Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch
From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist.
It looked incredible.
And now we may never get to play it.

AI/SI and Robotics will become the co-founders of future generational advancements.. and tragedies, as seen in Ukraine. An age where the tools we created can reason for themselves.. and we thought guns killed people. We aren’t ready, but we must be.
@jimstewartson You have no idea what internal tooling they’ve created to create, review, and deploy at that scale. Keep it up though, great engagement bait. 🫡
