I love how people are excited about person-to-person Apple Pay payments when literally 70% of America and 85% of the world run Android and therefore it is totally useless unless all your friends are hipsters like you are 👌
"Human beings act in ways that are motivated by economic rationality, and will always seek to maximize profit"
*looks upon millions and millions of words of fan fiction*
friend
your model has something of an explanatory gap
i think more likely than the singularity is a future where AI does not reach awareness or intelligence but does get very good at solving computer problems that humans still must solve
computer programs don't have to be self aware to be really good at writing other programs
in that case it'll be AIs all the way down and nobody will have any fucking clue how it works

"A second question, for the communitarian conception in particular, is how you scale cooperation up without lapsing back into a bureaucratic, alienating and unaccountable system. Thus, the question is how to build decentralized governance systems that give people true voice in the decentralized technology systems."
@vfrmedia @NOiDEa @mattcropp Local cooperative banks (and credit unions too, I think) need to collaborate in order to provide good online and mobile banking. This is something German coop. banks have been doing for decades. As a small credit institution, it's usually impossible to do this on your own.
I just scheduled some vacation time and I wrote that I was planning to kick back and get away from computers to recharge
Then it was kind of funnyweirdsad to me that we use words like "recharge" to talk about our ourselves now

A group of #Twitter shareholders are calling for the company to investigate the feasibility of turning the social media giant into a co-operative.
