I'd put the biggest blame on "science" there .. because they're the ones blurting out "we're just constantly looking for truth" the loudest and receiving lots of unearned trust still.

The people who trust the mainstream media are getting fewer. And who nowadays really trusts politics and politicians not to fuck things up with run-up and greedy intentions?

> .. he [Putin] doesn't care about anything other than himself .. he has no sense of responsibility, no sense of empathy, no sense of national interest whatsoever .. it's purely about himself .. and that's the big misunderstanding in the west .. that we have a guy who .. I mean, almost nobody else is like that .. I mean, Hitler was like that, Stalin was like that, you know, Pol Pot was like that, but .. it's kind of hard for us to image in our own heads someone being like that in the modern day ..

Well .. now if you _don't_ think this description matches a quite large fraction of top politicians worldwide, including the west .. then I don't know how you do it .. skip the "news" alltogether?

> .. let's give diplomacy a chance. .. There is no diplomacy .. Putin has no .. they don't do diplomacy in Russia ..

> .. there's the dictator and the dictatee, like that's how it works .. and there's no compromise, noone ever compromises in Russia ..

> .. right now the European Union they're fighting among themselves .. "who should negotiate with Putin?" .. nobody should negotiate with Putin, cus the only way that Putin is gonna stop is if he's stopped ..

🤔
Well, probably also depends on how one defines the term diplomacy.

But in any case these sentences make me think: "Aha, now here's the overt propaganda at last."

Where stat?

Und nimmst die Index-Miete mit? 🥴

"Art" installation?

Those servers that answer AI _prompts_ yes, they can't really be used for demand response.

But those capacities that are used for training models .. I'd guess they can be used somewhat flexibly .. at least over a time period of say 72 hours.

The EU is probably going to push _AI_ for demand response / grid stabilisation instead of Bitcoin 🤷‍♂️

See here:

The only thing that'd help would be enough rich people using GrapheneOS and thus putting pressure on large corps like VW because they would loose valuable customers.

Depends a LOT upon regulation by EU and states, if this can take off soon.

Would be hardly surprising if EU commission/parliament were to shoot Bitcoin mining as demand response mechanism in the foot by ruling the same old: "Bitcoin is nonproductive waste of energy and harmful to the environment, therefore it's not a legit technology.".

IMO the grid stability pain will have to get MUCH worse than it is now for politicians to reconsider their opinion.

Wouldn't have thought it's that easy 🤔 .. just use and don't tell ..

Has been my opinion for a few years now: #complexity is a root cause of many of today's problems in the world.

Complexity prevents individuals aka regular people from understanding things and thus making decisions in their own best interest.

(Large) organisations/companies/states have more resources to handle complexity so complexity tilts the balance of power away from the individual and towards the organisations.

Keeping technology/laws/rules/systems as simple as possible has the benefit of these things being better understood by the average Joe.

--> Reduce complexity!
