I'm building a decentralized self-describing graph dataformat 'InstructionGraph'. Basically; you start reading at the root object, which describes the format, and the root node point to other things (such as elemental types, application lists, instructions on how to install, etc.) that all contain their own instructions, potentially point to other things, etc. Every node has an author, identities are pubkeys, each object is cryptographically signed by its author.

So the data-format is designed to be transmitted by any means possible, definitely not only IP networks. Could be QR codes stuck to a wall if you wanted.

In the current implementation the data can be transported over a rest-api. Since the graph contains web-pages as well, the applications that use this 'database' just live in the database itself.

See: https://dataverse001.net/ - Also have a look at my long-read about this.

I'd have to say though;

For me personally, Cypherpunk is more about *control* than privacy.

This is also mostly true for cryptocurrency. Privacy in bitcoin is dependent on me never revealing which addresses belong to me. As soon as I convert it to fiat, it's actually significantly less private then paying with a visa card or whatever.

However, bitcoin is *mine*. I'm in control. No company gets to decide whether I have access to my wallet. Nobody is going to deny me access to my data by going bankrupt or by being pressured by a government.

Social media where your data is open, rather than being siloed into some corporate database. Social media that can't be taken away from you.

In computer security it's always been a mortal sin to interpret data as instructions.

With LLMs, any type of external data you feed it can be interpreted by the LLM as instructions. You *don't* want external data being fed to your LLM outside of your control.
I tried running it in isolated environments, but it doesn't actually *do* anything without access to your whatsapp, email, etc.

Friends with a higher tolerance for catastrophe than me; They love it. They tell me that it allows them to automate parts of their lives.
