Some hope #left? Which left?

“[…] Cayley’s perspectivist interpretation of Illich shows its main weakness. Since Cayley reads #Illich from the 1990s backwards, he emphasizes the later disillusioned Illich over the more optimistic Illich from the 1970s […]

The optimistic Illich of the 1970s seems more effective. In those years, Illich still believed that not yet industrialized popular cultures and digital technologies could foster new commons. He mentions, for instance, the potential of learning webs [Deschooling, ch 6] as an alternative to formal schooling. People with similar interests could – over the computer, for example – establish study groups for independent research.”

Распределенные сети для инференса ИИ: как это работает, какие технологии есть и когда мы перестанем кормить NVIDIA

Представьте мир, где ваш смартфон не просто запускает нейросеть — он становится частью глобального вычислительного мозга. Мир, где беспилотный автомобиль обрабатывает данные не в далёком облаке, а в динамической сети соседних машин и дорожной инфраструктуры. Мир, где умный завод принимает решения не централизованно, а через коллективный разум тысяч датчиков и роботов, обменивающихся нейронными активациями в реальном времени. Это не сценарий далёкого будущего — это насущная потребность сегодняшнего дня. Пока гиганты ИИ соревнуются в создании всё более крупных моделей с триллионами параметров, реальный мир сталкивается с жестоким парадоксом: самые продвинутые системы искусственного интеллекта оказываются беспомощными там, где они нужнее всего — на периферии, в условиях ограниченной связи, скудной энергии и жёстких требований к задержкам.

An #E2EE messaging app unaffected by #ChatControl

* App: https://chat.positive-intentions.com/
* Code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat
* Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/positive_intentions

How it works: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/projects/chat

TLDR: I'm working on a #P2P messaging #webapp. Webapps are generally not considered secure because of the nature of serving statics over the internet. This is correct, but not a limitation of this project. (#selfhosting options: https://positive-intentions.com/blog/docker-ios-android-desktop).

As a webapp, I can provide the app with zero-installation and no-registration. The app is only using (local-only) browser storage (specifically #indexedDB). So in a P2P interaction, the traditional concept of "the cloud" is just the physical devices connected over #WebRTC. This allows for things like P2P authentication: https://positive-intentions.com/blog/security-privacy-authentication.

Future:
I'm aiming to create the most secure messaging app out there... (more than #Signal, #Simplex, #threema, #session, #deltachat, #bitchat, etc). I know I have a long way to go to get there. The UI is fairly ugly for the average user, but I think the mechanics are working as expected. I think #JavaScript is underrated in what you can do with it. I'm actively investigating improving the #encryption approach further to align to how the Signal protocol works (currently using a #DiffieHellman key-exchange).

Support:
In the age of #ChatControl, I would like to keep this project #opensource, but open-source funding is not working for me. I don't want your donations (but don't let that stop you) because it isn't sustainable for a long-term project. I have so far only experienced grant-funding rejections. I have no idea what I'm doing in trying to get funding for this project, so any support/advice is appreciated. In recognition of the project in its current state not being able to get funding... (sorry) I will have to go #closedsource (which I'd like to avoid because it undermines several #cybersecurity claims I'd like to make). I don't accept collaboration on the project because this would make tough decisions like going closed-source also immoral.
