When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

"If you were a product person at IBM or Xerox, so you make a better copier or computer. So what? When you have monopoly market share, the company's not any more successful.
So the people that can make the company more successful are sales and marketing people, and they end up running the companies. And the product people get driven out of the decision-making forums, and the companies forget what it means to make great products. The product sensibility and the product genius that brought them to that monopolistic position gets rotted out by people running these companies that have no conception of a good product versus a bad product."

GCVE: Global CVE Allocation System
The Global CVE (GCVE) allocation system is a new, decentralized approach to vulnerability identification and numbering, designed to improve flexibility, scalability, and autonomy for participating entities.
While remaining compatible with the traditional CVE system, GCVE introduces GCVE Numbering Authorities (GNAs). GNAs are independent entities that can allocate identifiers without relying on a centralised block distribution system or rigid policy enforcement.

I've identified a way of scaling up human-level general intelligence for much less than the hundreds of billions of dollars OpenAI claim to need to spend.
It's called nursery education and free school meals. It takes about 18 years to take full effect, but if you start now it'll overtake LLMs in usefulness within 1 year.
