“ THE OLD CYPHERPUNK DREAM IS DEAD "Privacy is not a bunker; it's a commons." "Sovereignty is never in isolation; it's always in relation." "We refuse acceleration without direction, optimisation without ethics, and autonomy without care." "We do not merely seek privacy, we seek solidarity." "We reimagine cryptographic tools as instruments of communion, not alienation." "There is no security through insecurity."”

atmospheric computing manifesto is good, but there are so many things it can pull from sapphirepunk, by @wassimulacrum.bsky.social and co., given it’s cryptographic roots. atproto already has good alignment, but lacks the politics sapphirepunk spells out so wonderfully.

For now, the best place to pick up a print copy is directly from the publisher:

Just published: I have a collection of speculative fiction vignettes entitled "Love Language Models" in the first publication by Posthuman Press. Some clippings in this and following tweets.
