Thx @14prinsp

Finally read #Cyberlibertarianism by David Golumbia and tbh I'm a little underwhelmed.

Seems like he thinks there's no legitimate criticism of the state and current democratic systems from a leftist point of view? Mass surveillance is fine since it's signed off by governments and if you think ..

Literally stopped that episode and stared into space. Also just bought the late David Golumbia's book #Cyberlibertarianism. The #bailout concept is going to haunt me as I read it.

I just bought #Cyberlibertarianism by the late David Galumbis as well as @adriandaub.bsky.social's book on the Cancel Culture Panic.

Going to balance it out with "Ring Shout" by @pdjeliclark.bsky.social. Might also get some Le Guin from the library.

Also tossing in the argument by David Golumbia (RIP!) in his book #Cyberlibertarianism how tech oligarchs insist that there are different (or no) rules for digital technology, essentially thwarting any democratic control

And how this often hides behind the smoke screen of #digitalrights

So if you are wondering what the Open Source Initiative is keeping itself busy with:

Ensuring that AI regulation cannot add "acceptable use policies". So we cannot ban AI use for harmful purposes by license because OSI wants their licenses to be pure.

Ensuring Open Source AI thrives under the EU’s new AI rules – Open Source Initiative The Open Source Initiative is doing … something again, now it’s working against regulation protecting people from certain uses of AI systems: In particular, previous drafts of the Code of Practice mandated acceptable use policies, and a prohibition of certain uses of the AI system.

Got to love the way US liberals stumble on things that are now obvious, and treat them as amazing new discoveries. The wailing and gnashing of teeth about "cyberlibertarianism";
