Definitely. Academia should exceed Big Tech when it comes to basic research.

But I'm tired so I'm going to stop. 2021-11-29 01:01:43 @nc0we This makes no sense in a world where most ledgers are ultimately running on AWS or equivalent. Nor do I understand what force guarantees such control rights.

But it comes before, not after. 2021-11-29 00:31:08 @Vinncent ESPECIALLY in the context of organized workers 2021-11-29 00:29:02 @Vinncent What is a center anyway Also most ledgers, ultimately, run on AWS et al,,,but 2021-11-29 00:20:41 @zkproofs So this isn't a tech problem at all, but a problem of creating that space where new incentives can flourish? 2021-11-29 00:18:05 @zkproofs This would imply a digital service provider committed to equalizing the power assymetries between "users" and those (themselves) who control the product/system. Which isn't the incentive structure tech firms are working w/in rn. 2021-11-29 00:15:14 Tldr the "problem" with organized labor is that it's been viciously attacked for decades + centuries. Technosolutionism is *at best* a distraction, and one that tbh feels offensive to me and I imagine others who've faced the ire of a firm committed to crushing worker power. 2021-11-29 00:12:15 @ARetVet I understand how cryptographically ensured ledgers work. And I have done some labor organizing. But I am flummoxed by what "put labor organizing on the Blockchain" could mean in practice 2021-11-29 00:06:56 @zkproofs To what problems? Serious question 2021-11-29 00:06:12 Tbh this looks like VC-backed labor/management cooperation that's likelier to result in data capture for union prevention by entities/firms than in worker power and agency. 2021-11-29 00:00:07 Hm.

Specifically, the control this gave the Military to shape research fields, and to punish and marginalize critical and dissenting voices. 2021-11-16 16:56:24 As "AI" became the hot new thing, universities wanted a piece. And getting one was reliant on access to corporate compute and data resources. W/o these you could do work, but you're not gonna beat the benchmark, and tenure, prestige, big NSF grants would be farther out of reach. 2021-11-16 16:56:23 New paper!

I'm an anti-imperialist, and my vision for the future includes anti-imperialist goals. 2021-01-19 17:05:26 @Moonalice @eddiefreshly @FrankPasquale And, tech automates assumptions, it doesn't transcend them. If law enforcement is infiltrated by, or doesn't care about, white supremacist violence, then tech won't change that. 2021-01-19 17:03:42 Also urgently important to connect the above to this.

So there's precedent. Yes, the companies will resistant. Which is why workers organizing for power is so important. 2021-01-19 16:30:20 @IanC_NYC Yes, as should law enforcement and domestic paramilitary, for a number of reasons. 2021-01-19 16:27:38 @mideastXmidwest @Moonalice Thank YOU.
