  • Mb means megabits, kind of like 1 million bits. MB means megabytes, so 1 million bytes, whis is not quite the same, as one byte is 8 bits.

    The numbers seem quite okay actually, which is surprising, since most of the time torrent download speed is also limited by peer upload, or maybe I just remember the old times when that was an issue, it’s been a moment for me.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but if I understand correctly from the steps provided, it was manual data extraction.

    AI was used to “organize data into a neat PDF”, and to later ask the AI whether a brand is okay to use or not, with a PDF that presumably contains “a list of brands to avoid” according to the prompt. This can literally be a Ctrl+f or something similar.

    I’m not going after anyone. Yes, we should be going after corporations, and not only for their environmental footprint, this doesn’t mean we can’t criticize other people.

    Plus, I really agree with the sentiment, as already stated. But, imo, this is not the right way to go.




  • Warlords are able to do that because they already start from a position of power, exploiting others and making them act against their own interests. This is one of the core problems “fixed” by anarchism.

    Does this mean this will never ever ever happen in an anarchist society? No, there will always be threats. But disregarding anarchism entirely just because it can’t fix something that is fundamentally unfixable hardly seems reasonable or fair.
