hmm I'm not aware of one beyond general "obstructionism" but that probably is a thing that needs a word

"chain in the sack" is one of my new favourite semi-nonsense phrases
absolutely not the first time I hear something like that, and part of why I don't really like the guy
At the risk of being critical of Zitron
absolutely not a thing to be "at risk of", and a little bit worrying to see someone even worrying about
nah, one of the pillars to make something like it work is by making it zero-cost to implement, to use, and to verify - you advance things by raising the absolute minimum (for everyone) with as little effort cost for others to use
think of e.g. what LetsEncrypt did for https adoption, and signal (and a bit whatsapp when they followed) did for e2e encryption adoption
I’m down with reading books it’s just hard to select them without known reference recommendations

black mirror enhancement: because the algorithms involved may present multiple likely fits to any given input, each output is also considered a conception and given due protection (even if not used)
again, I ask you: please make better posts. you could start by not shooting from the hip about things you know little to nothing about. even better would be asking questions to learn.
nice to see the blinders coming off more widely:
For instance, as Electrek reminds us, in 2016, Elon Musk made a promise. He promised that, by the end of 2017, a Tesla would be able to drive itself from coast to coast. We’re talking Los Angeles to New York, with no human intervention.
That was bulls**t. Listen to any tech CEO nowadays and you will hear nothing but an endless stream of wild proclamations about how so-and-so massive shift will occur within the next 10 years! Five years! One year! Next week!
I am jack’s completely and utterly unsurprised face
