Last I heard, Snowden is still scapegoated, and nobody from the NSA has been held accountable, or anyone inside any of these other 3 letter government agencies...
hREA is aimed at creating a radically inclusive supply chain system. It is fully open source and being developed here: https://github.com/holo-rea/holo-rea
This is a fun intro: http://mikorizal.org/futures.html
At the end of last year, I was doing all my last minute charitable giving, and after my PSF donation, I wanted to donate to open source projects. I opened up Github's sponsor page, and stopped there. There were thousands of projects, but I have no idea which ones are important to me, other than a few big ones.
It would be great if a tool existed that would look at everything I've installed via Brew(or your package manager of choice) and all the imports in my own Github projects, and follow all the dependency paths to the bottom, and then give me a report of how often a dependency shows up in that graph.
For example, I know ffmpeg is at the bottom of a few of my stacks. But what else? There might be a library that I rely on 12 different ways, but it's so fundamental and deep in the stack that I have no idea.
It would be even better if this magical tool could then directly link me to the support page (or figure out if one even exists).
My other problem with all of these open source sponsorships is that it seems for some reason none of them support one time donations. They all want me to sign up for a monthly gift (and I don't even get to chose the amount). I understand that that helps their cash flow, but that's now how I donate. I look at my income at the end of the year, set a target percentage, and then make all my donations at the end of December until I run out of budget (except for various fundraisers during the year).
And I know I'm not the only one who donates that way. December is always the biggest month of gifts for charity. They really should have an option for people like me.
It scans your dependency file (e.g. Gemfile in Rails).
I don't think that's gonna happen. And if it did, it wouldn't be real, and those that think it is are fooling themselves. Only biological organisms feel. Why are you wishing for a cold lump of steel to feel something?
In my mind only someone who struggles severely with emotional intimacy with other humans would want to create a machine that tries to imitate human feelings, and thus ‘suffer’; likely done in an effort to try to feel close to 'it'. It sounds like that person might not be having their human needs for safety, connection and acceptance met, which is very painful. I think tackling this issue is the important and worthy cause. That would be better than spending money on some Hollywood-inspired notion of 'AI' - which itself seems more a story made up to keep the USA spending insane sums of taxpayer money on research, weapons and other tech at DARPA.
I do think society is super alienating to most humans in it's current form [1], so I can somewhat understand the science fiction.
What is your definition of suffering though?
So basically a (soon to be VC funded) Uber-like gig economy delivery app for renting books? For $7 it's a service only for the rich, while also putting gig workers at risk.
I'm not saying it's a terrible idea, I'm just tired of seeing another rentierist middleman app that dresses up a simple protocol and exploits the working class.
"Exploitation, now available from your local library!"
Damn, are we really gonna anthropomorphize AI when it's the cause of so much misery already? [1]

Is the Internet contributing to the good in their lives? A report recently that found children who play social online games and connect with friends online while locked down have better mental health than those that don't.
