    Our readingAny digital identification system built for AI must preserve anonymous human speech, without which there is no genuine freedom of expression.

    Their wordsBut a society that does not have anonymous speech does not really have genuine freedom of expression, and we should embed this principle into any digital identification system we attempt.

    Our readingExperts on the governance of superintelligence systematically self-censored about serious AI risk to avoid being labelled doomers.

    Their wordsSo many of the people who think about the governance of superintelligence, myself included, avoided that unpleasantness and bowed to the social pressure to self-censor.

    Our readingEnforcing equality against biology and markets requires censorship and violence, which makes the project immoral whatever its moral claim.

    Their wordsThe left is on a project to enforce equality, despite biology and markets. The goal of equality gives claim to the moral high ground, but contradicting biology and markets requires censorship and violence, which makes the whole project immoral.

    Our readingGovernment is people with goals, so it grows by nature; there must be very strict limits on how far it can expand its power at the expense of citizens.

    Their wordsThat's how you end up in an endless loop of ever-increasing taxes, ever-increasing regulation, which ultimately suffocates free market, free enterprise, and free speech. So, you do want to have very, very strict limitations on the extent the government can increase its powers at the expense of citizens.

    Our readingThe French investigation of him should never have been started; a criminal case is the wrong tool for regulating social media.

    Their wordsThe investigation itself should have never been started. It's an absurd and harmful way of solving an issue such as complicated as regulating social media. It is just the wrong tool.

    Our readingHe would rather lose everything than yield to government pressure to block channels, because submitting to something fundamentally wrong breaks a person inside.

    Their wordsAnd I would rather lose everything I have than yield to this pressure because, if you submit to this pressure and agree with something that is fundamentally wrong and violates rights of other people as well, you become broken inside, you become a shell of your former self on a deep biological and spiritual level.

    Our readingArresting Pavel Durov was a historic wrong and a gigantic PR mistake that will keep founders from building in France.

    Their wordsI think this situation, this historic wrong that’s been done is, put simply, is just a gigantic PR mistake for France. There’s no entrepreneur that sees, that aspires to be the next Pavel Durov to create the next Telegram, sees this and wants to operate in France after seeing this.
