Hi,
when I found VyOS because I searched for a nice firewalling appliance, I noted your biz model. Well, how shall I put that. Rarely seen something from biz being as ethical as what you guys do.
Well, in another post I kinda told that I’m about to do something which requires a next gen SDN platform VyOS would be a good base for. It’s basically about reinventing how internet is thought. Obviously as human and community oriented edge where biz place is dedicated servicing via specified interfaces requiring qualified trustees (individuals of trust) as certificate authorities who can speak trust to a service after reviewing it having diverse criterias for trust. Kind of a mechanism to supress biz from going wild as we currently can see it happening.
Trustees shall be specialized humans and, since there could be more trustees a person trusts, a democratic control instance. A little peek into what I intend for human swarm interaction you find, when tuxfamiliy comes up again, here https://dory-swarm.org and meanwhile in website sources htdocs/index.html · main · Dory Swarm / Public Dory Swarm Web Site · GitLab.
Why all that? Well, look at facebook, tiktok and co. If you realize what algorithms can do to your brain, for good or worse, you might realize that it is necessary to rethink the focus of algorithms public is exposed to. Or to put it direct, toxic algorithms need to get reliably banned in a democratic way from public space instead of hooking up unprotected and unaware masses in a spiral of endorphin and cortisol rushes.
Since now I also see, that this guy who said something quite smart about AI is actually your boss I get the impression, that this might be the right place to stick for discourse.
So let discourse begin, what’s in your mind after reading this?
