@eaplmx
> and the potential of decentralized power behind it
The problem though with Web 3.0 (if that's the proper naming) is that is is NOT decentralised at all.
Is it "distributed".
I really do not understand why we collectively keep pushing the hype of "decentralised" and confusing it with "distributed". A Blcokchain (any really) is actually a centralised data structure comprised of a chain of hashes and some "data". A Blockchain + "some fancy networking" (usually Byzantine fault tolerance networking (or some variant thereof) is just another type of "distributed networking" technology.
Then of course tack on top the details of the various cryptocurrencies and "proof of work" vs. "proof of stake", "longest chain wins", etc... (details).
Bottom line. Web 3.0 is NOT decentralized. It is distributed and any data you store on it is _very much_ "centralised" on whatever network you decide to put it on (e.g: IPFS).

@eaplmx I _think_ your last statement is correct. I can't see the sustainability of Web3 in general.

Iβm not one for conspiracy theories, but itβs hard not to think that there is some truth to The Dead Internet Theory, i.e. the belief that the Internet is now empty and devoid of real people, and that everything is just bots talking to bots to generate content and clicks in order to get a share of the all-important and ever-growing advertising revenue5.

@marado GPT-3 summarizes this as:
> The European Parliament has passed a resolution on Artificial Intelligence with a majority of 495 votes in favor, 34 against, and 102 abstentions. The resolution includes many references to the advantages of Free Software and the FSFE is urging the Parliament to transfer its own position into the AI regulation.
Is this accurate? Is there a bit more to this? π€

@slashdot isn't that like asking those same 26 million people to breathe out less carbon dioxide? π€π we do a fairly similar thing here in Brisbane Australia where when I damage dry out we go on water restrictions and your sepically not allowed to do things like water your garden or what you are on. I suppose Texas could and act a similar requirement and restriction and restrict the use of air conditioners? π€
