It is peculiar to see large parts of today's AI vanguard fervently resurrecting the "cognitive architecture" frameworks of the 1970s, a forgotten chapter for many. Will things follow a similar trajectory as Japan's "fifth-generation computing" project toke in the 1980's?

RIP Niklaus Wirth (1934 -2024)
A true giant. He lived just down the road from here. Fondly remember learning Pascal as kid & discovering Wirth's law, which states that software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster. Writeln ('Bye, world')

Technology Tree Control is an age-old strategy which has heavily influenced the evolution of humanity. Through meticulous monitoring and forecasting of pivotal developments in science and engineering, and by securing influence over crucial players and insights, technological progress can effectively be guided and suppressed. This approach is instrumental for the covert development of highly advanced parallel tech trees, shaping the future discreetly yet decisively.

Shadowrun is a 1989 Pen & Paper RPG. In this dark cyberpunk future, AI & tech reign, but magic has made a comeback and dragons, elves & astral journeys are common. In this game, excessive use of tech drains your "Mana" - the life force required for magic. Too much tech is fatal.

Leveraging centralized platforms for hosting ML models/data, which claim independence but are subtly controlled by big tech, is a misguided approach 💩. BitTorrent & P2P nets are useful for genuinely open data and avoiding the pitfalls of hidden man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks
