They are different things perhaps? Fibers imply strict cooperative behaviour; I have to explicitly “yield” to give the other fibers a go, green threads are just runtime managed threads?

TIL that bumblebees actually can sting. Not only can they sting, they can sting repeatedly (unlike the honey bee). They just choose not to.

Genteel bees.

We need some human based version of “proof of work”.

Yes. We are this generations highly skilled artisans, facing our own industrial revolution.

Just as the skilled textile workers and weavers of early 19’th century Britain were correct when they argued this new automated product was vastly inferior, it matters not at all. And just as they were also correct, that the government of the day was doing nothing to protect the lives and livelihoods of those who had spent decades mastering a difficult set of professional skills (the middle class of the day), the government of this day will also do nothing.

And it doesn’t end with “IT”; anything that can be turned into a factory process with our new “thinking engines” will be. Perhaps we can do better in society this time around. I am not hopeful.

The way they justify everything in the modern time.

“The strong do what they will. The weak suffer what they must.”

If you are in the US, pray that you are never weak.
