Right, I understand that perspective, but there is a way to do this with multi-party computation and some other cryptography where no one would have the actual power/be able to see the data/have control. The main issue is it’s expensive to run and no one would be incentivized to run it.

Not true, there are ways to do this privately with cryptography

If anyone is doing actual work trying to solve this please DM me, I’m interested in helping.

How?

Ya you could definitely do this way too. There is a standard that google came up with called private state tokens that would allow you to do this in a pretty clean way, if you were cool with using your governments portal.

Essentially you would login to the govt portal, they would issue you some limited set of tokens (let’s say 5) that would expire after 30 days. You would go to an age restricted website and sign up and that would “burn” a token.

You could use ZK on top of this to make sure that the same email address or some other “nullifier” piece of information was used, to prevent an 18 yo kid from selling their tokens to 17 yos.

Good point

You definitely can do this with cryptography, it’s a really hard problem, but I worked in this space for a number of years, it’s possible.

From personal experience, I went that route (open source non profit) and it ended up being a shit show, i wouldn’t assume it’s better. I think going the route of just producing things people want to make their life easier is somewhat reasonable. I’ve been having a bit of a time sorting this out myself.

Absolutely not, we really need a fresh pool of candidates, the Democratic elites need to be fired, all of them.

there would most likely be an east and west Bulgaria

You can make a new profile in game and replay 😉

There is another newer open source project called void that’s a cursor clone but with open source models (voideditor.com)

Ya ya, but same with cnc, you have things like backlash and physical control challenges.

Fair, ya even around 10 mil is probably pretty tough with a reasonable cost cnc. I imagine with laser ablation, you’ll probably run into similar issues, you still have to physically move and point the laser, mirrors, or your target base.

I’ve got a little bit of a background in optics and sensors, but diy photolithography still seems pretty challenging, would be interested in following your work if you go down that route.

Any potential paths forward? Desktop cnc?

If he helps bump the gaming industry in a better/healthier direction, he deserves 6 figures imo

We need laws restricting advertising

I want a GTA style HUD at all times 🤪

It probably is
