“we should not build a means to silently monitor billions of private conversations just because we could.”
We cannot take end-to-end encryption for granted. There remains serious pressure to take it away. wired.trib.al/B9TNi3p
”The physics of cyberspace are wholly different from every other war domain.” Indeed.
Subscriber exclusive: On June 27, 2017, a single piece of code racked up more than $10 billion in damages—crippling ports, paralyzing corporations, and freezing government agencies.

“There were a few episodes they didn’t want on their platform,” Rogan said, per DMN. “And I was like, ‘OK, I don’t care.'” Which reminds me of @IggyPop comment on the commercial use of his songs: “that’s not how they were conceived” but still #JimMorrison not happy #lightmyfire
Another great piece from @WIRED. “if the human ear can naturally separate the sounds of instruments from one another, it should also be possible to model that same separation by machine.” It will be! #ai wired.com/story/upmixing-aud…
Also: “Some 16-year-old making hip hop records on a PlayStation is going to figure out some genius use of this thing and create a sound world we've never heard before.” It’s inevitable! 👍👊💥🚀 ping @TouristInSpace
