asciilifeform: and not simply a matter of 'no one tried hard enough to piss in our particular soup'
asciilifeform: i will observe that, e.g., new york times front page, has 1,001 new faux-people every morning. whereas here we get 0. and so in principle the problem is tractable.
asciilifeform: let the covertresses live with own kind. and the knuthes - own. etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't grasp the need for a global 'humanity filter.' working wotronics implies that folks will assortively peer by degree of muppetry, and this imho suffices.
asciilifeform: incidentally, less time than it takes to tell man from muppet by playing go (how many folks even play above 1995 computer level ? does mircea_popescu ? )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: now there is a 'complicated' 'let's talk for five minutes'.
asciilifeform: there is no risk of a mechanical mircea_popescutron.
asciilifeform: it works on a narrow and well-defined toy problem.
asciilifeform: i dun see how the go machine relates.
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu's gurl zoo is made of what.
asciilifeform: fact is, enemy has not yet devised a means of making faux people at 0cost.
asciilifeform: which does not have such a thing as 0-cost sybilmaking.
asciilifeform: incidentally what the hell is wrong with 'i won't answer message from $newkey unless an $oldkey vouched for him' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~entire point of wotronics is to eliminate 'field of worms as far as the eye can see in all directions' as a thing of this world.
asciilifeform: quite certainly not. but if he is found worthy by all concentric N circles of L_n wot arount razi, then he is worth testing.
asciilifeform: to get through 10,000,001 enemy meat puppets, the would-be proselyte will have to fight his way through jungle, desert, etc.
asciilifeform: without wot it devolves into a not very funny joke
asciilifeform: Framedragger: iirc nothing further came from this line of thought, to date, it is only interesting as gedankenexperiment.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: for some reason i cannot turn up the thread. but idea was something like a crackpot generalization of the idea of altcoins, i.e. every node can issue obligatory notes, if you will, in whatever qty, and their worth rests wholly on wot graph relations of that node, and strictly to his peers
asciilifeform: i have nfi, trinque , but 'read and understood the complete c stack' is a proposition on the scale of 'built undersea cities and no one noticed.'
asciilifeform: trinque: their bureaucrats sit on winblows. just like in ru or usa. or were you thinking of 'meta-china' hidden beneath the sea somewhere..?
asciilifeform: there is also the fact that making wholly new arch , on new model of computation, is lunacy, of the precise kind that no respectable confucian would contemplate.
