Just inject it directly into the brain smh

Remember when OpenAI pinky promised to not use their technology for war? How they said that they couldn’t release their model for fear it would be used by militaries? They are morally bankrupt far beyond redemption.

That said, many mammals DO have a baculum, such as gorillas, chimpanzees, dogs, raccoons, hedgehogs, bats, and many more.

Well yeah, and if more people did that we wouldn’t be dealing with nearly as many problems as we currently are.

I don’t think tentacles HAVE bones…

Oh no, that sounds terrible! Now let’s both take the BDSM Test to make sure we know what other kinks to steer clear of.

This evidence is certainly in contrast to those who believe, based on the writings of Charles Dickens alone, that the Earth is around 4.5 billion years old.

🤣 this writer is genius

Woah woah woah, I said nothing about blockchain. That would almost certainly be the wrong, overly complex solution. The systems that exist for cryptographic voting do hit ALL your points while having the additional benefit of being perfectly auditable.

Cryptography is a much larger field than blockchain, and people use it for trusted communication every day.

That’s the whole point of crypto though, you publish the mathematically verifiable results, and everyone becomes a vote counter. Instead of trusting a small group of people to do it right, you can verify the counts yourself in a trustless system.

The algorithm isn’t a black box like you’re saying, it’s fully auditable and decentralized so any fuckery is immediately visible.

Now maybe I’m wrong and a mathematically verifiable algorithm can’t exist, but to my knowledge that’s never been shown to be the case.

Edit: turns out there are MANY such systems, and they are mathematically verifiable, and used in actual use cases today. The only thing stopping it is lack of political will, and arguably, the fact that even people without computers have the right to vote.

You do not have to trust the software. You could do that math for yourself if you really cared.

Surely there is a cryptographic way to count votes where someone can check that the results are correct but not how individuals voted, right?

I love the iconic Far Side glasses on the mother bird.

Well I mean, slavery is still illegal. Black people are able to vote, hold office, own property, etc.

There’s still a lot of social injustice to solve but there’s been a lot of progress, albeit slow.
