A little backstory to Korea's political scene: left leaning political power has come to power , similar to UK's Starmer, and have started implementing draconian surveillance laws.
There's almost no real opposition to stop these type of insane laws that violate individual freedoms. Expect more weirdness out of Korea
He's a twonk and Britain is essentially a police state at this point. The American Revolutionary War was fought over far less than what is going on right now.
British people won’t like to hear it, but I have long suspected that a generic traits of bravery and courage were drastically reduced from men in Europe in WWII to an extend that we’re just seeing effects of now.
UK, France, Germany etc were mortally wounded in WWII.
Traditional labels are becoming useless anyway, liberal can mean anything from libertarian free market enjoyer to radical progressive depending on who you are talking to. And I am talking about self-identified labels!
You also have many right wingers (internationally) moving towards things like industrial policy, subsidies, and a populist labor focus (coupled with anti-immigration rhetoric of course). In some cases, even nationalization is under discussion. It’s a wild time to try and label things.
No traditional media talk about this as much as it should be. No one seems to care but the always-angry, chronically online. I had no high hopes for free internet in this country but it's getting worse than I've ever imagined.
Minority Report wasn't supposed to be an instruction manual ffs.
Also, will the AI curtail artistic activity? Things it doesn't recognize? We had watchdogs on personal expression before, one of the outcomes was "degenerate art" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_art]

Starmer is about as left headed as a straight line railway across Australia. Corbyn was left (maybe).

Even if you consider that page biased in whatever way - it's still useful for comparisons on the same scale. E.g. https://www.politicalcompass.org/norway2025
Starmer is not left-leaning, he's a liberal (and supports austerity). People should learn the difference between the left, the right and liberalism.

A better axis is libertarian-authoritarian, because the "left" and the "right" aren't inherently either.
at this point I don't get bogged down in the details. They're all just different masks for authoritarianism.
Are crooks called liberals these days?

Forcing CUDA and guiding for Ubuntu 18.04 (FYI, EOS was 2023). Do they really think single Quadro GPU server can handle heavy traffics in real-time?
It’s insane to mandate the specific vendor used. This reads like a backroom deal was reached. Or gross incompetence.
South Korea has history, for years their banking applications required ActiveX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_compatibility_issues_in_So...
Gross not giving a damn
The future is self hosted private invite only communities of vetted real life humans, likely done in person.
And when you need longer reach than that?
A “I vouch for this person” system?
The catholic church fought the printing press for hundreds of years. Lets see how long our rulers fight the internet.
The printing press was very much an invention /not/ at the disposal of the citizens. It analogizes poorly to the Internet.
It's far worse.
They have stock in nvidia
