A decentralised network has to be 100% decentralised and open to everyone participating with any device. It also does not and should not need to store all the world's data, but it should aspire to store 100% of the world knowledge and secure individual's thoughts and dreams.

In EU/UK it seems you can get grant funding for robotics, BUT ONLY if they can possibly lay bricks on a construction site!! I don't like the anti EU/UK propaganda on this platform, but it's hard to defend such backwards and slow funding. The public sector is just decades behind

So everyone's feeling that dread, right? Like we're just passengers watching the tech apocalypse unfold. AI eating jobs. Governments claiming our identities. Big Tech subsuming... well, everything. But here's the thing...
