they don't want civilians to be able to resist their systems being compromised?? idk, what would an evil tyrannical government want? it's probably that!
@bayeslord It's a bureaucracy and its interest is to produce more bureaucracy.
@bayeslord Is this a trick question?
Encryption was classified as munitions decades ago.
Anything that gives them power that others can't resist is obviously preferred.
@bayeslord Whether the NSA likes it or not people will eventually realize the path to a systemically secure internet is by physically constraining sensitive or safety critical control signals sent over cyberspace.
Physical constraints are the key, not well designed encoded logic.
@bayeslord They want the NSA to have more secure systems...
@bayeslord They’re not funded
@bayeslord what a sweet thought -- i'm going to make this easier to consume, babe.
@bayeslord You don’t get it. Or are you starting to get it…
@DanielleFong i read that as a joke/sarcasm
@wedrifid @bayeslord didnt Bernstein v u.s. substantially revise the "munitions" classification in 99?
@DanielleFong Yeah... Since AI is on air... Doesnt matter.. they swallow hell virus..
Lol @DanielleFong
