Better Living through Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)

 Quantum cryptography has emerged as a radical research field aimed at mitigating various security threats in modern communication systems. 

The integration of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) protocols plays a crucial role in enhancing security measures, addressing previously inaccessible threats, and improving cryptographic efficiency. Key research areas in quantum cryptography include Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), eavesdropping detection, QSDC, security analysis of QKD protocols, post-quantum cryptography, Quantum Network Security & Intrusion Detection, Quantum-secure communication beyond QKD, quantum random number generation, Quantum Secure Multi-Party Computation (QSMPC), Quantum Homomorphic Encryption (QHE), and privacy-preserving computation. QML algorithms improve the key generation of QKD, by improving quantum state selection and reducing measurements. 

This also allows them to increase efficiency because it identifies trends in errors and applies corrections, making quantum cryptography a more dependable option . . . "

Strong AI enhances both security and privacy

 And the wicked flee though none pursue

The intersection of AI and quantum PKI is more than a tech trend—it’s a paradigm shift. By layering intelligence into decentralized systems, we're not just building smarter applications; we're creating a decentralized internet that is adaptive, secure, and accessible.

The Ironic Chancellor

 

I find it tremendously ironic that the invention of the welfare state, ostensibly to help those in need, has effectively destroyed our sense of community duty and care for our neighbors.

It’s allowed us to convince ourselves that it’s “not our job” to look after each other like we used to.

 Putin Reinforces Local Currency Dominance in Sino-Russian Trade: Dollar a ‘Statistical Discrepancy’

Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that most of the trade between the two countries is settled using yuan and ruble-based payments, leaving the dollar...all at sea.  Adrift.

" The Internet first appeared as a special CIA project, and this is how it's developing," - Russian KGB agent. Vladimir Putin

"[Bitcoins] are backed by nothing. This money [is backed by nothing], that's the point, this is the major problem. They are not really linked to anything and backed by nothing", Putin has said

Marked for death

 A group of six masked people vandalized the Southeast Madison Street office of the coworking space Kiln at about 6:45 pm on Thursday, in full view of diners at nearby restaurants and food carts. Flyers left behind at Kiln’s office suggested Kiln was targeted for hosting an artificial intelligence networking event.

The Utah-based coworking company’s Portland clients include AI-related groups like AI Portland, a social organization that gathers tech workers and enthusiasts, and regularly holds meet-ups at Kiln’s Southeast Portland space. The incident appears to coincide with AI Portland’s Summer Soiree event held last night. The networking event, which began at 6 pm, was organized for AI professionals and fans to nerd out over data and algorithms.

Untraceable and lethal

 https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/sep/01/australia-gun-control-laws-3d-printed-firearms-ntwnfb

The gun had been made by an associate with a 3D printer, according to court documents. It was untraceable and lethal, and part of a trend that experts say threatens to fundamentally upend Australia’s world-leading gun controls

 the 3D-printed gun world has become a “social movement”.

The Urutau and other models, including perhaps the most infamous 3D-printed firearm, the FGC-9 – or “Fuck Gun Control” – emerge from online communities that share information and promote the creation of weapons both as a means to push the boundaries of science and, according to some designers, “permanently undermine global firearm prohibition”.

The No-State solution mansplained

 This is so simple.  Just get me a crowbar, hammer, fencing-wire and duct-tape.

The label APARTHEID state must stick to Israel.  It hasn't taken yet. More work needs to be done.

Then there's the killer blow.  No Virgina.  We don't call it a Narcissists state .  We outlaw all religious states. 

Secularism becomes a baseline. Along with representative democracy. Strong AI can handle most of this. 

Even today's LLM's could handle this.  Its political economy - not quantum gravity!

Imagine all the people - living their lives in peace.  Zolgo make it so.  But in such a way we think we did it. 

Living with a hernia

 How then to break free of the cage within which we live? 

By no longer conflating myopic worldview for cosmic purview, as in Schopenhauer’s lament that ‘every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.’ 

No longer expecting predictability or periodicity, rhyme or reason. 

No longer abhorring the ‘cataclysm upstream’, but warming to its embrace. No longer conflating the morale of a story with the moral of a story. 

No longer rejoicing in civilisation so-called, but warming to its ever-tenuous and ever-contingent enmeshment in cosmic forces impervious to prisons, no matter how impenetrable a tyrant’s rampart. 

Whether viewed through a literary or scientific worldview, a civilisation unmasked as a hollow conceit against cosmic vicissitudes reveals something arising in its stead: a meek purview for equanimity between being and becoming petrified. And, therein, a re-worlded worldview, premised not only in being alive during a rupture of life on earth, but actually being alive to rupture itself. 

The hunt for Black October

No sun — no moon! No morn — no noon — No dawn — no dusk — no proper time of day.   No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member — No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! — November!

Yellowgate

 I don’t have an opinion. It could be anything – volcanic activity or it could be nuclear war. It is not really important. The whole thing now is, what do you do? The last time the caldera in Yellowstone blew, the entire North American continent was under about a foot of ash. People who’ve gone diving in Yellowstone lake say that there is a bulge in the floor that is now about 100 feet high and the whole thing is just sort of pulsing. From different people, you get different answers, but it could go in another three to four thousand years or it could go on Thursday…

In our journey down The Road we are not meant to know when it terminates, just as we can never know which umpteenth layer of the World Turtle will yield an answer to whether Yellowstone’s next supervolcano eruption is a few days or a few millennia away.
