I’m generally pro-market/capitalist but for different reasons than libertarian idealists who think the market will magically fulfill a function like weather service or environment more “efficiently.” Which means I’m pro-state in more cases, and *different* cases.

This is what the crypto version of pothole sensor would look like. Any vehicle with a phone + camera surveys street quality and gets paid for their data exhaust. Government fixes streets that are on crappy quality glide slopes. https://streamr.network/ has some good concepts.

But net-positive or net-negative? Same tools and sensors are weaponized against repressive states.

This is super interesting!! What are your thoughts on when sensors still aren't enough? Both policing and say, water in flint, both have trouble being challenged by lots of sensors

Yeah it’s necessary not sufficient No idea where to go past that but it’s a starting point

Essentially, this is a special case of "sunshine makes the best disinfectant". As the world becomes more computable, we're better able to understand the BS going on around us. I'm unsure if democracies are more atuned to info transparency, unlike say behind the Great Firewall.

Though I've wondered if ubiquitous nano satellite internet sans filtering might be a huge threat to China and similar regimes. Especially with software defined radio / spread spectrum tech would be hard to jam en masse.

Cynically, I imagine that once sensing is easy, the contested territory will be in computation and information processing. Sensed data that's not analyzed is hidden. Sowing FUD with competing analyses would likely be the layer after.
