I agree that there is a need for the real human to human interaction, but the best way to do that is to go outside where humans are, not try to develop secret human handshakes on the web.
It's all in the language. What is a ring? It is clearly a 2D geometry as there are just heads and tails, and no fan-in or fan-out. Adding thise mechanisms would lead to neurons which could start doing AI. GAWD FORBID!
i don't understand how this is supposed to be better than a regular webring.
He says it's meant for small tightly-knit groups, but i can only imagine the technological enforcement of trust and identity being necessary in large groups that'll let anyone in
Its gonna fail. Early web won because of simple protocols (telnet, ftp, http, rfinger, IRC, smtp, zmodem) without encryption. You could literally telnet / nc into port and DO stuff. Encryption destroyed the simplicity of the internet...
My silly opinion. Encryption is literyally only thing blocking retro computers from being usable forever... (And js)
I would argue the reason the early web is a good memory now is that it was only used by a handful of nerds back then. All that encryption is there for a reason, and simplicity gives way to complexity because the internet of today has to serve orders of magnitude more people and use cases than it used to.
