Step 0: Pick a hack project

• Logos Network HelloWorld!
  • Logos is a fully decentralised, privacy-preserving, and politically neutral technology stack
  • Logos is composed of three primary protocols: Nomos, Codex, and Waku, for consensus, file storage, and communication respectively.

Step 1: Talk to super-interesting devs and share links about

• Digital gardening

  • the "MAC Address" problem
  • Google's gaslighting
    • [[insert moment of tangible angst in room]] Has Google or has Google not used my Gmail content to train AI models? Yes or no. If no, will Alphabet Inc. announce a change in Terms of Service so I can opt out (e.g. GDPR)
    • Google talking privacy while actually DOING EXACT OPPOSITE and sneaking in a SUPERCOOKIE on the masses like a zero-day -- Calling it "Privacy Sandbox" clearly signals that Alphabet values profit over truth. DO NO EVIL big brother
  • promising self-sovereign alternative iniatives like Tell and Show
