@nopatience I've heard good things about Cryptpad but I've not used it myself. Their cloud offering appears to be hosted in France.

@liztai @cliffle I must admit I'm guilty of assuming folks I interact with online are in the same country as me unless there's an obvious clue that they live in another country. Not that I argue with folks online but I do have a tendency to make that assumption in general. Conversations like these help remind me that the world is a big place and I need to work on reminding myself.

@liztai @cliffle the other essay I was referring to was by @Daojoan https://www.joanwestenberg.com/a-soft-landing-manual-for-the-second-gilded-age/
As for AI related layoffs, I have seen reports of this happening in the US but also research that suggests many of these companies are just blaming AI because it makes it look like a positive efficiency thing VS "we are hurting financially". So who knows?

@liztai @cliffle I'm in the USA and must admit that I've only ever thought about AI in my own "context". Your essay made me realize that so thank you. I read another essay recently that discussed AI and how we only look at its effects based on our current environment. If in the US we had social safety nets like healthcare for all, UBI, etc, then worker displacement due to AI would not be as terrible. Instead it could even be good in that it would free up many people to start small businesses.

@cliffle I would love to read more nuanced thoughts and opinions about AI. I don't think it's as black and white as a lot of public comments suggest.
