Problems / Solutions

The machine that reports

The machine that reports, the store that is the only door, the model nobody can audit. Journalism is on the Media pages. The factory that will not open is on the Manufacturing pages. The homework paste is on the Education pages. The last mile as a commons is on the Communication pages. The rack that feeds the plant is on the Energy pages.

Problem
Surveillance by default

Pew 2023: 73 percent with little or no control over company data. 79 percent, the government.

Solution
Mesh networks

A disk you can pull. A node you can name. A net that does not phone home.

Problem
A single app store as the only door

Commission, April 2025: €500 million for a door that still would not let a maker name another till.

Solution
A door that is not the store

Install from the maker. Keep a side door. Name the till.

Problem
Foundation models as unaccountable infrastructure

Pew February 2026: 49 percent on a chatbot. 71 percent say the file will be less safe.

Solution
Local inference

Run the job on a disk you hold. Name the steward.
