Is Advanced AI a Reason to Decouple from The Centralized Internet?</h1>
<p>With the recent advancements and proliferation of AI (such as
ChatGPT and other probabilistic algorithms), it may be time for
individuals, companies and governments to consider exiting the <a
href="https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2021/08/77139/">centralized
internet</a>.</p>
<p>There is high concern over security, privacy, and safety threats
exposed by artificial intelligence pioneers and <a

industry voices</a> who have recently come forward including
Alphabet's (Google) <a

Purism Announcing Director of Product François Téchené</h1>
<p>It brings me great joy to announce the elevation of a
longstanding Purism employee to the critically important role of
Director of Product-François Téchené-the second employee hired to
Purism.</p>
<p>Filling this role accomplishes a lot of things for us; but
filling this role with someone of François's caliber accomplishes
all the things we need and want. An internal shift from R&D
heavy investments-measured by tens-of-millions-into finished
product and delivery-measured by features and benefits-made the
choice of elevating François to the Director of Product role an
obvious choice. <a

<h1 id="librem-5-product-report-and-roadmap-for-2023">Librem 5
Product Report and Roadmap for 2023</h1>
<p>It has been some time since we last published a global product
report for the Librem 5 phone. This is not because of slowing down
our development effort, it is the opposite. We have been very busy
and we have made substantial progress during the last few months.</p>
<p>We have been listening to our customers and realized that while
most of what we had initially planed to implement for the Librem
5, in PureOS, and for the Librem line in general was already
there, it was just missing the finishes that make a coherent and
polished experience. Therefore, we decided to reorganize our
development goals toward putting all the pieces together and
polishing the default experience of the Librem devices.
Convenience is critical for wider adoption and easier use. <a
