  Is Advanced AI a Reason to Decouple from The Centralized Internet?

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 centralized internet 
<https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2021/08/77139/>.

There is high concern over security, privacy, and safety threats exposed 
by artificial intelligence pioneers and industry voices

  Purism Announcing Director of Product François Téchené

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.

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. Click here to read more

  Librem 5 Product Report and Roadmap for 2023

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.

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. Click here to read more
