The British Guru Who Wired Chile’s Cybernetic Socialism: Cybersyn, Part 2 | Kernel Panic| Mashable

This leaves out one thing that is essential about understanding this story: the “strike” that happened was a lockout. A right wing business strike by the people who owned the factories in opposition to the workers. They didn’t want to see this work. There were also buttons at the factories that asked the workers if they were happy with the changes or upset with the changes. They overwhelmingly voted that they were happy with the changes. The workers income went up and productivity went up. The ones that felt that they were getting screwed over was the people like CEOs. The owners. Many of which didn’t even live in the country. They were the ones that called the “lockout” or “capital strike”. There were constant actions by the workers but they were acts of solidarity when they knew they were being attacked by the corporations and foreign actors.

they said this is the first time they could share realtime information. but what about phones? lol

[@Zhicano]

There's not enough people, time and phones to be needed to send changing inputs and variables. That's why having it be computerized is more efficient dummy.

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

@@Zhicano in a small south american country, phones would work. a human manually inputs data already so thats where the bottleneck was. theres no reason they couldnt report their data using phones lol. im not talking about the global economy running on phones, just this country.

@@BrickTamlandOfficial We'll that just sounds super inefficient. Sounds like it would be just like the USSR's GOSPLAN. It's better to just have a small room where you can send information about the workplace instead of having a bunch of people on phones all day filling out tons of paperwork.

[@nicolasjimenez6583]

The idea was to send information in real time, with phones the information you update is not on-time. You have to tell it, by that time it has already changed. With a computer you see it as it happened. Not after it does.

连接智利的控制论社会主义的英国大师：Cybersyn（第二部分） 在20世纪70年代，美国政府和一群大学正在研究用最快的方式来连接相隔千里的大型计算机。他们的工作，即ARPANET，成为现代互联网的基础。我们现在依赖的网络仍然反映了其目的和世界观：开放、不受控制和不可控制。 但还有另一个故事。在半球之外，智利圣地亚哥的一群程序员正在建立一个属于他们自己的网络。Cybersyn项目的目的、精神和设计与美国的网络完全不同。在它持续的两年时间里，Cybersyn的创造者们看到了一些独特的东西，这些东西在我们真正了解它对网络世界的影响之前就已经消失了。 在第二部分，我们看到他们如何用低技术解决高科技问题，并为世界带来了第一个实时经济中心。
