CET, it’s in the title

I guess here the topic is more of insurrections, like what’s happening in Iran right now or how it went on in HK

I have no clue what you believe this event is actually about and why people go there.

Freedom of information is freedom for the most powerful to use that information for their profit. The more powerful you are, the more tools you have to harness common goods for profit.

God forbid a technical person becomes an adult and starts understanding power, money, and politics. Engineers should be babies playing with their toys and being idealistic and irresponsible about their impact on the world.

I think the point is more general about profiting from “renting” their music rather than from their labor. The fact that Spotify gives them peanuts make their position even more miserable.

If you want a sandwich, you have to make it.

I don’t think AIliens are the same as AGI. I believe in this frame AIliens exist in the mind of people, rather than in the machine. It’s behavior complex enough to be interpreted as such, rather than a sentient being thinking of itself as sentient, as AGI implies. It’s alive in the same way an organization is alive and thinking, or a mycelium network. AGI is human-like intelligence reproduced in silicon. AIliens are… alien.

who here is terrified of technology?

I’m one of the few volunteer contributors to Bonfire, and I would never dream of recommending Mozilla to use it. You have to reach out to people where they are at, not pick the tools based on prime principles. American platforms are blackmailing us by gatekeeping access to audiences, but it’s not like you can pretend most humans are reachable on microscopic federated platforms. Which btw is not the intended use case for bonfire.

yeah, I conveyed a similar feedback to the author of the article. Thanks for the analysis

what’s wrong with the title?

I don’t understand your downvotes. If they are from scabs, or they are from people who only read the title and thought this is some managerial shit.

because I joined a long time ago?

ok, scab

We have plenty of text-based community platforms, depending on the country you’re in. It’s all stuff that will be presented at the call.
