Frankly, I don't care if the "Big Names" of social media bypass Mastodon. What I care about are the poets, sports fans, community activists, academics, nerds, geeks, anime fans, old movie buffs, music fans, philosophers, environmentalists, photographers, bloggers, cat people, dog people, hosers, bloggers, sci-fi freaks, astronomers,biologists, and the marginalized souls that can't find a haven anywhere else. I want authentic egagement with real people.

Please listen to this and make the world better..

Once again: Moms for Liberty exists entirely so that white supremacists can violently follow them into community space, then pretend that their violence is "protection" of white women.

This right here is about deceiving people into believing the threat is real, racialized, and comes from Black men.

The current narrative leaking out of OpenAI is that he was fired by the board for trying to turn it into a profitable big tech instead of the non-profit research that many researchers signed up for.

This is like Google's board firing Larry & Sergey the day after ads showed up in Google search and then Eric Schmidt quit on Twitter that afternoon.

The company is basically imploding. Microsoft must be freaking out.

No American should have to log into a private platform which requires to give away privacy to read official statements of Representatives or US officials — much less pay. Continued unique uses of X by state, local, & federal government is a single point of failure. Congress & White House should cross-post to alternative social networks, after negotiating terms of service for federal use that require open archives through an API & create an open archive for social media. https://e-pluribusunum.org/2019/12/20/the-us-government-should-preserve-the-social-media-history-of-officials-not-delete-them/

Reading about the OpenAI mission and governance structure is fascinating. Their mission is basically to build Skynet "that benefits all of humanity."

I can actually see how the people who wrote this page would be mad that their CEO is trying to turn them into an enterprise AI company instead of treating that as a side gig so they can focus their energy on building Skynet from Terminator or JARVIS from the Avengers.
