@noah @colin_mcmillen It's a 40mb video file, so skipped it.
Would have been nice as few megabyte not 40 and then linked to silo or elsewhere. Just saying. I did see the thumbnail so Woz something...

Confirmed. ChatGPT is actively indexing the Fediverse, even small servers like mine who have not explicitly consented to their indexing.

So while people on Mastodon got angry about Mastodon having built-in discovery features, ChatGPT just went ahead and slurped up all your posts.

@debby Answers to ideal society...

Well one where you reply for a start - no hate here but sending you thoughtful replies previously or DM asking is becoming just the usual unreply here - so a post like this asking for ideas is just like "What is going on with these people who can't even reply"...

Another chance is here... any clue yourself as to what's happening?

Why do systems fail us ? + The Answers (=Better social systems and #Friendships) 

Updating and Writing copies of this now just to get some feedback. @freemo you will get a shorter version and hopefully benefit from revision so can skip this for now.

(everyone else feel free to comment and I'll keep it in mind and for later revisions today)...

QUESTION THAT HINT TO MY DIRECTION...

❓ Just more "users" ? or Better social systems and for the better way,.,?

❓ Why do systems fail us ?

❓ Why do people not improve / become / ?

Short version answers as list and description below:

🔴 ANSWERS / THE LIST

➡️ 1. Better human social systems = better human

➡️ 2. Machine Systems themselves provide access to #1 but can't actually do it (at all) which is why social practise is needed

➡️ 3. Machine Systems use coincidence more often (, , not much else) and expect users to know how to *actually* communicate beyond 'nice cat' comments and "nice car" pictures'. This is the void or potential that needs work.

➡️ 4. People need to grow their brains and ability to moderate feelings internally (systems do not do that) to become better people - not just users which might 'at some point' get it and bumble along saying it's no fault of their own (which is true if others are not actively helping

➡️ 5. Humanity needs human work, not just machines.

Better social systems = better

LONGER / EXPLAINED VERSION

➡️ DESCRIPTION / THE NEXT LEVEL AFTER VANILLA INSTALL

This might be seen as "The Next Level" model beyond just logging in to a communication or a :mastodon: server - because it actually involves the individuals doing more of the work between them, and then finding / accepting others in turn... like a kind of tuning or solving of own missing pieces. 🧩 if you agree that as individuals we are like unique copies and similarities of each other while also sharing the same world so there is a lot in common (and rightly should be).

Rolling the dice more often with people creatively and otherwise 🎲 but not just as weirdos contacting each other - a better system or way on top.

For those that really don't want of course that's fine, step aside, BUT also for those that want / need encouragement and have some direction and feelings in life... Let us all process it.

Nobody wants to be alone and I agree nobody wants to be a shoulder to cry on all the time - but it needs something in the middle and not just being increasingly alone (again my opinion but is measurable but modern capitalistic systems and profit-orientated ways that CUT OUT the humans parts and even replace it with machines).

What seems to work is actual non-demanding friendship or a sliding scale so that the doors are not totally closed or totally open either... and that middle opens up a whole new world (as friends local and afar gather and from mass turn into a better human unit).

100% the one-way social is not enough so something for everyone need to be there, not starting from extremes but not stopping after giving another messaging device... stepping towards the extreme as a nicer "program of bettering the brain more often" / re-education / enjoyment of our own selves- improving on many levels of contact all the while.

🔴 Any thoughts ?
THAT'S THE MAIN TEXT so reply to add your opinion please... the rest is just expanding on that

🔴 YOUTUBE AS EXAMPLE
We have youtube but we don't really have contact with those great people. So we can see ourselves in the same dynamic while not needing to be a big hollywood star and being more accessible.

Youtube is great (apart from being google etc) but the one-way video stuff gets to you after a while as you see you're just a user... but a more together youtube contact where people are able to see and acknowledge you on a more neutral / less advertising space like Mastodon is also essential beyond just watching. Even work with them! This is perhaps the ultimate goal for every artist or educator and while it's "God not all at once" you do need to link people in else just have empty gallery or just tourists who barely use your work or remember you.

====================
🔴 USERS JUST KILLING TIME WITHOUT PARENTS / TEACHERS / EDUCATORS / ETC

So to make sure as 'users' were are not just killing time (from nothing else to do) we seem to need more relativity with others.
Yes some / all of us can use it to kill time nicely but often it's from nothing else to do (which can be bad)

It's like relying on tech while people stay the same less-skilled levels and less-confident online to actually build trust or measures things better.
Essentially need teaching and regular related examples.

Not investing in people themselves (and more tech) basically means we need a better balance between us than just being given a social messaging system ... or it's the natural next level after we have etc

Encouraging closer social relativity... Growing people essentially (not expecting any outside system to do it but us ourselves).

Improving human relationship seems to be the #1 solution to many things which externally / outside are more conditional and as ultimatums to connecting so not quite able to be honest (it's or first). To make sure we are not just "users" of any system... we need to see and practise more ourselves / .

Talking together more often might not be for everyone BUT as system makers it's not only about giving people a system and leaving them to and expecting less stuff to work (for those that want / can see others doing it and benefits).

It's like giving a child a new phone and expecting them to use it properly. Adults are still fairly new to online and technology even in the basic text sense we've had for a while.

If 'systems' by themselves only help interact and don't solve actually interacting past one-way messages then everything people can do online or offline can fail to connect properly if actually they don't practise making friends more often or going beyond just monetary exchange (needing to have a job and / lost after

🔴 GOALS (without sounding to inhuman about this independent )

➡️ responsibility for each of us to increase user-to-user interaction on networks
➡️ match-making ourselves in that sense
➡️ encouraging closer social relativity... growing people essentially (not just code, machines, more systems without our own invested work / only mainstreams stuff to share with others)

@mapache Just thinking the same!
I was dubious about USB-C but seems it's the same with more of a symmetrical end / fits without figuring out which way it goes in!

Is there much more to USB-C than the older style cables?

The beat thing about traveling is organizing your cable set.

Maybe one day everything will be usb-c ...

=====================
WHAT WE ALL WANT FROM OF THESE WORDS.... BECAUSE WE'RE HUMAN - I THINK THEREFORE I AM...
=====================

We all want for love / care / respect "or else" the opposites start to occur like cancer (various levels) and things (people) get left neglected and also untrained.

We let the bad in by not doing the good basically as it's a kind of maintenance / repair-as-you go.
NOT just "we wait until it's fully broken!" or when person gets suicidal!)
Just the way things are and how things get without caring and doing the people work in every level of life during everything.

As much as you "don't have time" all these things (or their opposites) do catch up - so this is actually saving your time when you family or project doesn't fall apart!!! The damage is reduced / people don't waste our time later or bad things happen still but not without healthy use of healthy ways and even disconnection can be done better at the end and lessons learned much better ! So to practise talking now (at whatever level) pays off in the end to do more careful work together / constructing something beyond

==========================
CAPITALISM IS BETTER FASTER NO?
=========================
Capitalism also as we have learned CAPITALISM DOESN'T WORK - it does care for what you think or choose - it's mostly authoritarian and profit-minded.

===================
START YOUR OWN SYSTEM
===================
It can mean starting something from this perspective that communication is better - because it's true many people just won't listen - but who is also offering or training people in these things - maybe you with this printed!

Yu literally have to create life yourself if it doesn't exist (on top of existing very pure sources, like I did with this list from the dictionary !!
=============
THE END RESULT?
=============
Once you as individually and family learn to print and share these things (stick on your fridge/door), it's techniques and sentiments can "live on themselves" (in others)...

WHY YOU TEACH ME ANYTHING - YOU'RE PROFILE IS A JOKE!

Love / care / respect is an intentional system, individually carried out for overall humanity - I'm not an NGO or anything big but as a human I stand or good - measurably, words and actions.

This can also start with you and more people taking just 1 picture and having the atmosphere of it reach others (give peaceful words a chance?)... We just needs humans to spread it somewhat and daily conversations get better as and people talk more and pass better words on

Sticking it up somewhere (fridge or wall) as is a good conversation point and piece of interest / meditation / discussion during dinner etc.

=====================
LOVE GOES OUT AND COMES BACK AROUND AND IN.
=====================
💌 Much love goes out to humanity, get in contact if interested... 💌

We know how it feels without love of various kinds (at work, home, outside) - so let's not neglect any of these smaller things - I'm not even talking big "love" / hippyness, but the smaller things and bigger efforts to improve vocabulary and practice it at home / on the internet as group chats etc... all can be a better therapy 💌

====================
WHY THESE WORDS?
====================
"System of Love" is from a list I collected over the years in my own relationships and looked them all up either from my words, partners or observations (everyone in my life!)

Related to love, care and respect needed between people more words are sometimes very crucial in heated battles or complex situations... learn well as it makes for less anger or else all hell breaks loose! 😃

Boost :boost: 🚀 if you would like to see more of these things practised in life.

=====================
ALSO FOR THE SCIENCE TYPES
=====================
and perhaps are not alway emotionally minded or trained so it's also for people who don't' get exposed to why it's important to talk (to human, not just computers!).
Even as a science or biology consider of that mainly starts and ends with emotions (human input output) - check out Bruce Liption!

That goes beyond externally programming machines and more capitalistic styles of hiring people just to get stuff done - because computers and capitalism are without caring mostly and don't ask or design around what people think - it's mostly top-down authoritative (at least in modern day ).

Learning love (or to love others) or even to fight well, isn't exactly what school teaches everyone so we need these kinds of posters and reminders...

@Pat Can you help annotate or explain more about this part of why this is in your profile?

" Use

"she" for the subjective case,
"him" for the objective case,
"her" for the active possessive case, and
"his" for the passive possessive case.

Note: This is to avoid non-PC objectification and passivity. "

@raphael And competing with machines is a bit hard on people too (like things being too straight, too shiny, even lasting too long).

The embedded-energy burned into the the machine needed for itself is quiet hidden... so ecocide eventually hidden also...

It's a over-reply but too subtle than people don't realise we have had too-good for too long....
