AI. Artificial Incompetence.

The 自由 in 自由民主党 (which gets translated to English as the Liberal Democratic Party) means liberty or freedom.

https://www.jfsribbon.org/2024/11/blog-post_23.html Quite a few folks spoke at the Japanese conference on dealing with financial censorship earlier this month.

The previous post is actually from a couple of hours ago. I reposted it as it didn't federate properly.

Things seem to be working properly now though.

It's not just bugs, things seem to be federating slower than usual.

"Wikipedia didn't allow me to create pages for prominent voice actors because it wasn't 'relevant.'"
It's hard to understand until you learn the co-founder also owns a for-profit wiki hosting service (they seem to think they own your wiki) called Wikia. I think it rebranded as "Fandom".

Since things seem to be bugging out right now, I think I'll come back later.

The federation was being wonky so I reposted something.

From what we've seen, their team is actually pretty small, it can't be easy to take on all of these projects. While they're taking the role of a "fiscal sponsor", with the mental health circle run by another small team of volunteers, rather than being more involved, it still consumes resources.

From what I'm hearing, there are some interesting things being covered there.

I made a small tweak to make the language clearer.

Apparently, a German tech conference (CCC) is being held now.

However, what their staff seemed better at (and were more interested in) was defending civil liberties. Taking on all of this seems to have made them so much less effective.

Something you quickly notice is how they try to do *everything*. They try to be the mental health circle, to fundraise to do research, to run a self-regulatory program, and to do the civil liberties thing.
