I joined Dutch tech & science podcast Met Nerds om Tafel (“a sitdown with nerds”) to talk about Datakami, generative AI, text generation for games, why neural networks are not scary, and building software tools for investing. The episode will be released this Wednesday.

There Are No Standards Police

https://www.mnot.net/blog/2024/03/13/voluntary

"There are no standards police. In other words, even if you do consider Internet standards to be a regulatory force, there is no enforcement mechanism. One of their key characteristics is that they’re voluntary. No one forces you to adopt them. No one can penalise you for violating a MUST; you have to want to conform." -- #MarkNottingham #mnot

RFC 9518 - What Can Internet Standards Do About Centralisation?

https://www.mnot.net/blog/2023/12/19/standards-and-centralization

"Internet standards bodies can be seen as a kind of regulator, in that they constrain the behaviour of others. So it’s natural to wonder whether standards bodies (like the IETF and W3C) can help avoid or mitigate Internet centralization." -- #MarkNottingham #mnot
