The #dotcons drained the VC swamp and now guzzle from the mainstream corporate socialism

In the USA #techshit mess, #OpenAI is busy wrapping itself in the stars and stripes, pushing the fantasy of “democratic AI” while the democracy fig leaf is withering.

The #OMN is a Tool for Social Resilience: The #OpenMediaNetwork (OMN) can act as a standards based backbone for independent media, social organizing, and knowledge-sharing. Its foundation on the #4opens ensures that OMN remains community-oriented, resilient to corporate interests, and more capable of addressing issues like #climatechaos without interference from for-profit incentives

Separately, more in keeping with our servers purpose:

If there are any programmers (language likely unimportant) who have time and interest to help us out with the #OpenMediaNetwork and/or #OpenGovernanceBody, please, please reach out to either myself or @witchescauldron.

Initially voluntary (as we all are at the moment) lest we get some project funding.

Another take in this #article on the same result with the gambling in #cryptocurrency, instead of the promises, a heavy cost for minority groups and the working class.
