Whatever we think of #AI / #LLM mad hype cycle, we have to deal with its rushed and inhumane dumping of the technology into global human society.

#CALMculture is a strategic approach to that allows activist voices to have the most impact in dealing with the dangers of disruptive technology introductions, and focuses beyond berating people and demanding sacrifice ("don't use, or else.."), to creating a process that helps win people over and work together on best outcomes and in direction of solutions.

But above all we have to find ways to constructively collaborate with each in this chaotic grassroots environment we are part of.

#Collaboration and #cocreation at scale, organic growth and sustainable evolution are applied research areas of Social coding commons, where participants add value while working on their own solutions, following their self-interests in alignment with those of other people

To folks who are interested in the general subject matter I addressed above, I recommend watching the talk given by Michiel Leenaars of @nlnet at #FOSDEM last month:

And see also the extensive posts I made the past 2 weeks on the subject matter, reiterating the many subjects and challenges of healthy ecosystem formation that ail the #ActivityPub community and #fediverse at large for many years now. I pinned one of those relevant threads to my profile at:
