I keep seeing pieces (from VC firms, consultancies, the White House, etc.) likening the AI rollout to the Industrial Revolution. I’ll admit there are correlations (or at least similarities) between the two. But the similarities I see are not the ones being packaged into neatly wrapped sales pitches about productivity gains and shared prosperity.

@kraft and I have been having fun hacking away on FOSSE these past few weeks. tl;dr: we released a dev preview of FOSSE, a plugin that bundles ActivityPub + AT Protocol into one WordPress setup flow, making it easier to syndicate to the Atmosphere and Fediverse. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think!

"This is a story of waste, ignorance and greed. Of being so desperate to own the future but so disconnected from actually building anything. This arms race is a monument to the lack of curiosity rife in the highest ranks of the tech industry. They refuse to do the hard work — to create, to be curious, to be excited about the things you build and the people they serve — and so they spent billions to eliminate the risk they even might have to do any of those things."
