hot startup idea: alternative emergency contacts as a service

for parents with no nearby family or friends close enough that they can be roped into the responsibility of dropping everything to pick up someone else's kids when there's a disaster or just unreachable

this one summer camp thing wants three emergency contacts listed. we're barely able to come up with one

also, check out the project, it's a self-hosted discord alternative

Add a policy on generative models (aka "AI", GenAI)

Seems like Awebo has no policy against generative models. Are there any plans to add a complete ban on generative models? For a big list of reasons why generative models are bad: https://ai-sucks-actually.fyi Having a policy would also mean Awebo could be added to https://noai.starlightn...

Finally read @tante's essay. Recommended. Needed an effort to read: it's not that long, but it points out so many bad things it's heavy.

'Using β€œAI” requires normalizing these forms of violence. You need to accept them in order to be able to live with yourself integrating those tools into your workflows.

And this is the connection to fascism.'

'the short-term purpose of β€œAI”: The destruction of labor power'

These quotes don't make justice to the essay.

"Representative Tom Kean Jr. has not been seen in public for nearly three months. He last voted in Congress on March 5.

On the day of the congressional primary, the mystery of the missing legislator remains frustratingly unsolved. But it was not for lack of trying."

A Congressman Was Suddenly Absent. So We Looked. And Looked.

Will the mystery of Tom Kean Jr., a New Jersey representative, finally be solved on Tuesday? The reporters covering the story will have questions.
