earthman@pluralistic I know it's not perfect, but I'm using a Friendica instance that pulls BlueSky to it, so I can view all my Mastodon, BlueSky, RSS and more together in one feed, so I don't have to put all my eggs in one basket. I did a demo of my setup. I think you might find it interesting. youtu.be/QFGLRgnaeLc
Friendica with Mastodon, Bluesky, RSS feeds, Threads, etc.
AlekI’ve been reading up on OpenAI’s pivot from open to closed (and from non- to profit), in the context of ChatGPT4.
There’s a good story about this in the Verge, and a passage there struck me: one of the reasons for keeping the model (and the training dataset) closed is copyright liability - since ChatGPT is trained on “raw internet”, and the status of such training is currently contested (privacy rights could also be in play).
So we have this negative feedback loop, with copyright in the middle of it, and affecting broader issues related to ethics, responsible use, transparency.
This is really interesting, as only several months ago there was not much of a copyright angle to the debates on responsible AI.

Scott SantensThis is what I think when someone responds to the idea of basic income that "no one should get money without working." There are thousands of books about how to earn passive income so you can become rich letting "your money work for you." The rich already have basic income.
