In this week's issue of Cybercultural, my online magazine about internet history, I look at how Slashdot's "karma" system inspired the moderation efforts of BowieNet version 2.0 (launched in May 2000). I also check in with Google and Amazon in the year 2000: despite the dot-com downturn, their karma was just fine. (bonus: a pic of Google's founders wearing tin foil capes at that year's Webbys!). https://cybercultural.com/p/karma-2000-slashdot-bowienet-v2/
Social Karma in 2000 With Slashdot and BowieNet Version 2.0

By 2000, Slashdot's pioneering karma system is helping other online communities — like BowieNet — moderate user contributed content. Meanwhile, Google and Amazon enjoy good karma over 2000.

now that my Big Project™ for the year has shipped and is wrapping up, i will be enjoying some relative down time at work, in which i’d like to spend time topping up my waning modern web dev knowledge.

💡i am looking for recommendations on good online courses to bridge my knowledge gap in latest (not trendiest) CSS and JS practices. i have a few already queued up, but this will help me prioritize.

boosts are most welcome. thank you in advance! #webDev #CSS #javascript

Instead of worrying that TikTok could carry Chinese government propaganda — which the Supreme Court declined to even consider — "people can now be concerned that TikTok could be a conduit for US government propaganda," EFF’s @davidgreene and @evacide said.

TikTok’s Future: U.S. Owners To Control Algorithm And Data In Proposed Deal

TikTok’s U.S. operations could soon be run by Oracle, Silver Lake Partners and the Murdochs under a proposed $100 billion deal.

"Low effort, unhelpful AI generated work is having a significant impact on collaboration at work. Approximately half of the people we surveyed viewed colleagues who sent workslop as less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output. Forty-two percent saw them as less trustworthy, "

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity

Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appears polished but lacks real substance, offloading cognitive labor onto coworkers. Research from BetterUp Labs and Stanford found that 41% of workers have encountered such AI-generated output, costing nearly two hours of rework per instance and creating downstream productivity, trust, and collaboration issues. Leaders need to consider how they may be encouraging indiscriminate organizational mandates and offering too little guidance on quality standards. To counteract workslop, leaders should model purposeful AI use, establish clear norms, and encourage a “pilot mindset” that combines high agency with optimism—promoting AI as a collaborative tool, not a shortcut.

> Obscure Vietnamese New Wave made in Little Saigon (Orange County), California from the mid-80s to mid-90s … The extravagance of the hairstyles, the fits & the attitude gave the recently migrated Vietnamese a newly found, shared interest with their non-Viet counterparts. Music & style unified people amidst high cultural sensitivity due to the aftermath of the Vietnam War
