This is a really excellent non-fiction piece by @WeirdWriterRobert Kingett about a writing group with a tech bro:

sightlessscribbles.com/the-col

It is a distilled essence of the social and cultural damage AI/LLM is causing, how AI promoters are cynically destroying people's confidence in their own humanity, while simultaneously trying to ridicule and other people who point out that AI is bullshit. (And this isn't even mentioning the environmental consequences.)

⚠️ The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X ⚠️

The platform never aligned with our values and no longer serves as a space for communication. What initially intended to be a place for dialogue and information exchange has turned into a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control, far removed from the ideals of freedom we stand for.

RE: mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1156

I’m proud to share my first blog as @Mastodon’s Community Director. Well the first one posted under my name at least 😉

Digital social networking is one of the most important threads in the fabric of our societies. Right now, we’re letting that thread be controlled by social media platforms that let advertisements for scams stay up because they’re profitable, and that use their algorithms to run human research experiments on us without our consent. That’s not the society I want.

“By making the news and truth contingent on advertising budgets we’ve created an environment where any narrative can win, as long as the storyteller is willing to pay. If we allow these conditions to continue, we will leave behind the voices that truly matter; the people and their public institutions. It is critical that those voices not be silenced forever. The promise of the is the promise of a better way forward: free from ads and manipulative algorithms, a place built by and for people like you, where is a right and not a privilege.”

In this thread, we asked folks to crowdsource a list of resources so you can find your local representative. Find them, contact them, and tell them this: if you care about a free and just future, and if you care about , you must leave X and join the fediverse.
