We have only 4 issues left until the Fedify 2.0 milestone!
That last thing is in progress now, and will hopefully be done enough to be useful this weekend.
So!
It would be nice to have a few people who could help to do some interoperability testing, and generally shake things out. Possibly as soon as next week. Preferably, you would be comfortable running a server and a database, and doing testing, troubleshooting, and things like that.
If that sounds like you, and you want to help out with a new fedi backend, hmu
And if this is the first you're hearing about any of this, then you may be interested in https://letterbook.com
If you're interested in doing some (very) early testing with #Letterbook, let me know so I can invite you to our contributor chat!
And, I wouldn't recommend running it on the internet just yet. Especially not on a (sub)domain that you intend to use for real life. I'll be testing in sandcastles for the foreseeable future
Things I can do now:
- follow people
- unfollow people
- be followed by people
- block people
- post things
- post replies to other posts
- read a timeline of posts
- read a thread of posts
- read reports
- read profiles
- edit profiles
- federate all of the above
- block servers
- import blocklists
- create an account
- manage passwords
- log in and out
Things I still need:
- search for people

Nuxt Studio drops just as I'm looking into writing a custom Help Center for Loops!
Now that's great timing.

William Howard Taft was the 27th U.S. president and later the 10th chief justice, the only American to hold both roles. Born in 1857, he rose through judicial and administrative posts, shaping law and government with steady, pragmatic leadership. #PresidentsDay

韓国の裁判って弁護士のパワーゲームみたいな側面があるんだけど、ハイブはミンヒジン1人を相手に、サムスン会長や尹前大統領の弁護団を超えるような、とんでもない規模の弁護団で訴訟に望んで完敗した。めちゃくちゃ馬鹿にされてる。
「いや、キムアンドチャン使って負けるレベルならさ（笑）」
「キムアンドチャンの前官出身弁護士22人(前官は10人)がボコられたのがマジでスカッとする。なんかアンダードッグの正義が勝ったみたいな快感。」
「キムアンドチャンを使ったってことは、前官のコネとか裏でも表でもやれることは全部やったってこと。それで証拠も出せずに負けたなら、HYBEの完敗でしょ。」
「キムアンドチャンの前官10人（笑）
連続殺人でも無罪にできそうだな。」

My family, like most, has an immigrant background — I don't even know all of it, just that my great-grandfather came over on the boat from Poland.
The countries who will best survive in the 21st Century will be those who welcome immigrants, esp climate refugees. People are what make a country strong. Diversity is strength.

In which I try to piece apart whether or not a *particular* AI agent is doing something novel: running Datalog as a constraint against its own behavior and as a database to accumulate and query facts. Is something interesting happening or am I deluding myself? Follow along!
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I feel like this is at least tangentially relevant: https://github.com/lojban/mlismu/blob/master/READ.ME.txt
not sure if you can get a working jbofihe which the script can use to make its output more concise (eliding unnecessary double terminator words and such), but from a brief glance I think it's optional.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber It's very interesting, and I appreciate you taking the time to write down your thoughts. You touched on many caveats, and I share all the concerns you mentioned. But one question I have that I wish we'd spend more time discussing is why do we want to create intelligent (presumably sentient) agents instead of focusing on creating a workshop filled with reliable, non-sentient tools?
The earth abounds in natural intelligences, and humanity still struggles to extend rights, compassion, and empathy to its own kind let alone the others we share this planet with. But given we are surrounded by natural intelligences, what are the motivations for creating an "artificial" one? Are these motivations healthy and ethical? Should we be doing it at all?
Of course, you're not responsible for answering these questions. But when I ponder these questions, the answers I come up with are not good.
@cstanhopeYour friendly 'net denizen It's a great question, tough to answer. There are various problems which neurosymbolic computation would improve the ability to solve.
I think the question for me isn't "why add new forms of intelligence" but rather "why do we live in a society where is adding new forms of intelligence is zero sum?"
Which I agree that our current society is. I wish it weren't.

I spent so long anxiety'ing about this post thinking that people would mad at me assuming it's about things it isn't, when in reality I probably don't need to anxiety at all because it's so niche that almost nobody is gonna read it 😎

At any rate, I feel like I can't put enough caveats in there about this isn't me fangirl'ing about LLMs. There is a lot of criticism of LLMs and especially the AI industry in the post. I hope people actually read the post who are pre-emptively annoyed, but of course I know that won't happen for everyone.

I had to.
From Flock cameras to fusion centers, “free” surveillance equipment funded by tech vendors, federal grants, and private donors locks cities into recurring costs and long-term data‑sharing, including with ICE. The end result is an erosion of our civil liberties. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/02/free-surveillance-tech-still-comes-high-and-dangerous-cost
RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116082694984669549
I am just so tired of this "AI" shit. Truly. Not just the extra maintenance burden on my but the constant discussions that lead nowhere. I can keep making the same arguments against using "AI" for anything relevant from here till the cows come home but it's not gonna change people's opinion. Because they are "on AI" or their bosses force it upon them or whatever.
But honestly. It's all been said. Neither does the tech change significantly (regardless of what the boosters tell you) nor do the other facts at hand, the brain and skill atrophy, the exploitation, the ecological impact, etc. etc. etc.
Dunno. It's hard to keep doing this whole "keep making your point and maybe some people will change their mind thing" when the facts are all on the table and people just have made decisions I find morally questionable.
Maybe I am just tired. Will keep doing the same shit tomorrow. Keep running against that concrete wall hoping that it will somehow crumble.
