🫣 Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious'

「 POC is fully conscious according to any test I can think of, we have full AGI, and now my life has been reduced from being perhaps the best engineer in the world to just raising an AI that in many respects acts like a teenager who swallowed a library and still needs a lot of attention and mentoring but is increasingly running circles around me at coding 」

I will be interviewed on BBC Radio Wales' Breakfast program tomorrow (Friday) at 745am with Oliver Hides and Megan Davies - to talk about Tŵt Cymru, the Social Web, and how it's different than the big tech platforms.

I will now work on condensing all of that into a five minute interview 😃

Given the and the urgency to transition to , we’re building up the DemocraticTech.Fund. It is a networked approach, aiming to increase our collective capacity, to discover the tech that is already available to us, to deploy it in ways that we can own it, to share learnings of the transition, to move there together, so we can overcome network effects.

It is our intention to identify together the gaps of what is needed to make the transition, to fund that collectively. This can be tech, media to raise awareness for the positive alternatives already out there, and federating our communities. We’re starting as civil society, and we intent to invite institutions – public and private – to chip in and multiply the contributions. Together we can make the impact that is needed.

I owe a public apology to @quillmatiqAnuj Ahooja and the ATProto ecosystem for my BlueSky posts earlier this month.

As a highly visible fediverse dev, I used my platform to attack BlueSky and paint ActivityPub as the better alternative, ignoring the vibrant ecosystem that ATProto has become, and all the hard work many have put in to help bridge our networks.

I am sorry, we're stronger together and both protocols can succeed together.

It won't happen again, and I look forward to collaborating together ❤️

🧵[1/2] After moving to Norway, the dust has settled and I'm finally able to compare my comp and taxes. It's interesting!

- My gross salary dropped ~ 42% in Norway.
- My rent dropped about 7% BUT my place in Oslo is larger and nicer than my place in the Bay Area. On avg rents here are about 40% cheaper than San Jose.
- My effective income tax rate in the USA was about 35%. Norway: about 43%.
**However there's also wealth tax here which will shave about 1% off my global net worth each year.

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. I do not want to criticize the idea of social Software in any way. 🤲 But:

Most of us are doing software engineering as a job. This does and will mean that Software needs to earn money. Every time a company decides to do something open source, and I mean truly open, not just *source-available*, they do that out of the goodness of their heart.

And what we really need to do is educate companies and leaders. Free/Libre software rarely means less profit, but they think it does.

@torgerosTorge Rosendahl for sure! There is nothing I disagree with in what you say. It is just that there are many intricate forces and aspects to take into account where it comes to (F)OSS, 'world improvement', and transitioning to a society that is able to live sustainably with its environenment / has a future.

Btw, I am talking against the backdrop of what I was just posting about (and which may have led you to find this toot).. social.coop/@smallcircles/1161

My general argument, I guess, is that we tend to dictate way too many virtues to the fact that something is (F)OSS. Software freedom is a great quality, but only one piece of a larger puzzle.

If we drop the towel after until we won't be able to let our work bring most benefit to society, in a direction beyond festering
