You’ve probably heard the idiom, “the elephant in the room,” but what if yet another megafauna stampeded onto the scene? That’s where Itamar Gov’s installation comes in.

블가족 여러분, 유쾌한 소식 하나 들고 왔습니다.

해외 유명 셀럽인지 인플루언서인지가 (여성임) 호텔 커피포트로 속옷 삶는 걸 팁이라고 올렸다가 까이고 있는데 (어차피 더러워서 아무도 안 쓰는거 아님? 이러고 있음) 실제로 호텔 주전자로 속옷, 양말을 삶거나 하는 사람이 대충 100명 중에 1~5명 정도는 된다는 기사를 본 기억이 있음. 확률적으로 100명 중에 1-5명은 ... 저렇다는걸 생각하면 어떤 자명해보이는 정치적 이슈라도 대립이 치열한 것도 왠지 납득을 할 수 있게 됨.

I've been seeing some messages saying that "AI outputs not being eligible for copyright means they can't be integrated into FOSS projects because they can't be licensed!" and I don't think that's true. Instead, I will give you several *different* reasons to reject AI generated content in your FOSS projects.

In the US at least, the absence of copyright means the public domain. The public domain itself is considered FOSS compatible with every FOSS license. Except!

The public domain doesn't exist in all jurisdictions in the same way. This is one reason CC0 was made, which is a public domain waiver with a fallback license. (CC0 is not a good idea to use with software though, separate thread about why that is.)

There *is* a related risk: internationally, there isn't agreement about whether or not whether or not AI generated content is subject to copyright yet. AND, not everywhere even has a concept of "public domain". AND, the legal status of this AIgen isn't well settled ANYWHERE yet.

> 「本来的に説得力のある」ものである筈のどのような「一般的な規則や原理」もすべての人に対して同じだけの説得力を持たないという本来的にはむしろ絶望的な状況の中…，妥協のために譲歩した点を顕在化することを避け，その点は謂わば棚上げしながら論者の感情を刺戟しないよう注意を払って合意獲得に努めることで，短期間の内に実際的な効力を持つ医療倫理のための勧告を作り上げた

技術として決疑論が再発見されたということで、現代の絶望的な状況でも使っていけたい。

決疑論は方法か態度か - 名古屋大学学術機関リポジトリ

​​

これから政治空間でも生活空間でも、感情的な原理原則論に基づいた排他的な主張が横行すると見込んでいます。

この状況では、哲学・倫理学における「決疑論という概念が、生活や大切な人を守るために極めて重要になってくる。

私が決疑論を説明できればいいのだけれど、その余裕が今はない。
なので、私の周りにいてくれる人には、琉球大の吉満先生と大城先生が書かれた「決疑論は方法か態度か」という論文をぜひ読んでほしいと願ってます。

これ以上ないほど優れた「決疑論」解説なので。ちょっと小難しいかもだけど、Fediverseにいる人なら、読む能力は十分にあると思う。

Floppy disks were introduced in the early 1970s and in the two decades before they became obsolete, tens of billions were produced, most of which ended up in landfills, long-forgotten storage, or libraries. Archivist Leontien Talboom has been working for the past few years to preserve the floppy disks in the Cambridge University Library, collaborating with retro-computing enthusiasts. She talked to @PopularScience about the project.

"We are witnessing the death of the “Mass Audience” and the birth of the “Micro-Community.”

The music industry has spent a decade obsessing over how to get a million people to listen to a song once. The next decade will be defined by artists figuring out how to get 1,000 people to care forever."

The death of Spotify won't be quick, but I do so very much hope this is true.

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree.

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (#Mastodon, #Pixelfed, Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own #ActivityPub inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefedThe BadgeFed Project !

Interested in testing? Reply here, I will reach out in the next 24-48hrs with an invitation link.
