Different ThanUpdate: My take on this has changed, due to <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/@jeremiah" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jeremiah</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/@jorgecandeias" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jorgecandeias</a>, and <a href="https://mastodon.social/@koen_hufkens" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@koen_hufkens</a> referring me to essays about this issue by <a href="https://social.coop/@cwebber" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cwebber</a> (I had read parts of them but not all). I'm convinced by Christine Lemmer-Webber's analysis: the AT protocol is decentralizable in theory, but seems constructed in such a way that any real implementation of a second bluesky server would cost millions of dollars; it does not seem feasible to make a network of bluesky-type servers on "normal-people" budgets, unless something about that codebase changes.Original post (much more optimistic) below. -----------------"Smart leftism pays attention to these differences [in flavors of capitalism], because they represent the potential fault lines in capitalism's coalition...""I'm saying that it's good praxis to understand these divisions in capitalism, because then we can exploit those differences to make real, material gains for human thriving and worker rights. Lumping all for-profit businesses together as identical and irredeemable is bad tactics.""My answer to 'why spend money fixing Bluesky?' is 'why leave 20 million people at risk of enshittification when we could not only make them safe, but also create the toolchain to allow many, many organizations to operate a whole federation of Bluesky servers?'

Erik van StratenAuschwitz herdenking 27 jan a.s.Uit <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/13/speeches-by-politicians-banned-at-80th-anniversary-of-auschwitzs-liberation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/13/speeches-by-politicians-banned-at-80th-anniversary-of-auschwitzs-liberation</a>: ❝ “There will be no political speeches at all,” said Piotr Cywiński, director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial and museum, in a recent interview with the Guardian. ❞Dat begrijp ik. Want het AM (Auschwitz Memorial) heeft een voormalige IDF militair in het bestuur en is uitgesproken pro-Israël (zie onderaan <a href="https://www.auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschwitz-council/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschwitz-council/</a>). En is dus: *SOMS* TÉGEN GENOCIDEEn niet alleen op dat punt is het AM selectief, tevens uit het Guardian artikel: ❝ In 2005, Vladimir Putin visited the 60th anniversary commemoration, giving a speech in which he said it was “inconceivable to think that people are capable of such barbarity” and paid tribute to the Soviet soldiers who liberated the camp. This time, however, no Russian delegation has been invited. ❞Volgens <a href="https://www.auschwitz.org/en/history/the-number-of-victims/overall-numbers-by-ethnicity-or-category-of-deportee/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.auschwitz.org/en/history/the-number-of-victims/overall-numbers-by-ethnicity-or-category-of-deportee/</a> zijn er 15.000 Sovjets vermoord in Auschwitz, en bovendien hebben Sovjets het concentratiekamp bevrijd. Dat er géén vertegenwoordigers van vermoorde Sovjets worden uitgenodigd, is (mede vanwege het spreekverbod) opmerkelijk.Verder uit the Guardian:❝ “The Polish government treats the safe participation of the leaders of Israel in the commemorations on 27 January 2025, as part of paying tribute to the Jewish nation, millions of whose daughters and sons became victims of the Holocaust carried out by the Third Reich,” read a resolution released by Tusk’s office.Cywiński described the whole discussion as a “media provocation”, claiming there was no indication that Netanyahu had ever planned to visit the ceremony in the first place. He said, however, that a sizeable Israeli delegation was expected at the event. ❞Ook als Netanyahu NIET ZÉLF komt, maakt het AM dus een keihard onderscheid tussen de afkomst van de mensen die in Auschwitz zijn vermoord (in 2023 moest de Duitse regering het AM eraan "helpen herinneren" dat er in Auschwitz ook veel LHBTI+ mensen waren geliquideerd: <a href="https://apnews.com/article/politics-germany-14bcd8e50b302637f6dce81a4e25c733" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/politics-germany-14bcd8e50b302637f6dce81a4e25c733</a>). En dus is het AM: RACISTISCHEn m.b.t.

[...] Netanyahu chose not to specifically refer to the Iranian regime and its nuclear drive, but has drawn a link between the Nazis and the Iranian threat to the Jews in many recent speeches.“AmYisrael Chai, we have returned to our homeland, to the land ofour forefathers, to Jerusalem, our capital. We have converged fromall corners of the world, Holocaust survivors, Arab Jews, Jews fromformer Soviet Union states, Ethiopian Jews,” Netanyahu said,choosing frosty Poland as the location for his rebuke to those whoclaim the Jewish population of Israel is comprised mostly ofemigrants [sic] from Europe. ❞Voor degenen die weten wie Cory Doctorow is: ook hem heb ik geblokt (net als heel veel anderen) voor het boosten van progenocide propaganda van het AM (zie <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113860730443669912" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113860730443669912</a>).En zie ook de foto's onderaan <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113810532533520943" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113810532533520943</a> als je mij maar een antisemiet vindt.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NetanyahuLiegtAltijd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NetanyahuLiegtAltijd</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MetenMetTweeMaten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MetenMetTweeMaten</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PutinEnNetanyahu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PutinEnNetanyahu</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HolocaustAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HolocaustAbuse</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ProGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProGenocide</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Auschwitz80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Auschwitz80</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AuschwitzMemorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuschwitzMemorial</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AuschwitzMuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuschwitzMuseum</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CIDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CIDI</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AIPAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIPAC</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDF</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IDFTerrorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IDFTerrorists</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IsraeliDestructionForces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsraeliDestructionForces</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Doctorow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Doctorow</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CoryDoctorow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoryDoctorow</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Enshittification</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Complicit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Complicit</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GazaGenocide</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Westbank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Westbank</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Lebanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lebanon</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Syria</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ICJisRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICJisRight</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ICCisRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICCisRight</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FrancescaAlbaneseIsRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FrancescaAlbaneseIsRight</a>

Alexander Goeres 𒀯this is a very interesting article by ted chiang about the quality of LLM like chatgpt a.o. the LLM's "hallucinations" as inevitable effects of data compression <blockquote> Think of ChatGPT as a blurry JPEG of all the text on the Web. It retains much of the information on the Web, in the same way that a JPEG retains much of the information of a higher-resolution image, but, if you’re looking for an exact sequence of bits, you won’t find it; all you will ever get is an approximation. But, because the approximation is presented in the form of grammatical text, which ChatGPT excels at creating, it’s usually acceptable. You’re still looking at a blurry JPEG, but the blurriness occurs in a way that doesn’t make the picture as a whole look less sharp.</blockquote> worth reading! via @<a href="https://mamot.fr/users/pluralistic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cory Doctorow</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=computer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">computer</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=internet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">internet</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Doctorow" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Doctorow</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Chiang" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chiang</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=LLM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LLM</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=ChatGPT" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ChatGPT</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=AI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AI</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=KI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">KI</a> #^<a class="" href="https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/chatgpt-is-a-blurry-jpeg-of-the-web" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web</a> <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/chatgpt-is-a-blurry-jpeg-of-the-web" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> <blockquote>OpenAI’s chatbot offers paraphrases, whereas Google offers quotes.
