@molly0xfff on AI vs. scraping vs. copyright protection vs. openness. Very thoughtful (as usual) and worth reading.

Also included, this gem (together with other thoughts about sustainable business models):
«Many AI “visionaries” seem perfectly content to promise that artificial superintelligence is just around the corner, but claim that attribution is somehow a permanently unsolvable problem.»

I love #opensource and #distributed #peertopeer systems. They are essential to our future. Want to be free from tyranny? This is the way to go!

Instead of #RepoTheGeneticOpera and #GATTACA, let's do @vulpinelabs
Instead of hyper capitalist bullshit, do #incredibleedible and #transitiontowns with #urbanpollinators and #permaculture
Instead of proprietary software and patents, do #linux and #openpatents (defensive publications)
Instead of copyright trolling, do #netlabels and embracing the beneficial impacts of #sharing #piracy! #sharingiscaring
Instead of monopolies on your data and what you watch, do #Peertube and #Fediverse

We can shape the future by choosing what we use and what impacts us!

(Not only) in difficult times, I like children's TV. Not just to escape into funnier worlds. #Cartoons and #animatedFilms can show in a wonderfully soothing way what the kind of #society we wish can look like. And that it can be learnt.

@Daojoan The best quality content (youtube videos included) is work of love. Not because or for money. So there is nothing wrong to have a YT channel or similar, as long you don't give two fucks about what the platform or people think or pay. Do it for the help/education of others. Not for money. Make quality, not quantity. make it searchable. a blog/wiki is perfect, if content is up to date and validated/tested. #sharing is caring.

There's another form of sharing I like to do.

Cover your friend's songs.

Most live shows are some covers and some originals. The covers are almost always hits and there's a reason for this. You love the song and your audience loves the song.

Covering your friend's songs works too. It gives you a chance to talk about your friend and explain why you love their work.

This engages the audience in a way that originals and covering hits doesn't.

Try it. It works.
