@j12t.orgTIL that it's apparently remarkable that I don't own a TV. (Somebody put that side comment of mine into the notes of a #FediForum session followed by four (!!!!) exclamation points.)

My team studied every competitive House, Senate and Gov camapiagn sites: neither side is even trying on AI. But there is still time to change the one thing they have direct control on to inform AI Answers.

@j12t.orgIt implies that there are other technologies that aren't for oligarchs. Technologies for the rest of us, that empower us and not oligarchs. Of course many of us have been saying this for decades. But has been a fringe movement. I wonder whether it is about to get moved into the mainstream. 2/2
@j12t.orgFascinating that Paul Krugman describes AI as "technology of, by and for oligarchs".
@j12t.orgAlways nice to see your code working, even if it is a trivial gimmick: the hourglass countdown to next week's FediForum now has most of the sand in the bottom glass.

@j12t.orgSilicon Valley.
@j12t.orgInvest in us, invest in us, so we have the money we need to further increase the risk to wipe out humanity!
@j12t.orgAnd we thought Meta was a social media company.
@j12t.org... it's really important for the (un-?)organizers of an un-conference to not define too much of the agenda, otherwise sooner or later it becomes a regular "everybody listen to me" conference and we have too many of those already. Maybe I can run 2 sessions?
@j12t.orgIt's the time before #FediForum when I wish I was merely an attendee, not an organizer.
As an attendee, I would run soo many sessions, because there are soo many things I want to discuss and brainstorm with you all, and make progress on.
But...
@j12t.orgThat is unfortunately true in my experience as well.

@j12t.orgOne of these days a major company is going to go under because the amount of vibe-coded code they have is so unsurmountable and unmaintainable, business comes to a full stop.
Who is with me on this?
@j12t.orgWell, the propaganda seems to have been a major cause — but in very different directions.
@j12t.orgAnd then Die Linke is down 33% in one state (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) and up 100% in another (Berlin) not too far away. How?
@j12t.orgLooking at election results in Germany, I’m quite bewildered. First, the magnitude of changes in party support. 50%+ increase and decrease for some parties in one election cycle? Does this ever happen, anywhere? How? And today is the second time in which that happened recently.
