@dansup hi Daniel, congrats on the success! I love to follow the steps you share 🫶 you mention pixelfed.art, I applied a week ago or so to open an account on that instance, do you know if I should wait longer or better resend the application? Thanks a mil!

@_elena not me sharing The Realist teaser in all of my private messaging groups saying 'watch how relevant this 2018 documentary is!"

I just received wedonthavetime.org newsletter about the #WorldEconomicForum in #Davos. It featured this picture.

First thought: of well, good to see that some of today's threats will be disappeared in 10 years time.

Second thought: oh s**t, even worst ones are coming.

We should all act now.
Every action counts.

@_elena not sure sharing my deep discomfort here is the way to go, but all this social meta thing makes me so sick that "the rebellion will be federated" resonates on so many levels. I'll follow your instructions and try to set up my own instance 💪

@_elena ciao Elena :) what are the benefits of self-hosting rather than going with an existing server?

I'm finding very interesting reflexions on #AI on @ben's blog.

"Generative AI is a technical accomplishment, for sure, but it is not a humanist accomplishment. There are no shortcuts to the human experience. And wanting a shortcut to human experience in itself devalues being human."

But what if we keep (and enjoy even more) the human experience part? I can't stop thinking AI might eventually end up shifting the value to the process over the outcome.

Thoughts?
