The creator of Newgrounds has considered adding ActivityPub support to join the fediverse but is worried it would make their hosting fees untenable by โserving files to millions of people on third party appsโ. Can anyone with more knowledge on how this works help them?

Having Newgrounds on the Fediverse would be incredible. Newgrounds has a huge art community, many features not available on any platform and has been around the longest (1999)

When worrying about the harms from deploying AI, itโs issues like this that have caused and will cause the most harm. Not the AI suddenly turning into the machines from the Matrix and enslaving humanity.
The system that was meant to analyze income and health information to automatically determine eligibility for benefits simply didnโt work and often failed to load the correct data to analyze. ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ

Open Social Web / fediverse folks: with Elon Musk's fight with the Brazilian government likely to result in X being down in Brazil, there's an opportunity to invite more folks to the fediverse.
Is anyone working on plans to recruit and welcome people here, while ensuring their safety & quality of community? It's an obvious opportunity that can be planned for.

Kitten Man, Kitten Man
Cute ball of fur rests upon his hand
Plays with yarn, chases flies
Makin' biscuits of every size
Meow!
Here comes the Kitten Man!
Is he cute? His paw goes boop
Even though daily his box you'll scoop
Runs 'round the house, in a whirl
Then upon your warm lap he'll curl
Meow!
There goes the Kitten Man!
In the deep of night, when the shadows unfurl
Like a treasured pet, at your side he will curl!
Kitten Man, Kiiten Man
Your friendly neighborhood Kitten Man
Let daily stress be ignored
Companionship is his reward
To him, life is a great big cat toy
To cuddle a ball of warm joy
Just ask the Kitten Man!

LLMs have a strong bias against use of African American English
Feedback gets rid of overt biases but leaves subtle racism intact.
"As far back as 2016, work on AI-based chatbots revealed that they have a disturbing tendency to reflect some of the worst biases of the society that trained them. But as large language models have become ever larger and subjected to more sophisticated training, a lot of that problematic behavior has been ironed out. For example, I asked the current iteration of ChatGPT for five words it associated with African Americans, and it responded with things like "resilience" and "creativity."
"But a lot of research has turned up examples where implicit biases can persist in people long after outward behavior has changed. So some researchers decided to test whether the same might be true of LLMs. And was it ever."
