We need to be really clear: the bonkers part of OpenAI circa a week ago was not that a nonprofit was involved. That model works fineโthink companies from Bosch to Zeiss: purpose-economy.org/en/file/36โฆ
The bonkers part is the utter disconnection between the purpose and the pragmatics, and that the purpose was in the hands of unaccountable ideologues. Now it is in the hands of unaccountable pragmatists.
So what would a better kind of accountability look like?
How about to those workers, who know the tech better than anyone? Ginkgo Bioworks, for instance, has invested both in a strong culture of employee ethics and in a controlling stake for employee stock. It's a public company.
We need ethical governance for powerful technologies. But not unaccountable-elite governance.
There are SO MANY better options than OpenAI last week or OpenAI this week. Don't make the mistake of getting caught up in those.
Man, a Zeiss for public-interest AI would be amazeballs.
So much badness flows from the desire for massive up-front investment and rapid early growth.

Day 6: Ten Days, Ten Films.
This is a lot of fun! So long as I donโt make this too hard or too easy!
Over ten days you pick an image from a film without any title to give away where it is from, so that people can guess. You can also nominate others to do the same. That way more people are in on the game! (or notโyour choice ๐ )
But remember: NO SPOILERS! If you recognise a film, donโt say what it is! Say something that indicates you know, but allows others to guess as well. Your messages then become helpful hints!

I'm struggling to get into (i.e. understand ) #socialcoop governance. Not that I have tried very hard... I haven't seen an opportunity where it's clearly useful for me to dig in.
I could really use more stories.
Is there a good presentation (video recording) of the organization as a whole?
Is the origin story written down? The story of why the org was created and why it's growing.
and while I saw lots of little pieces of the decision happen, I don't know the overall story arc.
I don't even know what the decision was, where it's recorded, nor the governance structure through which it emerged.
The analog of the "I'm just a bill..." song but not for U.S. legislation but for #socialcoop decisions.
@dckc yeah, check out these resources:
wiki.social.coop/wiki/How_to_Mโฆ
wiki.social.coop/wiki/Make_a_pโฆ
Do those help at all?
yes... let's see... origin story: check:
> Social.coop was founded in 2017 in the wake of the BuyTwitter campaign.
I think I learned that at some point but forgot.
What does TKTK DATE mean? that the wiki page has the text of the agreement but the executed agreement is elsewhere?
> Ratified TKTK DATE in solidarity,
>
> Platform 6 Co-operative, Ltd.

> Social.coop
I think part of my struggle was a vaguely negative impression of loomio.
I think I ran into "access denied" many times... I think because I had let something lapse.
Anyway... that seems sorted now.
The daily email digests are pretty overwhelming, though.
Is there a way to participate *in between* just being a user of the hosted fediverse server and reading every message on loomio?
Any recommended way to get up to speed on current events?

@dckc great point. We are currently moving toward a more focused governance model. But still, our model is pretty centered on assuming people will step up and participate. We should be more intentional about guiding members' attention. (I am writing a paper on that now!)
Now I think we are caught in a trap where the leaders are the people who stepped up to lead, and they don't sympathize enough with those who haven't similarly stepped up.
does social.coop have any regular rhythms? Weekly / monthly get-togethers?
I see a diagram with a future section with office hours and quarterly meetings. Is that future here at all yet?

Robinson Meyer at Heatmap does a decent job of connecting the dots between the OpenAI governance meltdown to the larger paradoxes of nonprofit board governance and how that affects social movements.
- yeah, that's my take too. It's a good critique of general nonprofit governance. And it's right.
Governance is one of the world's most pressing issues. Despite its many problems, Web3 has a lot of interesting experiments (e.g.: medium.com/block-science/introโฆ). This is where most of the interesting innovation is happening right now.

Thanks for sharing this. I totally agree that the Skocpol analysis is super importantโthe shift from community accountability to board accountability.
But to be clear, the upshot of Skocpol is NOT OpenAI; it is that the accountability shifts from stakeholders to funders. If you're on a normal nonprofit board (I am on several), you are sailing on a very narrow tack, trying to keep funders, employees, and other allies happy.
@gideonro @thinkling In that sense, I think the problems would be best understood as:
- OpenAI is a nonprofit with an unusual misalignment between its economics and its mission; usually the two are much more aligned through mission-focused funders
- Nonprofits in general usually have the problem of being overly accountable to funders because they are beholden to a constant flow of short-term grants

frio theme - Service Unavailable
Hi there @Friendica Support
just changed on this profile to FRIO as VIER seems to basically not perform the basic functions.

ยฟHi there @Friendica Developers, can you please take the theme VIER immediately out of the branches stable and RC!
It doesn't even display the [abstract] bbCode properly and right now literally I have no clue how many hours of my life I spend the last month documenting bugs that might be just because that theme doesn't work.
My mind is raging and I just jumped out of the window, lucky me that I live on ground level so every thing is fine as of now, but please, this is disheartening!
thx
