I've realized we don't have a lot of time left to ship orders before Christmas, and the sample of the new "Live laugh federate" pin might take a few more days to arrive at my home for product shots, so I've put it up on the shop with the picture the manufacturer took for me. This is the last new product this year.

RE: fedi.lynnesbian.space/@lynnesbโฆ
holy shit.
so for YEARS i've thought that google maps just spoke in a really stilted voice for everyone.
turns out it was just because both my and pet's midrange phones were too slow. for basic speech synthesis.
i got a new high end phone today and it just speaks fluently. instead of "in two hundred metres. at the roundabout. take the... first... exit." it's just "in two hundred metres, at the roundabout, take the first exit."
gooooOOOOGGLLLLLEEEE!!!

AI doesn't have to be run only by and for a few enormous companies.
Just out from Metagov! A digital zine listing the MANY ways that people are trying to make AI more governable, accountable, and community-controlled: metagov.org/cg-ai/
None of the examples is perfect of course. But the more people build self-governed stacks anywhere, the easier it becomes everywhere.
While the Apertus model may not reach an ideal standard, it does far exceed the standards of compliance we see from commercial "labs." That helps spur a race to the top.
Finally, note that the document does suggest collective deliberation about appropriate uses, implying a call for collectively restricting uses that do not contribute to the common good.
In reality, however, I'm not sure how much traction that proposal will find. People are embracing these things in their lives, and I don't think the genie is headed back into the bottle anytime soon.

I guess a few niche use cases of the discussion system exist, like going back to a book you paused reading few years ago and having it give you a summary, or starting a book, wondering "have I read it before", and asking AI if this is the book where X does Y.
But I suspect the "reading recommendation system that suggests similar books based on your selection" will get used more.
