Digital preservation isn’t just about saving content. It’s about maintaining access and control.
People and blogs involved with and about the IndieWeb community, the fediverse, and/or the open web in general.
The photo search in Micro.blog for Mac has gotten really good. I don’t think there’s anything like this in other blogging platforms. Screenshot of “coffee” search for my blog. (Similar interface on the web too. Works best with AI enabled so we can generate keywords for everything.)
Today's editorial about AI
AI chatbots don't think and they don't decide. They can give you a way to approach a problem, but it's only one way, and it depends on it actually understanding the problem, which is something it does a good simulation of. But it absolutely cannot think, come up with a strat...

Tonight I had *three* false alarms where dog walkers picking up their dog poop from the driveway set off the siren. I feel bad when people who pick up after their dog set off the alarm because I'm glad they are being responsible! But also tonight I had two people wander in, one smoking something and the other stealing some trash.
Five alarms in one night was enough for me to attempt to fix this.

Bias in centralized AI
In the Grok fallout, Mike Masnick makes the case for moving away from large, centralized AI. He asks a range of great questions about bias in AI:
After a similar incident two months or so ago where Grok became obsessed with linking everything to white genocide, the company ...

The biggest problem with ChatGPT is that it thinks it's running the show. I've just given it instructions to think of itself as a command line that can understand English. Just answer the question exactly as asked.

Next time there's a Big Beautiful Bill, let's set up a ChatGPT project or equivalent to injest new versions of the bill as they come out, and quickly alert us to issues, and also suggest ways to frame it for the electorate and the press. We have new analytical tools, we should use them. We're only now, far after it's too late, finding out the awful things that the BBB going to do to us. The Repubs planned this out far in advance. They probably even had software tools to advise them on ways to word the bill as the changes were negotiated.
