A pivotal moment for Europe is here.

We are ready to mobilise up to €800 billion to help EU countries increase defence spending.

We'll present our proposals to all EU leaders at today's European Council meeting.

Europe is resolved to assume its responsibilities ↓

I suspect that a new folklore of dealing with all manner of autonomous agents may come to exist. William Gibson wrote about how autonomous ai online started for one purpose go on to act somewhat like Jinn..

This depends on building more things on the protocol which given the data set is absolutely worth it

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

It’s so nice to be at the stage of a lifetime of a platform when everyone mostly agrees the people running it are working hard and doing a good job. Let’s enjoy that while we can!

First fly to Finland now Sweden. This quarter is apparently β€œNordic noir” themed…

Now we gaze upon the virgin fields of new social interactions, like the old days bored. Like before the dark times. Let’s make a starter pack for non grifter crypto Twitter !

The open API also means we could explore how things like the role of specific nodal accounts in that growth!

Tech people didn’t break the world, we just gave it the tools to break itself. Don’t worry though, we are going to fix it with more technology! :)

We know from milgrim’s work that it’s sadly not so simple.

When you argue with a clown. The crowd only sees you as a clown as well: truth is a brittle thing. ( agree with you btw)

A lot of the positions people like RFK jr. take (anti-vax, anti-pasteurization etc.) get described as β€œcontroversial.”

They’re not. There is no controversy. This is long-settled science. The correct term is β€œstupid.”

It’s also about rebellion against people they perceive as being too overtly controlling. People hate feeling like they have lost agency.

It’s the famous halting problem, you have to keep shouting β€œhalt! Who computes there?” If you want an accurate number. It’s voice activated, just try it.

What about the creative value of humans paired with AI. At the end of the day the value of art has long since divorced from the difficulty of producing it anyway.

The future of this platform will likely depend on the feature velocity of the blue sky time, hope they don’t fumble it!

Empathy isn’t dead, it isn’t lost. It will return to our discourse eventually, because it’s ultimately useful.

That’s fascinating. What’s your view on the differences in degree of effect when information is delivered conversationally say by an agent vs read in mass media?
