If you can export/import the conversations you've had with an "AI", does this count as "Personal #AI portability"?

The final #XoXo was a great experience. Sad to see it go. (There is a great opportunity for somebody to pick up the torch!! I would come.)

Most surprising, and gratifying for myself: about half of the people I mentioned it to had heard of #FediForum. The word must be spreading!!

To state the blindingly obvious here, the new Social Media Lab at Harvard's Berkman Klein center really needs to have "follow" options other than Twitter and Instagram.

@j12t lol yes I'm working on it. Also trying to get us more of a website

“Daydreaming is the opposite of doom scrolling.” #xoxo

Johannes Ernst

She got a standing ovation, and deservedly so.

Johannes Ernst

The talk by @kissane just now at #xoxofest has been one of the best talks I've heard in a long while. I hope it was recorded and can be shared more widely after the event.

Andy McMillan

@j12t It was! We'll have it up in a few weeks.

Dave Peck

@j12t Did she speak about her recent Fedi governance drop? I’m reading through it now (slowly!) and feel like it’s essential work for any nerd like me building in this space. Would love to watch the talk if it’s recorded.

Johannes Ernst

The one thing we all need more than anything else is a credible, realistic, exciting, lovable vision for the future. #xoxo #xoxofest

Johannes Ernst

Wondering where the #xoxo community is going now that #xoxofest is ending. What other events are there (still) that bring similar communities together?

Johannes Ernst

Watching a demo of animations that people created with CSS only on cohost. The evidence is clear that I don’t know CSS. #xoxo #xoxofest

Scott Jenson

@j12t Very few people *really* understand CSS... I love it, but it can be a lot, especially for high end use cases. The ramp from obvious to wtf is incredibly short.

@j12t CAA Crimes was such a wild talk, absolutely one of my favorite of #XOXOFEST

Johannes Ernst

Glad I brought my sweater. And there are sometimes some wet drops that fall out of the sky. Clearly Portland is not California. #xoxo

Marveling, as so often, how it is that while #covid numbers are as high as they are, maybe just 2 out of every 100 people at the airport and on the plane wear a mask.

In the grand scheme of things, just how much bother is a mask, in comparison?

Johannes Ernst

Glad that both events i have been going to this month — #dwebcamp and #xoxo — have sensible #covid policies.

Johannes Ernst

XOXO, here I come.

Looking forward to meeting like-minded people. Reach out and say Hi 🙂

One of the best features of the Apple ecosystem is cross-device copy-paste.

I don't know what exactly triggers it, but it works more often than not, and it soooo beats doing an brief ssh connection (which, with a firewall, takes a bit of work to set up) or, heavens forbid, a USB stick.

P.S. Is there something similar in open-source land? (Not a trivial project)

The Economist: "A growing number of investors worry that artificial intelligence (#AI) will not deliver the vast profits they seek... A growing number of observers now question the limitations of large language models, which power services such as ChatGPT... according to the latest data from the Census Bureau, only 4.8% of American companies use ai to produce goods and services, down from a high of 5.4% early this year..."

A great quote from @timbray :

“So I think the #Fediverse is actually existentially important to the quality and success of human discourse—and it’s by a wide margin I think the most interesting thing that’s going on in the whole human-oriented technology landscape.”

Yep! From fediverse-governance.github.io

Johannes Ernst

“Non-centralized” as opposed to “decentralized” … because it didn’t start out centralized… interesting #fediverse framing in fediverse-governance.github.io
