I really love (and believe in) this comment from Ploum:

\n

It might have been an email thread. Or a lobste.rs comment. It was a discussion about yet another attempt at a new decentralized social protocol. And we reached the conclusion that with blogs and email, we already had a decentralized social network. We only needed to use it.

I enjoy reading blogs, and sending emails to the authors. I do it frequently, and have done for a long time. It feels… right.

NYT: ‘Meta Delays Rollout of New AI Model After Performance Concerns’:

\n

The difference between Meta and Apple might be that Meta is merely a few months away from rolling out its own best-of-breed AI model. But the difference could be that Meta has blown hundreds of billions of dollars pursuing their own frontier models, and Apple has not, and both just license Gemini from Google.
