Was it Cory Doctorow who noted that the only way to stop a system being corrupted is to design it to be impossible to corrupt from the outset? AI involves surrendering a HUGE amount of power, and expecting no operator ever to surrender to the temptation to tweak it for their own benefit is ludicrous

Yes I believe it was indeed Cory Doctorow @pluralistic who noted this. As I recall, he called building in those restraints "Ulysses Pacts" to prevent #enshittification.

The first post I can find in which he coined the term is this:

pluralistic.net/2021/02/15/uly…

Followed by numerous later writings:

pluralistic.net/tag/ulysses-pa…

Maybe @pluralistic can confirm the origins of this concept for us? 😅

I do wonder if an effective Ulysses Pact could ever be designed for an #AI business...

I hadn't a spoon myself so cheers to We Distribute for the reflection. @hello

Celebrate community, agency, independence and artists' direct voices and choices, not clout cannons, gatekeepers, curators and skimmers.

Be wary of where you put your art and patronage. We need platforms that work for artist needs, not making artists work for platforms.

Stay weird, stay wild. Demand better of platforms or kick them to the kerb. Lift each other up and punch upwards friends.

We should as always continue to do our best to as directly as possible support our creative siblings as amiably as we can wherever we as artists can manage to be.

Seek change to build voices, don't shout them down.

We don't have to and shouldn't agree with every single platform and tool out there. Minimise harm where you can and do demand and celebrate good attribution and support paths.

Together we've proven it makes a huge difference being as direct and durable as possible.

Community building is hard.

Being positive in this timeline and tech climate is brutally hard.

Although the hamster is retiring from positive instigator, please continue where you can in your circles to support and uplift one another.

Same goes for advocacy, research, quietly testing of all the things out there competing for oxygen. We can be vigilant for each other and offer assists to those who ask AND warn when things smell off.

Be safe. Protect our voices.
🐹 ❤️

Last month was the 2nd warmest December on record globally. The largest anomalies were found this month across portions of the Arctic, which also observed the lowest December sea-ice extent on record.

This how trade-based society works, i will clean my name by the expense of all planet. I look clean, because i was able to export a huge amount of oil and gas- I am a good boy?? Retarded society 🤣
Still obvious origin of the problem is not seen.

Unlike just about every other year in the satellite-era record of sea ice by early January, the Hudson Bay (Canada) still hasn't frozen over... Not good.

A #HappyNewYear to all of my @Mastodon followers! Thank you for a year of thoughtful interactions and the privilege to communicate science here. Honestly, my advice is to just leave Twitter behind. Anyhoo, cheers to 2025!
