A bunch of us are working to advance #PublicAI: AI that is publicly accountable, accessible, and sustainable. A lot of us are interested in local-first, community-governed, and more open models of what this technology could be.
We welcome allies in the @publicai.network!

People care for more about being seen — feeling seen, in the case of sharing a fake but funny video or bit that generates affect — than being accurate or “right”. We misapply our nerd obsession with enlightenment values of truth onto people who just want to boogie.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.
