whenever I encounter interoperability I am envious of the people who thought it worthwhile to invest the time to get what must've taken lots of paperwork and approvals, because so much of my time in federal service was people just saying no to shit all the time

good point

I did however, add this rad 60s cover of All Shook Up from Thailand youtu.be/k9uLI_ioNjw?...

In most design you have a very small circle of what the product is expected to do. With LLMs you have a very wide circle that you try to limit as best as you can. Understanding this will tell you why it is risky to implement into systems that need precise circles.

well and eventually seeing themselves helping not just being a consumer. churches et al are full of people keeping the lights on literally. that gets obscured in a culture that's so invested in "showing up and being served"

Lots of people would be open, but feel inadaquate & having more structures to help sustain, support and collaborate would make the infrastructure of community orgs a lot easier to maintain.
