A little proof of concept I've been working on, it's a version of Bluesky that you can run locally, even on your laptop, that pulls just the data you care about from the firehose, indexes it, and provides you an interface to view and interact with posts.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Most of us know that LLMs, VLMs, foundation models etc. are just statistical language models trained in big data and that they neither have emerged capabilities nor are they able to really reason.

the field of computer vision refers to people as "objects," and you're the outlier if you find this questionable/unsettling
What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
You absolutely can lie via data & math & everything about how you present data is an argument for how to interpret/understand it
Everything we know is founded on best guesses & analogies
All technoscience is enmeshed with human values
