Btw, Kosmos Kredits are coming along nicely, meaning we'll also have a transparent, decentralized way to sustainably fund community infra.

We always need contributors. Wanna talk about it in person?

Prototype Fund application rejected. All the more reason to double down on Kosmos, so community chat infrastructure can compete with Slack.

Panem et circenses all around. Basic income is more panem, because the ratio is a bit heavy on circenses at the moment, so plebs are angry.
In "democratic" neo-feudalism, people are making fun of each other's preferred rulers on social media, pretending to have a say in things.
You know summer has arrived when you're hacking on the balcony at 8pm, with the sun out, cider on the table, and listening to Eek-A-Mouse.

Wanted: browser extension which lets me inline-search for URLs and directly link them in MediaWiki and Markdown fields in the browser.

Had a great time cycling to OpenTechSummit and back with @jancborchardt@mastodon.social yesterday. Realized I should do way more social rides.
Anyone else in Berlin into cycling (fast-ish), and interested in a group ride this weekend or sometime next week?

A lot of degrees of freedom for the algorithm to develop strategies within a framework motivated by human decision-making ... not quite "Human-like AI" imo but still great at playing Go
Yeah, I haven't seen actual intelligence so far. And currently everyone and their mother calls their rigid voice input/bot interfaces AI.
Child's play. Computers have been better than us at finite tree games for ages. As they get more powerful they can go down the trees faster. No big deal.
Real intelligence will be inferencing across the whole web. Not just the googleweb. The shared web, your personal web, the public web and content. And tailoring an optimal web experience for you. Actually for your brain chemistry.
This is not tree based thinking. It's graph based. Where every statement on the web is a peer and yields a first order logic of productions and new inferences. These inferences become highly connected by spontaneously linking to other inferences and forming new unexpected structures. True intelligence is an emergent property from highly connected systems. It cannot be made in a lab.
Yes indeed. The web of logic will blow you mind. Here's a taster :
I largely agree, but I wouldn't say "child's play" about this one. Go numbers are so large that calculating solutions isn't enough to win a game. That's why chess is a completely solved game, but Go has been and continues to be a game where human intuition (i.e. human intelligence) has an edge over computers.
Sure, it's a very big tree. And also the style of play is quite zen-like and counter intuitive. With chess you have a rough points system that normally lets you know where you are, with go it's alot harder because everything can change so fast. But that simply means you need to discover. or auto discover new metrics for scoring. Seems they've done that. Dont get me wrong, it's quite a feat. But it remains a narrow rule based topic which is where computers tend to excel. When the rules are thrown out the window and order needs to emerge from chaos using feedback loops (ie similar to Darwinian evolution) then you'll get whole new branches of problem solving and even problem spaces. ie the solution to games without a rule book, will make what came before seem primitive.
Amen. :)

Started using Mastodon/The Fediverse™ on April 6. Less than two months later, Twitter feels like a cheap, ad-ridden cable TV channel.
Played around with Mycroft this weekend. Unfortunately, its skill set leaves a lot to be desired for me, and responses are awfully slow. But seems like a good basis. And hey, it's all open source, so nothing to complain about really.
