estebanknobl, I just finished "Protocols, Not Platforms" by @mmasnick. Great read. Interoperability is key to the future of social media, as it was (and still is) to the Internet and many other technologies.

mpesce, LLaMA-2 - the 13 billion parameter model - seems to be quite good. Maybe not GPT-4 level, but certainly far better than the previous version. If #Meta keeps up, they may play the ultimate disruptor in AI.
Which is a weird thing to consider.
remixtures, Portuguese #SocialMedia #Twitter #Musk #ContentModeration #HateSpeech #Advertising: "Elon Musk's Twitter acquisition, and the series of content policy changes that ensued, has led to a dramatic spike in hateful, violent and inaccurate posts on the platform, according to researchers. That's now the top challenge for Twitter's new Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino, who has to address advertisers’ concerns about the trend in order to boost revenue and pay back the company's debts.
Musk and Yaccarino have touted updates to the site’s policies, such as letting advertisers prevent their posts from showing up next to certain kinds of content. Still, advertising sales are down by half since Musk took control of the company in October, he said this week. That’s in part because businesses don’t believe there has been significant progress in resolving the problem."

YoSoyFreeman, Spanish So #Meta has released it's new AI model. They claim is ethical and #opensource. Well, i don't think this is going to be a huge surprise for nobody, but contrary to the claims, it is not open source, is not ethical (They say, literally, that is ethical because it does not use meta users data... But it steal it from other places) and the licensing is just so chaotic that i have serious doubts it would hold in court. Read the paper, if you are willing to be treated like an idiot.
buermann, I don't see how #Meta's #fediverse integration could be anything other than an embrace-and-extend attack by a genocidal network monopoly with an exquisitely detailed history of disrupting competition before it can start.
Might be fun for a little bit then they'll draw the trap shut same way they did with RSS and every private acquisition since. Aside their already totalizing enshittification they're too poorly moderated to avoid server bans if the admins care about anything other than money.

couka, French SFR, par le biais de sa filiale Isère Fibre, n'a pas fini le travail et n'a pas mis en place les supports sur les poteaux téléphoniques pour tirer la fibre du PBO jusqu'à notre maison.
Pas vraiment étonné, mais toujours déçu. J'attendais pas mieux de SFR.
Je comprends pas comment le département a pu accepter de céder le déploiement de la fibre à cette entreprise suite au RIP.

J12t,
mookie, When promotions are set on metrics that can be gamed… Things go sideways. Unfortunately, there have been thousands of people at #Meta that have been impacted these bad metrics setup by management.
osi, Some news from #Meta releasing LLaMA2 with a license that allows some commercial use.
Keyword is some.
Don't confuse a limited concession to enter a garden by a gatekeeper with a true common. Open Source has a precise meaning that includes all commercial use, don't let that meaning be diluted.

JustCodeCulture, Insightful editorial about Black Twitter by its foremost expert/thought leader Prof. Andre Brock
"Black Twitter serves as a potent example of Black digital expertise, one that de-centers whiteness as a default internet identity."
What's next for BT? (Brock's apt analogy)
"Think of Musk’s ownership as similar to a building’s management by a slumlord.."
