Jack Clark’s Import AI newsletter is always fun; this one especially because it explores the shared interest Meta and the CCP have in preventing fine-tuning of their models.

In a “Palantír”-level irony, one of the projects to prevent all further learning is called SOPHON. https://open.substack.com/pub/importai/p/import-ai-371-ccp-vs-finetuning-why?r=62esl&utm_medium=ios

If you’d like to make it possible for people to follow you from Bluesky — and you’re in a domain that permits it — all you have to do is follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy.

I think these connections have the potential to strengthen everyone. We need critical mass!

This is a test to see if a message posted in the Fediverse can automatically be forwarded to Bluesky via Bridgyfed:

As a rough estimate, how often do you navigate to a website or individual page by directly typing its URL (including browser URL bar autocomplete)?

@simon Hi Simon. On a loosely related topic, Bridgyfed is working now and you have fans over in Bluesky who would happily follow you there if you just hit follow on @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. I know you already have an account there, but this might be easier than cross-posting?
