I like the idea behind CC Signals but it needs to ship a prototype soon.

The mechanism is not the issue. I think the expression of author intent is really important!

For Web resources, we have the AI preferences from IETF:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-aipref-attach-05

But, of course, Free Software doesn't just come from one website. It's made to be spread around. It would be good to have some sort of AI prefs expressed in the package itself, no matter where it is.

@cwebber that's very interesting!

I'm not sure your licenses apply to training LLMs; it's not clear to me that copyright governs the training process.

I know you think differently; that a license attaches like a spell to the bits and bytes, no matter how small the excerpt or how varied the rearrangement.

Is it OK to use walled garden social media to promote the Fediverse?

@stinerman @thegame yes

@stinerman @thegame I wish! Unfortunately I mean this one:

Also I just lost @thegame

Please join @thegame if you want to be notified any time someone on the Fediverse loses The Game

@ryanl The stakes are very low

@stuartl obviously.

@somecanuckchick very good questions!

How many things can you carry?

@pluralistic WHAT

Personal computers were introduced around 1975 and were widespread in offices by 1985. The Internet was widely available by 1995.

Yes, there was a cohort of people who grew up and became adults without Internet-connected computers in their lives. Those people are dead. Baby Boomers in their 70s, 80s and 90s used networked PCs 40 years ago.

The idea that grandmas and grandpas, much less parents and aunts and uncles, are inexperienced with technology is obsolete and meaningless. Enough already.

@virtuous_sloth @mrdk yes, I'd probably say something like, "Of all the people who've ever had ActivityPub accounts, how many are still available today," or something similar.

@smallcircles @mrdk I wonder what the implications you read into the poll that made you think that single-user servers shouldn't count. What do you think it is "really" asking, or should be really asking?

@smallcircles @mrdk Also, I ask the questions I want answers to. I don't like being told by other people what questions I should ask. If *you* want to ask some different question, you should definitely do it! Let me know, and I'll boost it.

@smallcircles @mrdk why?
