CC Signals: A New Social Contract for the Age of AI - Creative Commons
TL;DR – What are CC signals? CC signals are a proposed framework to help content stewards express how they want their works used in AI training—emphasizing reciprocity, recognition, and sustainability in machine reuse. They aim to preserve open knowledge by encouraging responsible AI behavior without limiting innovation. 💗Love it! How can I show my support?…

Infoseepage@mastodon.social - Today I walked into Perth and visited the Scottish Geographic Society's digs in the Fair Maid's House.  It was, in its heyday, a sort of Scottish adventurers club.

If a starting date is mentioned in an academic job posting, and if the job involves teaching, which customarily follows a specific calendar, I’d have thought that it’s rather obvious that there are reasons for this particular starting date.

The hype about the potentials (it’s always future potential, never real current use) of AI has discarded its last cycle (“reasoning models”/”deep research”, both terms being factually untrue and deeply deceiving at best) and moved to a new double whammy of “agentic AI” and “Vibe Coding”. Now “agentic AI” basically just means that some LLM […]

(wanted to write a bit about CC and open licenses and shit but I had minor surgery this morning so I probably can't get my thoughts in line. Let's hope tomorrow has fewer painkillers.)

I am planning on moving my shit away from Notion.
The whole "2nd Brain" thing does not work for me (it just gives me busywork instead of doing something useful) so what I am looking for
- self-hostable
- should have a web interface I can use from any machine without installation
-I need "tasks", "projects" that contain tasks and "notes" (ideally optionally connected to projects and/or tasks)
- boards for tasks
- mobile …

From CreativeCommons with their "signals" to the OSI with their "open source AI" fiasco it seems that the stewards of the legal structures protecting the digital commons are not on the side of people actually wanting to contribute to the commons for humanity. (Maybe they never were.)
If those organizations don't reorient themselves to align with people's needs maybe we need to fork.
