    What are folks’ favorite Google Maps #alternatives these days? In particular, I’d like to tag different sorts of locations (like restaurants I like and ones I want to try) and then be able to share with friends. #AskFedi #DWeb #BoostsAppreciated

    Can you #help me? I feel like I&amp;#39;ve seen a post a few times #OnHere that&amp;#39;s a link to a blogpost or site that&amp;#39;s a manifesto on why you should have a personal site/blog outside of social media. But I can&amp;#39;t remember what it was called or the URL!! UPDATE: incredibly, @stefan identified the one I was thinking of, almost immediately! https://nora.zone/manifesto.html Thank you thank you (and thanks @nora for writing it)

    Asking for a friend: What’s a good way for a regular person to contribute to archival efforts? I know when I was living in SF, the @internetarchive had #volunteer slots for scanning media, but any ideas that would be good for someone in Florida or Texas? Thanks!! 🙏 #Archives #DigitalPreservation #PhysicalPreservation

    Any #HistoryOfTechnology folks out there? I’m trying to learn more about the history of electrification (aka the widespread adoption of electricity or construction of infrastructure outside of, like, funky inventors-in-labs types of things). In my mind, the early demonstrations of public usefulness were for electric lighting, but I am learning that the telegraph may have even earlier driven infrastructure investments. Do you know more? Or have recommendations on where to look? I’d love to learn!

    It is DONE! One year ago, I set out to pull together my reflections and answers to the question “how do I get into #AI #policy?” This week, I finished the final installment. The series has five parts: 🧠 Mindset 👁️ Be perceived 💬 Be the reply guy you want to see in the world ⏳ Don’t wait to do the work 🏆 Pay it forward (don’t skip this!) I’m so grateful to everyone who came on this journey with me. Thank you. 💖 #IHopeWeAllMakeIt https://posts.bcavello.com/how-to-get-into-ai-policy-part-5/

    Proud to finally share my team’s work on the “#AI race with #China!” This transatlantic effort explores: 🥇 What does it look like for AI #competition with China to be a competition worth winning? 🦾 In what ways can we compete to enhance domestic thriving in addition to geopolitical positioning? 🗽 How can we compete THROUGH our values rather than taking actions that compete with them? https://www.aspendigital.org/report/strategic-reorientation-on-ai-competition-with-china/

    Please help get the word out to our #PublicService friends who were working in the #FederalGovernment: Some friends and I created this site to track the impacts of the #Trump Admin&amp;#39;s attack on the federal service. https://trumpcostsamerica.com/ Right now, we&amp;#39;re tracking jobs lost, but we aim to track downstream consequences for communities. Please get in touch with me if you&amp;#39;d like to help!

    How can we ensure that #AI is ACTUALLY helpful for the BIG challenges we face, like #ClimateChange and #WorldHunger? We need to listen to the experts who understand these problems best! https://www.aspendigital.org/event/food-security-and-ai/ That&amp;#39;s why #AspenDigital is surveying people about food systems and nutrition security to identify the challenges and strategies that matter most to making real progress on these pressing issues. Do you know a #FoodSecurity expert? Tag them or share...

    If we&amp;#39;re going to build #AI at all, it&amp;#39;d BETTER BE to do good, to empower people, &amp;amp; to help us solve the most important problems that face humanity and our planet! I am seeking input from #FoodSystems and #FoodSecurity practitioners by Sept 30 to help build that future: https://www.aspendigital.org/feeding-the-future #UNGA #SDG2 #CommunityAlignedAI #Benchmarks

    Lots of people talking about AI, not nearly enough people talking about private equity. #PrivateEquityKills

    The fine folks at #Wikimedia are running a survey on the use of #generativeAI in #GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) and #education sectors and it would be great to get more input! Boosts appreciated 💖 https://forms.office.com/e/MjvHAUBTAG

    Question for #Blind and maybe also #LowVision folks: are there any #VideoGames or #mobile #games that are particularly good? Is there a blind game design scene? I know there are tactile dice and things for some tabletop RPGs and things. While I’m especially curious about digital or video games, I’d also love to hear about more analog examples that are great! #askFedi #BoostsAppreciated
