Uh oh. This looks bad. OpenAI will pay those who create the most engaging GPT's. This makes their incentives very close to those of social media—capturing attention. This could get dystopian very fast. (What alternatives can we propose?)

Hi everyone. We’re raising money for @opendemocracyru’s survival at the moment. We’ve already raised £50,000 from private donors, but to get it, we need your help – and that means every £/$/€ you give us is effectively doubled. support.opendemocracy.net/odr-crowdfunder


Supporting unions everywhere. They appear to be coming more active, as things become more desperate... foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/amaz…

Hi everyone. @opendemocracyru needs your help :) We're asking you to help support us with whatever you can afford. Honestly, every pound/euro/dollar will make a real difference to our coverage of Russia's war against Ukraine. 🧵

If I say something along the lines of "the left should embrace crypto" this does not mean that I'm saying you should buy bitcoin instead of joining a union or something asinine like that just to take it more seriously as a tool like any other

"Blockchain may redefine the Web – it’s up to us to make sure it’s done well". Excellent provocation from @lottiland

Is blockchain neoliberalism’s new best friend? “Crypto” could change everything but we can turn its financial framing and tools to social advantage, explains @lottiland opendemocracy.net/en/digitaliber…

It is exhilarating to see projects we have supported start to be in the world. This is an example of a simple idea that produces a solid prototype that as an open project has exponential potential application. Fantastic work.

wrote this for @openDemocracy on whether blockchain can provide the foundation for a web of value (short answer: probably) with insights and inspirations from @nielsvdoorn @keikreutler @furtherfield @breadchain_ @221Aweeee @isthisanart_ @provokedeconomy @keanbirch

Aside from facilitating abusive regimes, dodgy money in our property market pushes up living costs for ordinary citizens. This is chronic; we can’t trust government to manage our money systems opendemocracy.net/en/odr/oligarc…
