Added any Ursula Franklin to your media diet yet? Just learned of her work this year, fantastic stuff.
Prescriptive vs holistic technology is such a useful framing.

> Who else?
Douglass Rushkoff is imo the modern-day McLuhan.
I’ve just been listening to his podcast for years, but his newly revised book ‘Program or be Programmed’ apparently
“picks up where Marshall McLuhan left off”.
He’s been banging the same drum for decades:

That means the investor still has a lot to earn even if their total dividends are capped to 3x their original investment.
Vyld, the case mentioned in the post, drew up a publicly available contract very much along those lines.
Purpose Ventures invests this way.

Investment in this paradigm looks quite similar to the simple notion of a bank giving high-risk business loans.
It's still very much a *venture investment* that acknowledges the possibility of zero return, but the stability of the SMB model means many more of the investments will pay off.

Lastly, as a great intro to the brokenness of the growth paradigm and what necessarily comes after it, I loved this podcast episode (full transcript included) about Regenerative Economics.

Yeh @localfirstconf.com was awesome and full of wonderful people, but like most tech conferences the gender ratio was rather abysmal.
Lots of outstanding women speakers though, so at least there’s no shortage of leaders and role models to move our community towards lower disparities.

Am I missing something here @simonwillison.net ? Is OLMoTrace not the breakthrough demonstration for open data that I perceive it to be?
idk, this work seems very important to talk about, yet it’s gotten near zero coverage.
It worries me that the genAI crowd cares only about output, not input.

As long as the work is firmly grounded in open source commoning practice, I think a DeepWiki type app is an incredible addition to our toolkit as information architects/gardeners entrusted with the task of enriching our shared Great Commons.

OSI approved open source licensing has also failed to adapt, and we’re in an industry whereby if you create an alternative it’s not going to be considered open source because one entity doesn’t list it.
That’s not conducive to progress licensing of emerging paradigms.

How about adding ‘search own posts’?
Kinda supported in the official client already, but I can never remember the right syntax for it..
