So fed up with receiving AI-generated stuff from everyone. Deviceless, face-to-face meetings will regain importance to distinguish substance from machine-powered blah.

All eyes are on #Belgrade today. All the solidarity to the student movement, peacefully and courageously demanding their right to a future!

At @okfn@fosstodon.org we are hiring a senior developer willing to code the Open Data Editor to the next level https://okfn.org/en/jobs/senior-developer/ Come work with us!

Good morning @turingway@fosstodon.org
I am delighted to start the week by sharing ideas and examples about the power of communities for the future of a different AI! At @okfn@fosstodon.org are working towards that!

The #OpenDataDay is looking truly global. Is your country missing? Organise a small talk, a gathering, a webinar and join the party! We want to see you there! opendataday.org

Today, the promise of all knowledge available for everyone is just a broken chatbot feeding you lies. It is time to reclaim and build a new architecture for the future of our knowledge! Come join us! https://blog.okfn.org/2024/05/01/commons-cause-towards-a-shared-advocacy-strategy-for-the-knowledge-commons/

The post-USAID public interest work that will replace the ineffective "one size fits all development" will be very different. Rooted in local reality, shaped by local agendas and concerns, and guided by local expertise instead of remote instructions from a desk in DC.
