Tiota Sram<p>It's time to lower your inhibitions towards just asking a human the answer to your question.</p><p>In the early nineties, effectively before the internet, that's how you learned a lot of stuff. Your other option was to look it up in a book. I was a kid then, so I asked my parents a lot of questions.</p><p>Then by ~2000 or a little later, it started to feel almost rude to do this, because Google was now a thing, along with Wikipedia. "Let me Google that for you" became a joke website used to satirize the poor fool who would waste someone's time answering a random question. There were some upsides to this, as well as downsides. I'm not here to judge them.</p><p>At this point, Google doesn't work any more for answering random questions, let alone more serous ones. That era is over. If you don't believe it, try it yourself. Between Google intentionally making their results worse to show you more ads, the SEO cruft that already existed pre-LLMs, and the massive tsunami of SEO slop enabled by LLMs, trustworthy information is hard to find, and hard to distinguish from the slop. (I posted an example earlier: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/@tiotasram/114806352209256069" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kolektiva.social/@tiotasram/11</span><span class="invisible">4806352209256069</span></a>)</p><p>In fact, the problem is worse than in the '90s, because instead of hitting a dead end at the library, you'll be offered some Premium Synthetic Truth-Shaped Content™, and you'll have to learn to dodge that stuff even for questions that do have an answer out there somewhere.</p><p>Many people have opined more eloquently than me on this shift, but my conclusion is: it's time to start asking people questions again and not be embarrassed by it. "Asking the internet" like on social media is one way to do this, but that has a lot of the same problems. I'm talking about asking (online or not) a specific person you know and trust. Doesn't have to be an expert, just someone you think might know the answer, or who might have fun looking for it with you, or who might be bored and willing to help out. Lots of us are lonely on here and would sometimes love to help look something up (or might even know an answer). This can be a good excuse for more direct human-to-human dialog (online or offline) as well, which is something that's waned since the '90s. I'm not exactly nostalgic for 1998, but I think it's time to ask each other questions again. (Okay, yes, I still watch Broodwar; this season of ASL is set to be amazing.)</p><p>As a gesture of following my own advice here, if you've read this far, feel free (if you would like) to DM me a question, or reply that you're open to being asked questions and I might DM you one. No guarantees of a speedy response.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DigitalCommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalCommons</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AskAQuestion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AskAQuestion</span></a></p>

Andrea D'Ambrosio<p>StackOverflow's robots.txt intervention exposes algorithmic capitalism's extraction of community intellectual labor for private profit without creator compensation.</p><p>AI training represents systematic appropriation of collective knowledge commons for proprietary commercial advantage, requiring immediate regulatory intervention.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DigitalCommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalCommons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LaborRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborRights</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AIEthics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIEthics</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>Essential Reading -></p><p>"One could argue that by repurposing creative works, AI has expanded the art multiplier: each dollar spent on the arts now yields its usual social return, as well as additional value derived from its incorporation into AI systems.</p><p>Yet, despite the value of their contributions, public funding for artists and creators has steadily declined. In the United Kingdom, for example, direct support from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to national arts bodies fell by 18% per person in real terms between 2009-10 and 2022-23. Over the same period, core funding for arts councils dropped by 18% in England, 22% in Scotland, 25% in Wales, and 66% in Northern Ireland. As generative AI continues to churn out synthetic content and displace human labor, that support must increase to reflect the realities of a changing creative economy.</p><p>Admittedly, with public finances under pressure and debt on the rise, this is hardly the time for unchecked government spending. Any additional funding would need to be financed responsibly. While a detailed policy blueprint is beyond the scope of this article, it’s worth noting that the enormous profits generated by major tech firms could be partially redirected to support the creative communities that power their models.</p><p>One way to achieve this would be to impose a levy on the gross revenues of the largest AI providers, collected by a national or multilateral agency. As the technology becomes increasingly embedded in daily life and production processes, the revenue flowing to AI firms is bound to grow – and so, too, will contributions to the fund. These resources could then be distributed by independent grant councils on multiyear cycles, ensuring that support reaches a wide range of disciplines and regions."</p><p><a href="https://www.project-syndicate.org/onpoint/how-ai-profits-can-help-fund-cultural-production-by-mariana-mazzucato-and-fausto-gernone-2025-07" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">project-syndicate.org/onpoint/</span><span class="invisible">how-ai-profits-can-help-fund-cultural-production-by-mariana-mazzucato-and-fausto-gernone-2025-07</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITraining</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Commons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Commons</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalCommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalCommons</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CreativeLabour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CreativeLabour</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PublicGoods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PublicGoods</span></a></p>

De EDIC Digitale Gemeenschapsgoederen sluit direct aan op de recent gepubliceerde Nederlandse Digitaliseringsstrategie (NDS).</p><p><strong>Het vergroten van de digitale autonomie</strong></p><p>Om de digitale autonomie te vergroten, is het nodig dat Europa meer producten en diensten zelf ontwikkelt. De EDIC Digitale Gemeenschapsgoederen zal functioneren als een platform, zowel fysiek als digitaal. Om bedrijven, maatschappelijke organisaties, wetenschappers en overheden met elkaar te verbinden. Dit helpt om financiering sneller te regelen, ondersteuning te bieden en netwerken te vergroten.</p><p><strong>Beslissing Europese Commissie</strong></p><p>Voor nu wachten de lidstaten de beslissing af van de Europese Commissie. Na goedkeuring zal de Europese Unie bijna 2,5 miljoen euro financieren van het EDIC-budget. De betrokken lidstaten dragen samen ruim 2,8 miljoen euro bij.</p> <p>Dit is een automatisch geplaatst bericht.
