#LastNightThought

I see a lot of similarities between the #AI hype and #GMO #seeds emergence.

1. Both are used to steal the #commons and #enclose them under the guise of "#IntellectualProperty". AI being more harmful (more developed), as they use also copyrighted material, breaking their own (declared) rules.

2. The use of both overreach their real usability, creating use cases harmful for the ecosystem.

3. They are firmly monopolised by corporations, becoming another tool of dominance and control.

4. Liberated and communalised, they could become a great field-leveling factor and contribute to our struggle against the worst effects of the global succession.

Rano, wracając ze spaceru, spotkałem starszą panią, która dała mi dwa selery.

Wieczorem przyszły Zuzia z Elizą, i pomogły mi zakisić bulwy, oraz zrobić chłodnik z naci, który spożyliśmy wspólnie z ich mamą.

Życie sąsiedzkie.

An online friend may need to leave Texas with their children, both for economic and psychological reasons. Highly skilled tech professional, recently out of luck.

As my own initiative, I am trying to research some options for them. The worst "The Fifth of November" scenario would probably mean going south. Even the other option means that Texas will be even greater mess than it is so far.

So, where to? How? Any welcoming community for a foothold?

I know next to nothing about the US context (AMA about Eastern Europe instead), so all kinds of advice will be appreciated. This is a public thread, so the person involved will see it and may (or may not) decide to disclose themselves.

Communally-oriented advises will be most welcome.

Przygotowuję akcję wykupienia (oferta wsparta dużą dawką ŁagodnejPerswazji™) sponiewieranej amstaffki od jej mocno patologicznej właścicielki.

Jaka jest uczciwa cena "rynkowa" za ~4 letnią sukę po wypadnięciu macicy, bitą i zaniedbaną (a wciąż słodkiego charakteru, co widać, bo regularnie biega luzem po okolicy i muchy nie skrzywdziła)?
