Twitter revealed its algorithm to the world.
But what does it mean for you?
I spent the evening analyzing it.
Here’s what you need to know:
We urgently need ‘AI translators’, people who translate the needs and demands of engineers to managers, or the concerns of citizens to developers. We need people who can talk about all aspects of AI, people who can connect people, planet and profit. @miekedk via @ScienceMediaHub
Why do you also refer to the planet-part when talking about AI? At present the CO2-emission of AI- and internet of things-applications combined is about two percent and it is growing. [For comparison: this 2% is roughly the same as the CO2-footprint of the airline industry.]
While we dream of building intelligence in a machine, we don’t want to see that there is so much intelligence in nature we haven’t explored yet. via sciencemediahub.eu/2022/11/0…
Eugen Rochko reported that #Mastodon surpassed 1m users this month, with 489k joining since Musk’s Twitter takeover. mastodon.social/@Gargron/109…
“Decentralized” is Web3’s biggest buzzword and means that Mastodon lets users create their own versions of its server, rather than being bound to a central one. Servers are hosted by individuals or organizations who can set their own content moderation rules.
We shared our results in more than 70 scientific peer-reviewed publications and over 60 events and activities. We also secured two patents and have made the entire toolset for DApp development available on GitHub under the Apache 2 licence. articonf.eu/results
Our Results in Brief article we recently collaborated with @CORDIS_EU has been published on the CORDIS

"Hi, My name is Kate Orton-Johnson, and I'm a digital sociologist based at the University of Edinburgh, and one of the sociologists that's been participating in the ARTICONF project." @katyoj
...social and cultural understandings with technical understandings of how we construct our social media platforms have been really interesting. And I think the use cases that we've drawn on in the project raised some really interesting questions about decentralising social media
For a decent life on social media, we should all have access to decentralised social media → articonf.eu
Hello, I'm Pedro Jacobetty @pboxpj and I'm a sociologist working in ARTICONF. Blockchain technology is still in an embryonic phase, which made sociological research with possible future adopters something very challenging...
...It required extra effort to understand people's hopes, dreams and fears were because they didn't have a very clear grasp of the technology. So we learned there are many knowledge gaps and doubts about #blockchain, even among those actively working in their development...
Questions from our partner @AKASHAorg — What forms of value creation can we unlock, and how do we fund the transition from an advertisement business model in web2 to a value transacting business model in web3?
Good examples are supranational and intergovernmental organisations such as the European Union and the European Central Bank. The acknowledgement of a public, not-for-profit social media ecosystem not controlled by any particular state may be a fundamental right in today’s world.
