"AI is only good if you have the money to afford the hardware to run it yourself" is not as class conscious as you think it is.

atproto oauth is actually extremely simple. all you have to do is resolve the handle to resolve the did to resolve the resource metadata to resolve the auth metadata to send the PAR to get the redirect_uri to get the code to get the refresh token to get the access token to make a request

"A counterculture does something else entirely. It finds the ungoverned space, builds the parallel system, and reaches the audience first. The mainstream is then forced to respond to something it had neither authorised nor understood." Great theory of change for science (and a lot of other fields)

A counterculture does something else entirely. It finds the ungoverned space, builds the parallel system, and reaches the audience first.

The mainstream is then forced to respond to something it had neither authorised nor understood.

It’s less about heroism and it’s also not about victimhood.

It is more of a niche-serving approach.

You find the use case the dominant system cannot see, or cannot afford to serve, or has actively written off as worthless. You build for that. You make it work for the people who need it. And you let the alternative become obsolete not by confronting it, but by making it irrelevant.

That is the crux of it.

Rewildpunk: The Counterculture AI Actually Needs by @abiawomosu.bsky.social: Plurality over monoculture. Relationship over command. Local usefulness over universal scale. Human judgement over automatic optimisation. And infrastructure people can shape & steward, over platforms they merely consume

this is potentially a spicy take but i think i'm way more excited at the thought of a scrappy open web where apps are coming up with niche/specific lexicons vs a heavily standardised one where custom lexicons are discouraged in favour of maximal interop 🧐
