Eli Mallon@iame.li · 2w agoHey we shipped a new Go code generator for lexicon types. Been in production for a couple weeks now 🥳 Based off of @bnewbold.net's cobalt work and @hypha.coop's go-dasl for DRISL serialization. Copies indigo's echo server stub generation verbatim. 100% compatible with @atproto/lex lockfiles.

Friend of Hypha, Zeke Williams, just released an important paper explaining how Big Tech's influence is driving irresponsible AI development, and charting a course towards alternative, more equitable, models of development. Check it out!
Ezekiel Williams@ezekielwilliams.bsky.social · 2mo ago1/7 Proud to share our paper, accepted as an oral at ICML '26! We highlight how Big Tech’s influence on AI R&D drives damaging outcomes, and what we as researchers can do about it. We also discuss underlying economic causes. See link for paper, and below for a brief summary arxiv.org/abs/2512.03077

Very interesting new report from CanTrust Hosting Co-operative and @hypha.coop that asks the question whether Canadian co-operatives can build, own, and govern their own AI infrastructure is possible and feasible. Download the report here: cooperativeblueprint.ai/read-the-stu...
Something, a queer Toronto organization, was gearing up for the #Pride edition of its flagship event. Then the group's co-founders couldn’t access their Instagram account, which had nearly 10,000 followers. Their small business and personal accounts had been disabled. New @mobocks.bsky.social:
A queer Toronto group was kicked off Instagram ahead of Pride. Then came Meta’s bizarre accusation of ‘human exploitation’
The group promoting its dance party felt it was the subject of unfair censorship, an accusation echoed by other artists.

This is an extremely concerning development. Designing systems to be insecure makes everyone less secure, no matter who holds the keys to the backdoor.
Canada is about to end private digital conversation — Bill C-22
Bill C-22 would force every messaging app in Canada to build a backdoor — and track all your activity for one year. Apple says no. Signal says they'll leave.

this is off-the-cuff, but I've been pounding the table about it for a while--implementation is and remains the easy part. AI services are the easy part the hard part is *executive strategy* and I am not aware of anyone going even near consulting, etc. for that completely underserved segment
George Pearkes@peark.es · 3mo agoInteresting one here. Anthropic is launching a firm that looks like an AI implementation consultancy.
