Sharing the SWSX live stream because when you compare this narrative to the ones of the other platforms, particularly its currently open and free access and personalizing configuration (still unfolding), it becomes clear this is emergent possibility for better and more refined functionality than we’ve managed to see scale successfully. It’s an exciting time. Lots of opportunity.
I’ve been yelling since the BBS days about the need to stipulate and protect a concept that is today called ‘protocols’ (that’s another article) as an emergent technology that genuinely can and likely will return personal power and certainly digital dignity (not Lanier’s version; this one stipulates the author of the data is the user, thus the user owns the data).
To see this begin to emerge is beautiful. I tried to get them to hire me, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. Still love what they’re doing. My background and experience, as “swiss-holed” as it is, is highly relevant and could be helpful. I get the vision because it’s been my own since roughly 1993.
Anyway, enough about me and my thoughts. Listen to these ones, they’re worth supporting, don’t you think?
