Christian, Wendy, kev, nanomonkey, Dmitri and me organised this event here over the last months and finally it is happening next week at the @internetarchive in SF!

The idea is to bring people together to reflect about the last years of building peer-to-peer software and formulate ideas for the future.

https://dwebseminar.org/

* DWeb Seminar, August 13 - 15: we've invited ten researchers and developers from different p2p projects to come, cook and live together, share learnings and formulate a publication
* DWeb Weekend, August 16 - 17: Public days full of roundtable discussions, workshops, presentations and demos

Come and join us if you can! For Sunday we still have free slots for your talks and workshops.

@mia @trc I'm concerned that the perennial good will that exists towards IA is being undermined by IA's stance towards LLMs, which will ultimately lead to their undoing. But, there's still time for them to correct course I think? As you said, this appears to be an EU thing, posing as a universal thing, so perhaps my opinions aren't really relevant here.

@edsu The #InternetArchive has always used a lot of machine learning etc. to extract metadata from its disparate holdings to make them easier to use without having to spend a fortune on traditional cataloguing. Prose generation with LLMs is another matter (but then even the Wikimedia Foundation is getting mired into that nonsense, despite the even more obvious contradictions with its mission).

Getting on the train of this or that legal issue before the courts seems more of a tactical decision.

I had the honour to be invited by @ZFAVClub to participate in an online live workshop exploring the mighty and wonderful CLI tool of the @internetarchive, in collaboration with @dweb 💕

If you are interested in data preservation and digital commons, please do watch it, as we did our best to shed some light on the most powerful yet little known features of this software.

The #InternetArchive is an invaluable resource for unlimited, public, open, and free storage for the whole Universe. It seems too good to be true, but it is!

We also touched upon the value of #FreeSoftware, #Linux, #decentralization, and #publicDomain.

📡 The #livestream doesn’t stop when we're off for the holiday or weekend. 🇺🇸

When the microfiche scanning team powers down overnight & on weekends, the feed keeps on keeping on, shifting to silent films, home movies & other gems from the #InternetArchive.
