Please understand that I do NOT believe this...:
I have a pet theory that MicroSlop, and maybe other USian companies, love putting PoC in leadership positions when the company is going to do a string of assholic decisions that might damage the public opinion of the company.
Cases in point:
1. Satya trying to force Copilot on the whole world.
2. Bond letting XBox die.
Again, I have no facts, I do NOT believe this... Or do I?

@afreytes Yes, it's a well-known phenomenon.
It reminds me of corporations switching cars to human drivers just before a crash. Political parties choosing women as presidential candidates when the party seems to prefer the other party winning over doing anything its voters want.
And the old Scottish news where a woman was asked about having had a woman prime minister.

It happened and is still happening, but given the state of the world, weaponized misinformation etc etc, is it happening fast enough?
So this half-day event will be exclusively focused on how to grow the Open Social Web to bring its benefits to more people.
If you have opinions how to do that, or are working on it, or would like to help, join us, online! Together, we are smarter than any one of us, so let's stick our heads together.

On March 2, we are going to try something different. Something in addition to the regular twice/year FediForum un-conference (so don't worry).
We will run an un-**workshop**, on a topic that many in the community have told us is very pressing for them:
How do we grow the Open Social Web?
When Elon bought Twitter now over three years ago, and every time X has been rocked by scandal since, many people expected a big exodus to decentralized social media platforms based on open protocols.

@shoofle maybe for a rather shallow definition of "imagination"
-
your soul is your moral core, the standards by which you hold and the relationship you have with them, the relationships and history you have with people, the lasting effects of memory, your traumas and reactions

@Alberto 😘

anyway my cosmology holds that souls are not a "real, physical object", but do/should be thought to exist as our term to handwave away "it seems like people act as moral, empathetic actors even when it's against their 'rational' best interest" like. there's clearly something there even if we don't know how to describe it, right? i call it a "soul"
-
this is all to say, i don't think you have to believe in All That Woo to believe in souls (patterns and qualities in humans that are not physically obvious or measurable but nevertheless exist and can be observed through social and moral interaction) and also to believe that chatbots do not have them and like. idk.
i think that chatbots have as much claim to "imagination" as humans do. but that doesn't mean they are good at stuff!
