  • MyceliumWebServer now connected to the Fediverse

  • The idea is that every fungi-node also has a UI, yes. So you would be able to browse the AI models - for example if you chat with bot A, and the bot is currently learning with bot B and C, those bots would be visible to you and you could open their UI, too. And it should also show bots with which it trained earlier, too.

    This way you could "browse" the resulting AI web via the browser.

  • Well, its similar to a botnet, but one that is open and transparent. You can browse the different nodes, etc. And you can (at least hopefully in the future) add your own computing resources to the network to participate in the AI training.

    Its a bit like a more sensible version of bitcoin: instead of waisting energy for the proof of work, its training a shared AI model.

    (Its running on a Hetzner server.)

  • Well, big tech has big computers, the Fediverse doesn't, but we have many small one. That's why its a good idea to combine them.

    This has already been done for example by projects like SETI@home or FOLDING@home.

    My idea is to build a web based on this idea.

    There is a good video on federated, decentralized AI training here: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/seminars/wednesday/video/20241127-1500-t221089.html

  • One can imagine this project as a decentralized huggingface, which (spoiler alert), could also enshittify.

    The idea is that we need bots like this because huggingface can enshittify

  • Hi, the bot was incorrectly set up and posted every 60s, which was too much and it got suspended.

    Its now updated to posting every 12 hours and hopefully, it will be soon up again

  • MusicRecommendationFungus: Decentralized, federated music recommendation AI based on the semantic and social web

    Jump

  • So its basically just a mastodon bot, a knowledge graph and an AI-model, who all work together.

    The mastodon bot makes the functionality available to users (they can ask for song recommendations), the AI model is obviously trained and the knowledge graph is used to save the model and for collaborative communication between AI agents.

    I'm not 100% sure whether it will be counter-productive or not, but maybe AI on the Fediverse could be a good thing. Like it could push the Fediverse forward (all big social networks nowadays have their own llms, ours should be federated of course). I think combining these three aspects (social web, semantic web/knowledge graphs and autonoumos agents) could be a cool thing. I have noticed how the narratives in the three departments are similar to one another (social web enthusiasts speak about walled gardens, data/knowledge enthusiasts about data silos and AI enthusiasts about big, centralized AI).

    The following three resources point to how similar the approaches are:

    But how to combine them? Maybe as a fungus?

    Jump

  • Well, custom posting can mean all kinds of stuff. Text altering is just one thing. You can also give commands to the "bot" through hashtags. For example, one of the bots postpones the post for a certain amount of minutes via the first hashtag.

    For example: "#5 this will be send in 5 minutes"

  • The rebellion will be federated

    Jump

  • The article became better as it went along. At the end I really wanted to increase my own FLOSS skills.

    I think what the Fediverse mainly needs is more people with IT skills and money and infrastructure to host this stuff. Mastodon still doesn't appeal to mainstream users, Lemmy is still having federation issues and missing central features. It will all still take years. Another thing is the problem of hosting all of this stuff, if it should scale.

    I also used to write articles like this here, and I'm not completely against them if they don't actually call for any ridiculous actions against big tech in a "revolution" (not a big butlerian jihad fan; make code not memes). At the end I guess I feel to be on the same page as her: I want to increase my own coding skills to effectively contribute something to the Fediverse (meaning without getting burned out in the process).

  • Bluesky, decentralisation, and the distribution of

    Jump

  • Decentralisation doesn't necessarily come with decentralized technical infrastructure, but its the basis for it. I'm still betting on ActivityPub. Sure social insentives are important, but the most openess will win. Also, Wordpress, Flipboard, Threads already joined ActivityPub, so the ecosystem already is kind of attractive in that direction.
