Right? I feel like if you're gonna play that card as part of your personality maybe there should be some accountability associated? No idea how that would be practically or ethically enacted tho

A clown friend talks about clowns as people who bridge possible realities. I have some neurodivergent friends who I don't fully understand, but they speak poetry which occassionally opens new avenues of insight. I wonder if LLMs could do things like this

mixmix @mixmix.bsky.social · 29/05/2026
You saying you've had AI mediating / bridge-building for you? A game I love to play when introducing two friends is "write the user manual for A>B and for B>A", if LLMs could help produce those that'd be very interesting. LLMs that ask questions which gently shunt the possibility space.

I feel like we were just starting to scratch the surface. Most excitingly, I was starting to teach it how I like to weave people together in chat groups - draw in participation, ask for others opinions as opposed to just being a reply-guy.

mixmix @mixmix.bsky.social · 29/05/2026
What I experienced was a Signal chat group that was shared with a bot that listened and adapted to group chat. It was very quick, and we had some great conaersations about memory strategies, modelling relationships, and did a fair bit of testing operating boundaries

The hard part of MLS I think is coordinating "removal from group" in a p2p context. It's doable tho, we sketched a design as part of a NLNet grant

I think the "goal" of global scale social networks is wrong. I use Signal almost exclusively as a social network these days. That could run decentralized (if you're ok with non-repudiability)... trade-offs

NGI/EU has overall too many rules, and the target of funding are projects (or worse: rigidly predetermined milestones). In my opinion, if it were set up to fund *teams*, it would have accomplished a lot more with tax payer money.
