@juddlegum Curious as to what makes you think Substack Notes won't have the same problems as other for-profit platforms like Twitter, Facebook, et al, if it becomes super popular? #protocolsoverplatforms

@garrett @tbernard

Also it's worth noting that Protocol Labs (the ones who invented and develop #IPFS) has hosted over the years a lot of conferences about research on protocols, check their YouTube channel, it has a great variety of high-level content:

The focus of Protocol Labs, rather than supporting the world of cryptocurrencies, is to promote the development of protocols rather than services. #ProtocolsOverPlatforms #ProtocolsOverServices

We can say that #Fediverse is precisely this concept: a set of protocols like #ActivityPub as opposed to a centralized service.

Also notice that many are interested in taking advantage of IPFS both in #Matrix and in the Fediverse, in particular in #PeerTube that is currently based on #WebTorrent but it could also take advantage from IPFS deduplication and ease of helping with seeding.

Large language models are clearly an existential threat to search engines in the way mid-90s internet adoption was to Bill Gates' vision for Microsoft. Not to be conspiratorial about it, but I wonder if this may explain some of the #FUD surrounding AI. Like HTTP and later the #fediverse, AI is a democratizing tool, and I believe that 2023 will be the year that protocols over platforms became a mainstream idea. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/21/technology/ai-chatgpt-google-search.html
