How did we get to a point where being closed could be possibly seen as a gov strength or security?

Check out this unmissable call for artists working with data from #FestivaldeDatos, a Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (#Data4SDGs)'s event happening in Uruguay next November. (And stay tuned for @okfn’s side event programme focused on #openness 🔓 – more on that soon).

I am sure many of us have some great human stories of #Openness. Please consider sharing a story for my friend @cogdog

Creativity and Curiosity: Does novelty-seeking underlie both?

Ivancovsky and colleagues argue this is the case.

It seems plausible to me that novelty-seeking behaviors can contribute to creativity.

But it doesn't explain some of the other routes to creative outcomes: Persistence, mind wandering, incubation, ... (?)

#Digitalisierung #Openness - Befreit das Netz! - "Wenn wir wirklich «hip» und «badass digital» sein wollen, übernehmen wir jetzt selbst die Verantwortung und befreien das Netz. Wir würden endlich unsere digitale Souveränität zurückgewinnen, freien Wettbewerb ermöglichen und unsere Demokratie sichern. Unsere Kinder würden es uns danken." - Interessanter Beitrag von Martin Andree - Eventl. € https://www.nzz.ch/meinung/befreit-das-netz-big-tech-muss-weg-ld.1749943

#Digitalisierung #Openness - Befreit das Netz! - "Wir müssten nur erkennen, dass Big Tech heute das darstellt, was früher einmal die Rockefellers oder Carnegies waren – alte, verkrustete Gebilde, die uns Menschen ständig erklären, es sei nur zu unserem Besten, wenn wir uns von ihnen beherrschen lassen. Dabei wollen sie nur ihre Machtpositionen halten, die sie seit vielen Jahren kapitalisieren (Amazon, Google Search, Facebook/Instagram, Youtube usw.), ohne dass Wettbewerber eine nennenswerte Chance hätten." - Interessanter Beitrag von Martin Andree - Eventl. € https://www.nzz.ch/meinung/befreit-das-netz-big-tech-muss-weg-ld.1749943

Openwashing is the trick that large "AI" companies use to evade regulation and neutralizing critics, by casting themselves as forces of ethical capitalism, committed to the virtue of #openness. No one should be surprised to learn that the products of the "open" wing of an industry whose products are neither "artificial," nor "intelligent," are also not "open." Every word AI huxters say is a lie; including "and," and "the."

Good to see the amount of independent bookshops in the UK is at its highest level for a decade. The number of these #bookstores has continued to rise for the seventh consecutive year, reaching a total of 1,072 shops. That's a significant increase from their lowest point of 867 shops back in 2016.

Also good that independent publishers are doing well:

So we can say there is something of a change in who is #publishing and disseminating #books. What we can’t say so much is that there is a change in how they are doing so.

Do the ends justify the means?

Like, is it okay to convince people to do the right thing for the wrong reasons?

I'm just thinking, perhaps we need to introduce a new Christianity to America which is built upon #love, #sacrifice, #doubt, #community, #openness, #acceptance.

Obviously, it would be better if people came to choose those values without the religious coercion, but, is it the lesser of two evils?

This one-day event is your unique opportunity to engage in a global conversation about #openness, #transparency and #accountability. We are bringing bring together global experts and practitioners to discuss #algorithms, ethics of #AI, and practical ways to promote transparency.

Dear #webDev

Who are your favorite #Web #educators and #developers who have made the switch to the #Fediverse? People who support #diversity and #openness in the #web community, and aren't just chasing engagement for the sake of their ego?

I want to #boost them!!!
