Signaling AI Preferences on ATProto Atproto users need a way to express granular AI preferences and carve out exceptions for specific entities or content types. This post introduces community.lexicon.preference.ai, a lexicon schema that decomposes AI usage into distinct categories and adds a scoped override mechanism built on top of Bluesky's User Intents proposal.

New blog post: Signaling AI Preferences on ATProto. Introducing community.lexicon.preference.ai, a lexicon for granular AI data usage preferences with scoped overrides for specific entities and collections. #AI #atproto

A PR to introduce the community.lexicon.preference.ai lexicon has been created.

Recently there has been a lot of dividing & heated discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol.

Yesterday at the Social Web CG meeting, I proposed releasing a statement on this discourse, you can read the full statement here:

github.com/swicg/genera...

#activitypub #atprotocol #atproto #SocialWeb

🔒 Our discourse instance has been updated to use ATProtocol OAuth scopes. We can all sleep a little better at night, knowing that the next discourse 0-day won't destroy your repository and identity.

Lexicon Community ATProtocol developers working on lexicons

♨️ Attention ♨️

We're moving away from GitHub discussions to Discourse! This is the best place for long-form discussion about lexicons, how they're crafted and used, and what belongs in the Lexicon Community portfolio.

See you there!

Updated the website a bit to talk about the custom #atgeo checkin record I made for Anchor dropanchor.app the latest app version uses a very lightweight custom pds to store these check-ins and serve them to clients.

I created an issue to form a @lexicon.community working group to explore the idea of Lexicon Lenses.

I’ve been really interested in the idea of exploring lexicon traits, type aliases, and rendering. @blaine.bsky.social spent some time with me this weekend and planted a seed. It was eye opening.

On my way home! These past several days have been a whirlwind. I’m so thankful to @bmann.ca, @knowtheory.net, @chadkoh.com, @blaine.bsky.social, and @rudyfraser.com for several days of conversations, walks, and sharing tables. #ATmosphereConf

Hi! I was in the @lexicon.community meeting and am very interested in building UI libraries! Let’s connect if you wanna support this effort
