Got Musk's own AI to admit him and Trump go against humanity 😆
.🥳 Have you tried CoMapeo yet? We are excited for you to try our next-gen territorial monitoring & mapping tool, co-designed with #EarthDefenders.

Key takeaways:
- Fine-tuning makes tailored tools viable
- Data sovereignty & community collaboration fosters trust and relevance
- Data scarcity requires innovative training techniques
- Risk of biases, hallucinations, and ethical contamination
Análise interessante da realidade social-política do Brasil, e porque a população de baixa renda muitas vezes vota contra seus próprios interesses.

"Bots mimicking this data are no substitute for fluid, embodied human language in all its natural variation, situated in actual human contexts. The danger is that increasingly we won’t even be able to recognize the real thing." www.thedial.world/articles/new...
so I said we'd write something about "AI", well, here it is -

Honored to have spent a week recently at #COP16 in Cali, Colombia with my co-conspirators, technical collaborators, and good friends from @awana.digital. The week before, we established integration between #CoMapeo and #GuardianConnector.
Proud to have a few of my photos from collaborations with CIPDP Chepkitale (Ogiek) in Mount Elgon, Kenya featured in this top-notch report by #ForestPeoplesProgramme! Congratulations to all involved.

I believe AI is a natural evolution of computation like socialmedia of the www. While social media isnt inherently bad big tech made it a tool for addiction and polarization. NLP enables oral, low-literacy, communities to interact through orality with machines. What would a #communityai look like?
The rainy season is perfect for grass growth, and neighbors mow their lawns. We trade: I gather their grass, and take it to cover the #agroforest.
Afternoon work:
1: Collect the grass
2: Remove excess cover crop without harming plants
3: Carefully cover the soil with the grass
Finally, its ready!
A few years ago, my mom gave me a Callisia repens for decoration. We forgot it, and it spread across the #agroforest, suffocating everything. I hated it, but I’ve made peace: during the dry season, it covers the soil, and though hard to remove, its compost and tiny roots work wonders for the soil.
Had an accident while sharpening the machete and it went about 15mm deep into my finger cutting into my nail. Treated with medicine found in the #agroforest. First some powdered turmeric and some banana sap to stop the bleeding, then sangra d'água (Croton urucurana) sap to completely close the wound
Been working closely with @awana.digital for past 4 years. Here's a few pics from the last #mapeo events with amazing indigenous partners, protecting millions of hectares of Amazon and Cerrado in Brasil. Best use of #p2p tech I'm aware, with an amazing journey and amazing contributors over the years
Still growing a food forest in my backyard and after 8 years the soil entropy has become amazing with little external input. In just a few m², we've got kale, turmeric, mulberries, castor beans, papaya, jatobá trees, terramycin, mustard, pineapple, lemon, thyme & more thriving together #agroforestry
Best comparison! Addictive, makes everything better, gives you lots of energy, but comes with diabetes 😈
Dê-me pequi infinito e serei vegano. Época boa de fruta no Goiás!
Loving it! Great to see u deep into music again. Also love the cover, brings me back great memories.
I'm still working closely with Awana Digital (former Digital Democracy) and our Community Networks collective, Coolab, with the unified goal of strengthening community autonomy through co-developed digital technologies and methodologies to make them useful and accessible.
It's been a long while since I've interacted with the broader online world. Let's try to change that. Great to see old friends from SSB here, as well as others that I admire from around the world.
Hello world! Salve planeta Terra!
