Introducing Simple Moderation: Real-time moderation for LLM- and user-generated content We're using AIs and machine learning classifiers to moderate content before passing that on to human beings.

We wrote a post about the moderation infrastructure that we introduced last week at ISRII '25.

In short, we created a voting system for various automated agents to moderate content originating from user-generated or large language model contexts. We're using this system to improve rule-based bots.

Where does BRIC fit? BRIC's distinct role in the research software ecosystem - fostering innovation and shared infrastructure

My @bric.digital co-founder @ericka.bric.digital wrote a nice piece on this today.

Our pitch has been to be a pseudo-@alt18f.bsky.social, but instead of serving the gov't, we would serve the research community.

Part of that is showing where the landmines are so that others don't step on them.

If you play #EliteDangerous you can visit BRIC's new scientific outpost anytime, including 3311.

This piece has been a long-time coming, and charts the direction of the rest of my career in software: building scientific code and infrastructure in a manner that benefits science across the board.

It's an interesting time to embark on this project, but lean times create solid organizations.
