      The age of homebrew AI may not be all sweetness and light. Nor will it be all darkness and porn. Meet some of the pioneers showing what happens when the masses can teach computers new tricks.

    That awkward silence when you hear about the "new president" and hopes for "more democracy".

    @byron I highly recommend #Piwigo http://piwigo.org/ It's easy to setup and maintain. Just like WordPress. And full of features.

    The report on the sustainability of open source, written by Nadia Eghbal in 2016, identifies the problem well enough but doesn't have much of a solution.

    It's written from the venture capital perspective, so startup culture is uncritically endorsed and there are various other questionable assumptions about corporate involvement. In some places there are also references to the myth of the lone developer ("rockstar" type thinking).

    The problem it describes is that the current economy depends heavily on software and that underneath the glossy startups the infrastructure comprises largely of Free Software developed and maintained by a relatively small community of "key contributors". The software economy is mostly free riding upon the digital infrastructure base, and there isn't much systematic thinking about how to keep the infrastructure level going in the longer term.

    I'd describe this problem in terms of the failing social reproduction of developers. It might be easier than ever to learn python, but it can be hard to make ends meet while running a software project, even if it's vital to the free rider economy.

    It gives the classic example of OpenSSL - something which runs on the majority of internet servers and yet which in 2014 at the time of heartbleed was maintained by just one developer in precarious circumstances and hardly funded.

    Acting - most of the time - IS all about performing / imitating what you are not; it's about performing the role of another person. If an actor is limited to portraying his/her own "identity" alone, that would be the end of acting as an art!

    And a guy few seats away got up and walked over to me and asked:

    "do you have Internet access? Can I check news? I just got a text saying that MR has just been sworn in as PM"

    And how was your day? Mine went as follows:

    I was in a movie theatre watching 'Hunter Killer'. Yes, a coup movie involving the usual good guys (a US Navy SEAL team and U.S. submarine lead by a brave captain) saving a Russian president and preventing WW3.

    Despite what each faction claims at the moment, ultimate decisions will be made in New Delhi and Washington. Whoever gets the blessings from them will settle down to have their go at the expense of the masses.

    And a constitutional crisis looms. That's for sure.

    "Sacking" of Ranil Wickramasinghe and appointing Rajapakse as PM is yet another manifestation of the deepening crisis within the political establishment. Each faction is desperate to prove themselves to be a competent ally of major powers. This is no victory for the people. #lka

    Looks like a coup to me, carried out without any participation of the people, without any political explanation given to those who voted in the previous election. #SriLanka
