In contrast to other social media sites, CoSo fosters hope--and you know what else CoSo promotes? Agency. A lot of people that I encounter here are inclined to DO something to make the world better--not just opine online about it.
Support, encouragement, empathy, and good feelings energize folks for change.
Thank you to all of the folks who are part of this community, working toward the greater good.
And many thanks to @th3j35t3r for his vision and initiative.

I counted eight different butterflies in the areas we hand-seeded. There's moths, hoverflies, bees, birds. It's been a really exciting first year."

Surprise, the most influential people in AI are also the richest.
"At the risk of overthinking a magazine feature, what it reflects to me is how the conceptual enterprise of AI is already shedding incisive and creative voices, and is ossifying into the oligopoly-dominated automation enterprise it always seemed destined to be. And that those critical voices are in the process of getting crushed."

Truth matters. Time, attention, thought, empathy & patience matter
