    The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective is an anarchist collective dedicated to enabling access to medicines and medical technologies to those who need them but don’t have them.

  • WebSim – Advanced Guide to Structuring Requests and Iteration
    In WebSim, you can invent your own hypothetical protocols to further customize and contextualize your simulated web experiences. Here are some ideas to spark your imagination:

    emotional:// – For websites that adapt to and influence the user’s emotional state.
    quantum:// – For websites that harness the principles of quantum mechanics for unique interactions and experiences.
    telepathic:// – For websites that can be accessed and navigated through thought alone.
    cosmic:// – For websites that explore the vastness of the universe and its mysteries.
    fractal:// – For websites with infinitely recursive and self-similar structures.
    synaesthetic:// – For websites that blend and cross-wire different sensory modalities.
    quantum:// – For websites that operate on the principles of quantum computing and entanglement.
    mythic:// – For websites that bring mythological realms and creatures to life.

  • Hermes 3 – NOUS RESEARCH

    “… the Oxford researchers set out how LLMs produce responses that are plausible, helpful and confident but contain factual inaccuracies, misleading references and biased information.  They term this problematic phenomenon as ‘careless speech’ which they believe causes long-term harms to science, education and society.”

    Big questions come up. I guess the idea is the mechanization of careless speech is the issue. I wonder if the same concept would then apply to companies or individuals. Would it apply to spam and content farms?

  • Unchartify – discover and explore artists, albums and genres you love
    Spotify has a music library 10 miles deep, but its official experience is built around automatic recommendations which tend to keep you stuck in a bubble. And it’s unfortunately easy to get lost when trying to explore manually. Unchartify is the breeze in your sails, helping you navigate through an ocean of new music to find your next favorite track or artist.
