Collective action strategies in the age of AI w/ Nick Vincent from Data Leverage - The Blockchain Socialist
I spoke to Nick Vincent, assistant professor of computing science at Simon Fraser University and author of the Data Leverage substack, about what it actually means that AI systems are built on the collective output of humanity’s digital labor and what we can do about it. Nick has spent years researching how data functions as a bargaining tool, […]

LLMs Are Accelerating the Open Source Sustainability Crisis
Adam Wathan, the creator of Tailwind CSS, has been speaking about how LLMs have made his project more popular than ever…while also making it fall apart financially, causing him to fire 75% of his engineers. “I think AI is a huge reason why our business is struggling, even though it’s making Tailwind more popular than ever.” — Adam Wathan (12:03) How is this possible? A major cause is that LLMs are blocking Tailwind’s creators and users from forming a relationship with each other.

this is true and is a big reason why you don’t need to be a highly technical researcher to use LLMs in surprising and novel ways https://t.co/TuxNzXzToU— Dan Shipper 📧 (@danshipper) July 27, 2025
We Got Claude to Fine-Tune an Open Source LLM
We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
Democratizing AI: The Psyche Network Architecture - NOUS RESEARCH
Psyche is an open infrastructure that democratizes AI development by decentralizing training across underutilized hardware. Building on DisTrO and its predecessor DeMo, Psyche reduces data transfer by several orders of magnitude, making distributed training practical. Coordination happens on the Solana blockchain, ensuring a fault-tolerant and censorship-resistant network.

The Networked Leviathan: For Democratic Platforms
The Networked Leviathan is a book by Paul Gowder, Professor of Law at Northwestern University, which offers a case and a roadmap for democratizing major internet platforms.
Sweet, group-controlled communities that a decentralized organization can control with a gnosis safe * We can't actually use a gnosis safe for this because blockchains give everyone the ick so we have to reinvent something that'll be like a gnosis safe only worse
bryan newbold
some thoughts on how to implement public community spaces in atproto. I think it is important for us to stretch what the protocol can do; and there are some great opportunities for self-hosting, moderation, customization, etc
