Fediverse discourse on AI polarized, hindering open discussion and open source contributions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author expresses frustration with the polarized discourse on the Fediverse, particularly regarding AI.

    I assumed that Fediverse could really be an open, progressive environment where to discuss ideas and grow up, with different points of view. But what I'm finding lately, is something different. Narration going from "pro AI / glasses" to "no AI / glasses" so if you don't maintain …
