The best thing to start with right now on @Holochain is
Moss.social for groupware or
@YourOwnAI for running local AI models.
None of these require or use tokens.

Just released @YourOwnAI 0.8.0.
This feels like such a special release, as the starting point 0.7.2 was already pretty solid.
There's a maturity in 0.8.0 that makes me feel really proud.
There's so much in it, I almost don't know where to start.
I use Your Own AI for coding a lot so in this release we went to town on the UI and UX for agentic projects. A complete overhaul. Switch back and forth between Simple and Detailed mode by clicking the toggle or Cntrl O shortcut.
In 0.7.x we ramped up dragging in documents, books, etc to fulfil our goals from the @McConaughey on Rogan vid. But with 0.8.0 we stepped it right up. If you move a document in your file structure, it will notice it's missing and you can either relink or search for it. If you've ever used Da Vinci Resolve for Video its designed just like its media management.
Another thing you won't see but if you have a lower spec computer then you'll feel is the dynamic headroom work. The models run better when you don't use up all of the system resources, so we make sure we keep some resources for your computer to run. If you open up new browser tabs, it will automatically adjust the size of the headroom. Possibly one of the benefits of developing on a low spec machine myself is that I know what it's like to not have huge GPU.
That reminds me, we made Your Own AI work local Offline models on a 2014 Mac in this release. Not too quickly, but offline first working on a 2014 machine is pretty great.
There are new Offline models, Hemmingway 1 and The Drummers Skyfall 31B. Both are awesome for writing.
The new OpenAI and Grok Online models are in it too.
Also @obsdmd & @logseq notes integration. Goto Tools in the Add-ons section to set up.
There is heaps more. It's rad.
I mean, look at the size of this changelog:
github.com/WeAreFlowsta/Your…
If you haven't downloaded it yet, it's time. If you're already running Your Own AI, then this update is really worth it.
Your Own AI 0.8.0 is out 🎉
Download @ yourownai.net/download/
🗒️ Your AI can read and write to your Obsidian and Logseq notes.
📂 Keep a folder in sync. Your AI keeps up as your files change.
💬 Talk while it's answering. Your message goes next.
🛠️ New Projects UI overhaul. Agentic coding and projects never looked so good
Plus so much more..

What do we actually know about this "hack"?
Was it simply bad security?
AI is being used for attacks and defence. It is what it is.
The recent AI hack is not a wake-up call, it's a call to arms. Gov’s & regulators need to move much faster if we have any hope of putting guardrails around this rapidly evolving technology. And the corporations responsible for creating it need to be held accountable. #politas

Sign in with Google, mmmm, maybe not..
🦔Google is now prompting users on its homepage to set up a selfie video to sign into their account. You record a short video of your face from different angles. Google says it's an optional backup sign-in method. The setup page says the video may also determine if you're "old enough to use certain Google services."
An optional toggle lets Google use your video to "improve facial recognition, age estimation, and other verification methods that use your physical features or movement, across Google services."
My Take
Passwords work. Two-factor authentication works. Google already knows your phone number, your location, your search history, and your email. Now they want a 3D map of your face. They've positioned it as a convenience feature so you can get back into your account if you're locked out. But the fine print says they can use it for age verification and, if you opt in, to train facial recognition across all of Google's services.
You can change a password. You can get a new phone number. You can't change your face. Once Google has a 3D video scan of it, that data exists forever in their systems. Google used CAPTCHAs to train image recognition for years before most people realized it. The selfie video is the same idea with much more personal data attached. I don't think it stays optional for long. Every one of these starts as optional until enough people set it up, and then it becomes required for "security purposes."
If you see this prompt, click "don't set up" and move on.

Universal and Sony are suing Suno for data laundering.
This is such an important case to uphold creators' copyright.
This new lawsuit from Universal & Sony against Suno is big, because it makes an argument many have made previously outside of court: that training on ‘synthetic data’ should not get you off the hook for copying people’s work for AI training.
In the new lawsuit, the labels:
- allege Suno v6 was trained on outputs of previous “tainted” models (which themselves were trained on the labels’ music)
- say this amounts to “launder[ing]” [the infringement]
- expand the list of works they claim have been infringed to over 60,000 (from ~600 in their original lawsuit), which theoretically increases Suno’s maximum potential liability to around $9 billion
I suspect we will soon see more lawsuits around AI companies’ use of ‘synthetic data’.

The Flowsta Vault 1.4.0 release is a significant one.
Although there are some nice ux and ui fixes, most of this work for this one is under the hood.
This release creates the plumbing for having more than 1 Flowsta identity on your computer and is another big step towards multi-device and mobile.

Restoring is one straight path. After a recovery-phrase restore the Vault asks the one question that matters: import your backup export, or continue without.
The import brings back your records, your app backups and now your email.

Also in 1.4.0: a restored Vault says "Syncing from the network" until your signatures are back, and Your Data reads simpler: Export Data, Import Data, less text.

This is brilliant.
For too long, even if you have the data on who is who and what they are doing in government, it's not practical to keep track of it. How can you even think of keeping them accountable?
I see this kind of thing being useful beyond government in orgs of all kinds, especially as AI agents are thrown into the mix.
Introducing the US Gov Graph - a complete map of the people and positions of power in the federal government.
To fix our institutions we must understand how they work, so we are using AI to model and monitor every government in America. This is Palantir for The People.
Check it out here: graph.civlab.org/us
We exist to set the conditions for an era of civic excellence unmatched since the Founding. We will need nothing less to navigate the age of AI.
I'm looking for exceptional engineers and designers to work with me in San Francisco. If that's you, inquire here: tally.so/r/KY97RK. Self-governing civilization is counting on you.

I've never met Paul in person, but I have the utmost love, respect and gratitude for him.
From day 1 of me building with Holochain, he has been there, gently guiding me.
The combination of technical know how, plus real heart he has, is unfortunately all too rare.
I'm honoured to share this journey with Paul and everyone else contributing to Holochain.
It's such a special thing to see the faith turn into reality.
I could've been making much more money elsewhere, but I'm stubborn and I've stuck it out, through all the frustrations, grief, insults, and setbacks, because I believe that Holochain can be part of the answer to how to un-fuck this world.

We're grateful to all of you for being as stubborn as us, for putting your trust in us as we build for a world without capturable centres. Read Holo Ventures' paper for a frank facing of our challenges, our accomplishments, and why we believe the world needs this now more than ever.
Holo Ventures just published a new paper. In the nine years since we published the original Green Paper, we can look back and say three things:
1. Our diagnosis of where the world was heading was spot-on.
2. We underestimated how long it would take to build a solution.
3. The world needs capture-resistant infrastructure more than ever.
We're saying this now because one thing has changed: the infrastructure is ready.
It's been a long journey, but we've passed the hardest milestones and we're ready to help you rebuild the world different. Come build with us.
