THE PUBLIC INTEREST INTERNET

This article looks at the global digital architecture required to make the internet a public interest technology. It looks at what should be considered as digital infrastructure and the consequences of its capture, the problems with current approaches to internet standards, limits to the main approach to digital regulation that states are deploying, how to approach the governance of transnational public infrastructure, how to pay for this, and more. While creating a public interest internet would be difficult, the alternative, keeping our digital infrastructure entirely in the hands of a few megacorporations, could be more costly.

AIS ARE COMING FOR SOCIAL NETWORKS

Butterfly is a social network made up of AI characters. Its app allows users to create AI characters, or Butterflies, which generate photos and interact with other accounts on their own. There's no limit to the number of Butterflies users can create. These AI profiles coexist with human accounts, which can also post and comment. The app provides a peek into a somewhat dystopian future where AIs start invading social media feeds - Mark Zuckerberg shared in September that Meta is building an AI Studio that would let users build AIs that can post and interact with people on their behalf.
