* The Gathering the-gathering.earth/ "Humanity is in the depths of a meta-poly-meaning crisis, the only path forward is through a great transformation. A wave of visionary people, organisations and movements has emerged developing new ideas, systems, embracing the opportunities presented by the world we face today. Human groups need gatherings to nourish them, we come together to build connection, relationships, and collaborations. The Gathering is a festival, a conference, a fair, a catalyst in building ecosystems of collaboration. The Gathering brings together companies, communities, villages, tribes, DAOs - organisations, formal and informal, dedicated to building a better future, to taking humanity on a journey to becoming a wise species."

* Emad Mostaque on a Three-Tiered AI System wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Emad_… Carlos Perona et al. : "Emad Mostaque, former CEO of Stability AI, now at a company called Intelligent Internet. theorises a three-tier model: This consists of: * Hypernodes: supercomputers able to crunch massive amounts of data from which they derive algorithmic parameters: the foundational AI. * National nodes: these receive the Hypernode’s model (the foundational AI) and retrain it or specialise it on specific cultural imperatives and national priorities. This results in a specialised AI. * Edge nodes: meaning private citizens who personalise the specialised AI with their own private data. This results in a personalised AI which would not go back to the Cloud, but be stored locally on a privately owned device (you can run very good AI programs offline using very little electricity on commercially available devices). The foundational AI would be open source, and thus would be made available so that it can be specialised and personalised by different countries or regions and private citizens. Mostaque calls this Universal Basic AI (a play on Universal Basic Income). In essence, this is simply applying the principle of Subsidiarity or Sphere Sovereignty — a traditional, Christian, decentralist, pro-local, understanding of political economy—to a new technology. This paradigm represents an alternative to the tech oligarchy’s proprietary closed-source model and the idea that progress requires centralisation by ever more data-crunching machines."
