Maybe AI models destroying search results and trust in digital information will being a resurgence of people depending on librarians to get research information. 😛
@mauve Mutual curation 💖💕
@robin Yeah! A lot of my work on p2p databases has the idea of "community built search indexes" and "merging indexes from multiple communities without centralized servers" as core principles.
Stuff like cultural institutions, fan communities, and meta aggregators that curate high quality indexes (based on social trust) is also on my mind.
@mauve I would love to pick your brain on this stuff at some point, see https://hackmd.io/@browsers-n-platforms/HykU2_jws for the sprawling madness.
Will you be at Thing?
@robin Yeah, my brain is all for being picked in that direction.
I might be at Thing, depends on whether I can get accomodations / travel figured out. I'm probably gonna present on p2p DBs there but I don't know if that'll enable me any sort of travel stipend.
I'm not working for PL at the moment so it's less clear. :P
@mauve Ah, rats, well — I hope I'll see you there! If not, I'm happy with other brain picking methods :)
