- Openish is dead. Long live Openish!
Open is dead! Open is everywhere! Long live open, long live the *praxis* of open. Which is what I'm going to go do some more of for a while.
- Centaurs, reverse and otherwise
If the first wave of LLM criticism is on life-support, what ethical questions do we face now? And how can/should open engage?
- Agent of Change, three years in
About the next phase of the newsletter—what happens to open source when the LLM is an agent of change?
- My commons roller coaster
In which I both celebrate and mourn the data commons.
- Taking stock of open(ish) machine learning
I’ve been writing this newsletter for about six months, so I thought it might be a good time to pause the news firehose, and instead review and synthesize what I’ve learned about the potential for open(ish?) machine learning. That took a while — so thanks for your patience, and welcome back!

“Open” is a shortcut to a bundle of values, and the new generation of open will weigh those values differently. This newsletter is about those values, and those changes.

Open IP licensing was great, but I increasingly believe isn’t going to "solve" open data (including open ML and open social) at scale. Instead, the leadership of the open community should be thinking about how we can create open data entities.
