About
This is a non-profit and volunteer-based project, and it is my (Joel Galvez) latest attempt (out of three) to find a way to know what going on on Saturday without relying on social media.
My personal interest and focus is the artist-run spaces in and around Amsterdam, since that's where I live. The aim with this project is to find a functioning publishing model that can work in this (mostly) precarious environment. I've tried a couple of approaches in the past.
Now, thanks to AI, I'm at this point where it works well for me personally. By running email newsletters through a locally hosted LLM I can get a decent overview of what's going on.
What is the next step? The problem of "Staying up to date" has three facets: Collecting the data, sharing the data, and 'consuming' the data. Collecting the data has always been the hardest part for the small spaces that I care about. The aim is to make it cheap, simple and not reliant on anything centralised. Mobilizon is a decent solution for sharing and distribution, so the next step is to get the data into Mobilizon. Once that's achieved, the fun bit starts: To work on the design.
To use AI is not without problems and a bit wasteful, but I see it as starter-fuel for the fusion reactor. Once there is a working eco-system with public event data, we won't be needing AI anymore. The hard part is to get to that point, to break the network effect.
