AFAIK the terms 'soft fork' and 'hard fork' entered the lexicon from the crypto world, where they refer to software changes that split a blockchain into sub-chains. With a soft fork, the sub-chains remain interoperable. A hard fork makes them incompatible; what IRC greyhairs might call a […]

Listening to the current #hardfork episode. I really hope Anthropic continues to refuse the military what it is asking for.

While I’m leery of AI, I appreciate the ways in which Anthropic has tried to stick to their principles unlike other AI companies.

Listening to the latest #hardfork podcast, got me wondering about how the models will "know" what's right when people even agree -- moral dilemmas and such... Also does lived experience matter, rather like asking a priest for marriage advice ;)

@caseynewton.bsky.social worth exploring AI toys in a future #HardFork episode?

Is it very #searchengine to start living the nomadic van life, does it become #hardfork if I take my laptop with me?

#forkiverse questions

#Fedaverse is the answer. Find me @Symbolik. #newyorktimes #hardfork gave me the scoop. I keep my followers across platforms. It's a protocol, not under corporate control. And, people on other Fedaverse social platforms still can follow and connect, brilliant!! I access w/ #mastodon.

@kevin @pj @Casey great #hardfork this week. Because you didn't ask for it, here are my thoughts. I do hope the forkiverse stays and hope other platforms adopt the activitypub as a way to distribute articles, podcasts etc. The interactions are key part that I think does the completing the […]

Die amerikanischen #Podcasts #HardFork und #SearchEngine haben letzten Freitag ihr #Fediverse-Experiment gestartet: das #forkiverse
Ich bin ja gespannt, ob ihre Erwartungen und die Realität zusammenpassen!

Podcast-Folge dazu: https://www.searchengine.show/the-fediverse-experiment/

@caseynewton.bsky.social Great episode of #HardFork this week. I wonder however how many subscriptions you guys have cost Squarespace! No sponsorship for you and Kevin I guess

#Federation works once again:

@pj, @Casey & @kevin are already followed by many accounts, that are not at theforkiverse.com. And roughly 3 to 6 % of the followers are not even on #Mastodon.

Is it on or in?
Anyway, we'll find out along the way.
But wait, why do you want to?

2025 - Medicare Advantage turned prescription refills over to AI — which denied refills. Seniors began dropping dead immediately. 2026 - Mills spent for an even larger AI budget. Skip Medicare Advantage.

BNB Smart Chain's Fermi Hard Fork is Just One Week Away: What to Expect? - Crypto Economy BNB Smart Chain targets the Fermi hard fork on Jan. 14 to reach 0.45 second blocks, as Op BNB speeds up and BNB dips.

The Fermi hard fork on BNB Smart Chain is just one week away, stirring anticipation about network enhancements.

It's not like AI has some kind of loyalty. It's like what Casey was saying on #HardFork. AI can be useful in doing some tasks.

As AI is increasingly used to make fakes then it can also be used to detect fakes. Classic tech arms race: current tech defeated by new tech, and so on and so on.

@caseynewton.bsky.social @kevinroose.com You were discussing on this week's #HardFork (on 2026 Resolutions) that some AIs could be useful (around the 31:00 mark). The common reply: "Example, please."

Where Is All the A.I.-Driven Scientific Progress?

Caught between excitement that "one of us" appears on a major podcast and cringe for parts of the discussion (mainly the self promotion, sadly a hallmark of otherwise enjoyable #hardfork)

Hard Fork Hosts Kevin Roose and Casey Newton explore stories from the bleeding edge of tech. What’s real? What’s hype? “Hard Fork” is here to help you make sense of it. Weekly on Fridays.

Please make sure to check out Casey and Kevin Roose on their podcast #HardFork

Don’t always agree with them, but they are shedding light on the biggest tech questions of our times.
