Debate Mapping Program — The Society Library

@jamiejoyce.bsky.social is doing some interesting things at Society Library where they collect and archive all claims related to a topic and map full debates in an explorable format

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

The Society Library created two AI agents. One fact-checks and one researches. Available on X, Telegram, and Discord. Would love to bring them Bluesky. @nachristakis.bsky.social @annaciaunica.bsky.social @egrefen.bsky.social @xuanalogue.bsky.social Premise: societylibrary.medium.com/can-ai-agent...

We have an API you can call right now to build a bot. The only thing that needs to be built is bringing it to Bluesky

So we have already made a truth-seeking bot for X and Discord. It outperforms Grok in fact-checking. We would love to bring it to BlueSky

This is already a priority, but unlocking access to data/docs can supercharge the civic tech sector's ability to iterate/upgrade gov ops and deserves attention. We identified dozens of artifact, platform, and system-level issues for the @internetarchive during our time there.

The Department of Gov Efficiency is a great opportunity, but I don't think it should only be about budget efficiency. IMO some low-hanging fruit to increase gov efficiency would be to support improvements to the federal gov's knowledge management infrastructure.

Cool, how best do you think that could that be brought to fruition?

Could the same apply to BlueSky? X Article "Making X a Town Hall 🏛️" x.com/SocietyLibra...

Are outdated editions of books still useful? 🤔

Yes! For researchers like Spencer Kaplan, understanding how new concepts were originally presented is critical. Learn more about Kaplan’s work: https://blog.archive.org/2023/07/24/empowering-anthropological-research-in-the-digital-age/

Collecting, curating, cleaning, researching, labelling, organizing and presenting stones/rocks/minerals/gems. Now I do the same with data at the Internet Archive and The Society Library.

Hey, thanks for saying so!
