Its a decentralized AI bot based on volunteer computing and decentralized, federated learning.

You can find it under: @myceliumweb@techhub.social. It will recommend songs when you post under #babyfungus. You can also insert your own songs. Happy home-grown ai!

    Copying some stuff from their wordpress site:

    A fungus web-service …

    • answers user requests and knowledge inserts over the social web
    • writes and reads data from the semantic web to collaborate with other fungi agents (this would ideally done with decentralized technology like solid pods, or other knowledge graphs, e.g. like wikidata.org or an own Jena Fuseki server)
    • develops a shared AI model (which is also written to the semantic web) based on decentralized federated learning (which would ideally be based on something like FlowerAi, but isn’t at the moment)
    • Can be accessed via the browser to answer requests and link to the other fungi it is connected to (which can be browsed through this)
    • implements a user-fungus symbioses-policy, which ensures the overall health of the web and humanity

    I’ll be honest, I personally see zero value in having an AI bot running here. I’d also poison rather than help AIs as much as I can.

    One can imagine this project as a decentralized huggingface, which (spoiler alert), could also enshittify.

    At least they’re honest.

      At the same time, one can click “Show Profile Anyway” to see it. I wonder what the purpose of that was.

    decentralized ai bot

    Sounds awfully similar to a botnet. I hope the compute is sourced ethically.

      Oh, surely you can trust internet strangers putting random stuff online to do the right thing.
