Also potentially relevant: @metagov.bsky.social and the @publicai.network just released the Protopian Prize: protopianprize.com
“Protopian.” A new word created to describe “an achievable, optimistic future characterized by continuous, incremental progress rather than revolutionary leaps or a static, perfect state.”
There’s a new fiction prize to inspire protopian futures, and I am delighted to help judge.
This is a neat writing project, supported by @metagov.bsky.social. Check it out and consider submitting something.
