Hi Casters. USV stopped at the gas station last year and now that we've turned the new engine on, we thought we'd share that news https://blog.usv.com/2024-usv-core-fund

“If we all owned our own data and could make it completely portable, what would we do with it?” Two category errors here. First, the propertization of data. Property is a concept developed for rivalrous resources. Data / information are ripe with anti-rivalrous potential.

Second, portability invokes stocks that might be moved. Data can only become useful information however in the context of it flowing, when it’s in motion, and very frequently in transcontextual intermingling.

In short, thinking of data in a computer science paradigm doesn’t get us anywhere near as far as being inspired by information in nature. For more, I invite you to check out https://cyborg.social

Wholeheartedly agree that data "ownership" is a category error. My question though is how would you create the incentive structures needed to be able to treat data as part of a flow system (without others simply extracting value from the "data" you create for this system)?

Thanks for the question @abundance. My reply can only be biomimetic, for what other heuristics might we more reliably rely upon when interfacing with natural systems? None. But we can get there by starting where we are. 1/n
