Key topics: Accountability; KYC (Know-your-peer); LLM as affordance or agent; Sharing; Dignity

Decentralized infrastructure offers the possibility of creating membraned spaces where groups have a measure of sovereignty over the information they collectively create. But this sovereignty becomes limited by the desired LLM inference resources available inside the membrane. How can In such spaces create shared access to those resources what are the dynamics of such sharing? For example, if every node during a video call transcribes only their own audio, and the resulting transcript is stitched together, the whole can become greater than the sum of the parts.

Exactly how LLM capacities can be offered and shared in such spaces matters. They can appear as affordances to the tools that use them. Or they be offered as "agents" that appear as people. Is one way of doing this better than another? What are the social consequences of doing so?

In this workshop we will show some of the ways we are delivering on these questions in the world of Holochain and Moss. Then using that as a starting point, we will open the conversation to explore what others are doing and look to arrive guidance for how these technical answers lead to serving the creativity, relationality and discernment that's possible in groups.
