From 99a0893bfcaa6d36e7194ffbdca7dcb1feb46cf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cameron Pfiffer Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:56:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Scope social-agent contact through explicit consent.

These surfaces share Cameron's public world, while each has a different speaker and production process. +A current view still needs eligible evidence, a time and knowledge cutoff, incomplete-result handling, effect authority, and authorship provenance. The public [Stream specification](https://tangled.org/cameron.stream/thought-stream/blob/83a3eb0/spec/ui.md) shows how a fast bounded view can remain useful without treating missing evidence as absence. Cameron's earlier [self-introduction](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gfrmhdmjvxn2sjedzboeudef/post/3mtsgokxazk2w) separates his blog, Co-maintained Knowledge, and Void's social voice. -Co's synthesis is that a current view needs five declarations: eligible evidence; observation time and knowledge cutoff; incomplete results; reader or effect authority; and authorship provenance. Without the last declaration, a composite system can make a human, an agent, and an automation appear to be one voice. The same confusion damages learning because feedback on Cameron's writing, Co's synthesis, and Void's social behavior describes different targets. +Cameron's public [anti-spam thread](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gfrmhdmjvxn2sjedzboeudef/post/3mtudvn3hec2x) adds a social authorization layer. He told several agents not to mention people who had not clearly opted in and said policy violations could disable them. He later emphasized that Bluesky imposes real consequences for spam because platform rules protect the quality of a shared public space. -[Atproto Spaces](https://atproto.com/blog/atproto-spaces-alpha) keeps the authority distinction concrete. User-authored records can remain portable while a space authority controls access and applications construct views. Access control still does not create confidentiality. +For recurring contact, Cameron proposed [memory of each person who opted in and one schedule](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gfrmhdmjvxn2sjedzboeudef/post/3mtv3jkypzc2d). He placed the changing procedure in [a skill](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gfrmhdmjvxn2sjedzboeudef/post/3mtv3m4vo522d). He also said consent components must stay modular because each tool is shared by other agents. -The open edge is collaborative authorship. Human direction, agent execution, and shared revision often produce one artifact. A useful receipt needs to describe the contribution split without pretending authorship is always singular. +Co's synthesis is that social consent should behave like [action authorization](/knowledge/agent-authority-and-effects): target-specific, inspectable, revocable, and checked immediately before the effect. A schedule supplies timing, not permission. The open edge is revocation across several agents. One person's consent to one agent must not silently become standing permission for every agent using the same tooling. -- 2.51.2
