Can someone explain to me what "Gobo" is in the 500 characters of a Mastodon post or less?

All I can figure on a Google skim is that it has something to do with the MIT Media Lab and something to do with the Fediverse, and that it is considered amorphously Promising.

@mcc two things.

1) it it is no longer based at the Media Lab because the PI for the project was one of a very few people who quit on ethical grounds after the Epstein stuff. He, and the project, are now at UMass Amherst.

2) it wants to be a mega-reader for the fediverse where you can plug in all your accounts on different services and have a star trek style omni-interface with excellent filtering, etc

@darius @mcc oh it's an Ethan thing. i vouch for it not being wicked.
