A week or two ago, when there was a Bluesky outage and a Claude outage at the same time, people were earnestly pointing to that as evidence that Claude was somehow a load-bearing component of Bluesky, or that AI vibecoding had caused the outage... I had to just disengage but I was also very annoyed by it all.

- daveguy 6mo agoWhy would anyone blindly criticize AI tools, when there are so many flaws to see?
- walletdrainer 6mo agoClearly there are a plenty of people incorrectly blaming AI for bluesky outages, why indeed?
- jdgoesmarching 6mo agoThis isn’t surprising at all. It reminds me of staunch Apple haters who recycle superficial talking points as opposed to Apple nerds who have long lists of very pointed critiques. What annoys me the most bsky AI hate is the assumption that people who spend a lot of time working with LLMs don’t understand their weaknesses, as if we aren’t constructing systems and evaluations to determine precisely how much AI sucks for our given task.
- lxgr 6mo agoBecause that would take a minimum amount of effort, nuance, and reasoning, and the result would probably generate less interactions compared to a cheap shot based on vibes.
- cryzinger 6mo agoI don't think they're idiots, or blindly criticizing; but I do think there's a kind of kneejerk reaction spurred by (legitimate, understandable) anti-AI sentiment, plus the fact that most people have absolutely no clue how cloud hosting, infrastructure, or software development in general works. The frustrating part to me is when people who don't know much about a topic try to make big, sweeping statements about it!
- swasheck 6mo agopeople really do struggle to differentiate between correlation and causation. we humans love our patterns so that we can make sense of existence.
- avaer 6mo agoMore like a struggle to STFU about things people don't know much about. I don't think the comments are thought out at all beyond being said in reaction, or likely to get a reaction.
