This thread is primed for shitting on Bluesky, but the level of discourse among the people I follow has only grown over the past few years. In no way does it feel like a dying platform. (Same for Mastodon, actually.)

Indeed. Recent choice words from Musk: * "Anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" * "She is a traitor to the West, plain and simple" (in reference to his recent interviewer) * "Deal with traitors before invader

Anecdotally, 90% of the interesting tech/art/gamedev people I’ve followed have moved to Bluesky or Mastodon at this point, and they’re never coming back.

Here's some totally normal stuff that Grok’s owner has been posting recently: * "Anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" * "She is a traitor to the West, plain and simple" (in reference to his recent interviewe

As I recall, there are nuances around certain types of files that require expert attention, such as links, files inside frameworks/packages, and unmaterialized iCloud Drive files.

Empathy hijacking. Eventually, they’ll try “I’m hurt that you won’t consider my suggestion for <advertised product/political position>.” And people will fall for it.

Because that’s what always happens? Because their raison d’etre is to squeeze you dry?

It will be absolutely hilarious when open source projects adopt the jqwik approach and start prompt injecting their code, comments, and any/all other text content. The LLM users’ histrionics will be delicious.

Your base premise is flawed. I know plenty of white collar workers who do not use AI for their job.

Not OP, but I’ve had horrible sleep over the past year. I had taken melatonin a while back before stopping, so on a whim, I decided to bite off a bit of one of my old 5mg pills before sleep. Didn’t give it any second thought — didn’t even t

It’s not. It’s extracted.

No, not everyone here is.

It is my experience that renters in my cohort (SF yuppie) are very much pro urban development. It’s the homeowners who are the biggest NIMBYs. They want their home values to increase and rent to go up. Reduced housing stock is a benefit t

OK, but as rental pressure increases, people will vote to protect themselves from arbitrary eviction. Period. No amount of hand-wringing over abstract economic theories will change this. No renter should have to live with the constant threa

I'm not here spreading unsourced rumors from "the left." Information of this sort should come from journalists, not vibes on social media.

Rent control doesn’t “feel good” — it allows for housing stability in a volatile economic environment. Without rent control, I would be de facto evicted from my home with a 50–100% rent increase from the recent AI boom. (This is literally h

Great work! Have you, or do you intend to, write about the process of bringing this to fruition? Would love to learn more about how a polished bit of hardware like this is designed.

An unsourced rumor going around a notoriously right-wing social media site? Definitely credible. This is basically a content-free comment that only serves to rile up the community.

The site has become a right-wing echo chamber and Musk's personal soapbox: https://www.natesilver.net/p/social-media-has-become-a-freak... About 90% of the interesting people I ever followed on Twitter are now on

Seems to me that empathy hijacking turns LLMs into a kind of mental cordyceps.

I wish we had multimodal Matter devices that could go over Thread or Wi-Fi (or even wired networking) depending on conditions.

AI seems to create a lot of Mouth of Sauron types. It's genuinely unsettling, assuming it's not just some sort of weird cosplay.

Guardrails on AI are a fantasy.

It's not likely, but it happens all the time . It's the only country where it does. And you get things like lockdown drills, kevlar backpacks, and armed teachers as a result. Even if most kids don't experience a school shoot
