Initially I liked the idea, but the more I think about it the more this feels like it just boils down to: only allow contributions from a list of trusted people.

I often wonder how much of the Harry Potter books were used in the training. How long before some LLM is able to regurgitate full HP books without access to the internet?

How many others are now reluctant to open source their code because they don't want it to end up in the training for an LLM? I certainly am.

Yes, anyone can. But unless Bluesky treats it as a trusted verifier then it doesn’t have much practical use.

> By the end of 2025, we had verified 4,327 accounts total: 3,567 verified directly by Bluesky and 777 verified by our network of 21 Trusted Verifiers. It would be nice to see some more transparency around the decisions of whether an acc

Genuinely wondering: how is Moltbook not yet overrun by spam? Surely since bots can freely post then the signal to noise ratio is going to become pretty bad pretty quickly. It’s just a question of someone writing some scripts to spam it int

If it’s for normies then why is the open source hardish-to-use self-hosted version of this the thing that’s becoming popular? Or is there enough normies willing to jump through hoops for this?

I think it’s a lot more interesting to build the opposite of this: a social network for only humans. That is what I’m building at https://onlyhumanhub.com

I'm convinced of the opposite. I think a lot more software will be closed source so that an LLM cannot reproduce it from its training data for free.

by dom96 9mo ago
AFAIK their issue is that LLMs have been trained on their paid product (Tailwind UI, etc.) and so can reproduce them very easily for free. Which means devs no longer pay for the product. In other words, the open source model of "open c

Yeah, fair, I could have been clearer. But yes, that is what I meant: breaking the license.
133.
by dom96 9mo ago
Even the MIT license requires attribution, all of that gets lost when training an LLM.
134.
by dom96 9mo ago
Yeah, that's what I meant by "stolen", I should have been clearer. But indeed, this is the crux of the problem, I have no faith that licenses are being abided by.

Do we have any stats for the number of GitHub discussions created each month to compare to this?

Slightly off-topic, but I notice Cosmos Laundromat (2016) is on that page. One of my favourite animated shorts ever. Something so unique about it. It would be nice to get a feature length version of it, but alas.

oh yeah, I'm a fan of this game too. To my surprise, even though it's delisted I can still install it. That's certainly better than the alternative.

Why HTML? Why not SVG? I created an svg to png API to generate open graph images a while back. It works pretty well and can be hosted on Cloudflare Workers for free. https://github.com/dom96/svg-renderer

The soundtrack is the best part of this game and I'm surprised this site is just allowing anyone to play this, with the soundtrack as-is.

Genuinely can someone with knowledge of the business explain why they aren't simply doubling down on making Firefox better? Is there an existential problem facing them that they are trying to solve by adding AI into the browser?

This seems to focus on "verifying" accounts using SMS, but I have never been asked by any service to do this. When does this happen?

Honestly, there should be more laws on how children should be brought up.

It wasn't an intentional omission, we weren't aware of this feature in AWS Lambda. The blog post has been updated to reflect that the numbers are for Lambda without SnapStart enabled. Python Workers use snapshots by default and un

(I work at Cloudflare, but not on D1) I believe this is possible, you can create D1 databases[1] using Cloudflare's APIs and then deploy a worker using the API as well[2]. 1 - https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/

I haven't kept up to date with this, but last I heard we still aren't certain how much energy AI training/inference actually takes at the big AI companies (OpenAI/Anthropic). Have any of these companies shared this since

Pretty cool, love the criticism and it does feel somewhat realistic: https://news.ysimulator.run/item/142
