Some people think, “oh this witch leaving a note means she’s really powerless and I can keep taking the rhubarb.” It’s not going to be so awesome when she forecloses on his first-born.
- Comment on Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet 1 week ago:
Commercial software has advertising: people whose job is to advertise it. That means TV and web ads for Bluesky, influencers talking about it. It also means a team of software engineers building parts of the system specifically to draw people in, whereas non-commercial software often rejects that (lack of infinite-scroll on Lemmy’s default UI, for example).
Activity Pub also requires a different mind-set that doesn’t exist elsewhere on the internet today. You need to decide which instance to join, or maybe to host your own instance. But it doesn’t really matter, because you can federate with other instances. But you have to drive some of that federation, so it does matter a little. It’s pretty complex and confusing and its a problem that only exists in this one niche of software.
Bluesky gives you an infinite feed that feels like you’re connected to the entire Internet without you doing any work. I think the AP service are doing really well, considering what they’re up against.
- Comment on People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies 3 weeks ago:
Based on the article, it seems like cult-follower behavior. Not everyone is susceptible to cults (I think it’s a combo of individual brain and life-circumstances), but I wouldn’t say, “eh, it’s not the cult’s fault that these delusional people killed themselves!”

Not an answer to your question, but I thought this was a nice article for getting some basic grounding on the new AI stuff: arstechnica.com/…/a-jargon-free-explanation-of-ho…

I’m holding out hope that we can still turn it around and defeat Santa Claus
