Incredible.
Confirming the results of a study from earlier this month:
"Only 26% of voters view AI positively, making it even less popular than ICE, according to an NBC News poll of 1,000 voters."

THIS IS MADNESS
you know how people have traditionally created custom feeds of information from the web? using apps that parse RSS & ATOM files.
🗣YOU DO NOT NEED TO CODE TO USE RSS
Bluesky is the one supposed to do the coding, not users.
there is absolutely no justification nor rationalization for using #Bluesky. NONE WHATSOEVER. Bluesky is the “gentler, kindler” #nazi bar that will burn down whole forests, dry up all rivers instead of using open web standards.

About 10 days ago Bluesky proudly announced it got 100m investment, largely from cryptobros:

Today they are proudly announcing an "AI product" that relies on scraping your posts.

How About Some AI With Your Bluesky?A tale of two social networks.
Last week some enterprising Mastodon account was discovered to be scraping posts to feed to an AI for the purpose of helping people navigate the Fediverse. The response was swift. The alarm went out. The account was widely blocked and shunned.
Yesterday to great fanfare #Bluesky announced, as a new corporate feature, all posts would be scraped and an AI would now help users navigate the ATmosphere.

Bluesky have introduced Attie.ai, and the backlash is both brutal and hilarious. Block it today :) https://theliquidfrontier.leaflet.pub/3mi5pwkoqx22g fyi @aj@gts.sadauskas.id.au @mick_collins@toot.communitygusseting (Mastodon)

Catching up with some of the news coming out of the Atmosphere conference.
"With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot."
I'm guessing NFT profile pictures are next?

I am thankful that I do not need to say „thankyou“ to #Bluesky, the company and its investors for the verification of accounts or to ask them for changes in their configuration so that my social media platform is working.
It shows how dependent #Eurosky and #ATProto still is on Bluesky. They are at the mercy of them. And I do not trust Eurosky to be ever free and fully independent, even if I really want to believe in it.
Please change my mind, but for now I keep on building on ActivityPub.
Jack Dorsey about #Bluesky :
> "You were the original force behind Bluesky. Are you happy with it now?
> "No, because it's gone to the other ideology. I left the board. It started taking investment from VCs and building like a normal company. I understand why, but it's not what I signed up for, and it's not why we created the project. We created it to be an open protocol for everyone, not to be something that's against Twitter or against other social media...."
@Jerry Curious if there’s a plan to monetize #Bluesky you are aware of? Two points to accent your post:
- criticism on #Mastodon initially feels like smearing a rival platform first, investigative reporting second. (Feel free to push back on that, it’s just the vibe I get when I read these articles)
- bureaucracy is an issue with brand communication. This MAY be what Bluesky is encountering because the United States needs to have a serious conversation about the illusion of brand
Mike Masnick, who sits on the board of #Bluesky, claims the team was too busy to announce the series B funding (see screenshot).
But something is fishy.
Even the VC firm - Bain Capital Crypto - isn't listing Bluesky anywhere on their website: baincapitalcrypto.com/portfoli…
Why the mystery? Was Bluesky afraid of a public backlash & asked to keep the information under wraps?
Sorry if I keep repeating myself but I will forever be skeptical of Bluesky and think of the tale of the scorpion and the frog.
Can you imagine Mastodon raising 100 MILLION dollars from a crypto VC fund and failing to disclose it... for a full year? No I can't either.
And from their actual press release: "The Atmosphere currently contains about 20 billion public records—the posts, likes, comments and other interactions that bring the ecosystem to life. It's an astonishing collection of what open social infrastructure makes possible."

I think I'm gonna ask all the commissioners with a #bluesky account, to *at least* enable #bridgyfed

I missed this somehow. But getting a — told you so — vibe here. The venture capitalists are now taking over #Bluesky completely! 🍻 Now I can sleep well. 💤
Wired: *Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down*
"Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will take over as interim CEO as Bluesky’s board of directors hunts for a permanent replacement."
Wasn't there a Fediverse Bluesky bridge somewhere for Mastodon?
I'd like to follow this account from Mastodon:
"As Bluesky matures, the company needs a seasoned operator focused on scaling and execution, while I return to what I do best: building new things."
