@film_girl @anildash While I don’t want to argue with you about your definition of fun, I would say that calling Bluesky objectively more fun is going a bit too far. When you’re blind like me and Bluesky hasn’t made the effort to consider how its interface makes every single thing I do unnecessarily hard by not taking accessibility into account in its initial design phase, it’s hard to say that Bluesky is fun.

@SarahBreau @delong LLMs don’t abstract; humans have to classify the training set for them.

There’s a shedload of harm happening now. It’s happening because greed is a sin, not because of some spectral possibility of an inhuman intelligence.

I dunno, I don’t begrudge anyone their choices about how to social media, but I’m just done with providing free beta testing and Thought Leadership to another commercial service to help them reach exponential growth.
If the service matures and cross-federation is possible I’ll enjoy following good people on Bluesky or wherever. I’m just gonna sit out the part where I’m acting as unpaid QA.
