Fuck AI

I can kinda see the idea. Instead of putting the AI recommendation engine in the app, you have a separate app for it. Instead of relying on your behaviour, you decide what to prompt it to recommend.

But I think I'm probably being way too optimistic with this perspective description. If it is like I just described, though, I can see why some people would want to use it.

But it would likely still have to rely on collecting behavioural data to be any good, and it would cost humongous amounts of energy and resources... For very little benefit.

The bluesky rise kinda pissed me off. More so because all my artist friends that were on twitter went to bluesky instead of Mastodon when I told them about it as an alternative. everyone collectively decided to ignore a system that already existed and to the centralized thing again. Big suprise.

How it feels to be vindicated for not trusting/buying-in to a new fad

It's literally a twitter clone, what did you expect?

Just get off twitter, FFS. That entire website is a bane on humanity.

For those curious it sounds like the app is an ai powered discovery tool, where you tell it what kinda stuff you like and it tries to find stuff from across bsky to show you based on your interests you told it about

As long as it's open source and customizable, I don't see the problem with this.

It's not bad that we have algorithms to find content. I'm sorting the comments of this thread with an algorithm

The key is that I can choose which algorithm I want to sort by, that algorithm is open source, and I can write my own algorithm, if I want.

I knew it. Investors started pouring in, it was only a matter of time.
