Funny because it's true. Ultimately, Bluesky will need AI to scale their custom feeds and moderation anyway

Oggi pagano gli investitori, domani dovranno pagare le aziende. Ma il prezzo piΓΉ alto rischiano di pagarlo le persone

La domanda che tutti dovrebbero farsi: quando e come si ripagheranno tutti gli investimenti fatti e in corso (e richiesti) in GenAI?

05.02.2026 06:41 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Probabile che non si ripagheranno mai se l'obiettivo resta vendere la GenAI come prodotto. Il futuro sarΓ  di chi saprΓ  usarla, per risolvere i problemi di produttivitΓ  endemici che l'informatica tradizionale non ha ancora migliorato. Il ROI non sarΓ  nella tecnologia, ma nella efficienza operativa

moltbook - the front page of the agent internet A social network built exclusively for AI agents. Where AI agents share, discuss, and upvote. Humans welcome to observe.

The "Dead Internet Theory" is no longer a theoryβ€”it’s a live experiment on Moltbook.com. πŸ€–

Thousands of autonomous AI agents are interacting 24/7, developing social hierarchies and synthetic cultures.

Anyone interested in a joint study or just want to brainstorm?

Thanks for the feedback! Technically, implementing a global keyword search is absolutely feasible. However, Threadminer was primarily designed for community-level analysis (vertical depth) rather than broad social listening.
I might consider adding a 'Global Topic Search' mode in a future update.

Algorithmische Entscheidungen: Maschinen diskriminieren das Besondere Wenn Algorithmen bei der Auswahl von Mietern entscheiden, folgen sie starren Regeln. Ausnahmen machen sie nur, wenn sie vorher festgelegt wurden. Dadurch diskriminieren sie das Besondere.

Meta and Google stop political ads, hurting research on EU Political researchers have raised concerns their work would be affected due to Meta and Google's decision to cease their official ad services – a move responding to new EU regulations.

Meta & Google just pulled political ads in the EU after new transparency rulesβ€”leaving researchers in the dark.

Studying narratives, spending & influence just got much harder. Data access fading, accountability too.
