yeah, that's why I said it's unlikely to happen.

lot's of people coming for why's head because he talked about using AI.

I don't think this will happen, but a truly poetic way for bluesky to die would be for people to get its devs fired one by one until the site implodes.

Ah, the Oliver Cromwell quote was not familiar enough to me for "I beseech you" to trigger it.

I don't get "I beseech you" picturing a digestive system?

🎶Past to the left of me,
future to the right,
Here I am,
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU🎶

If we have an energy crisis do you think wfh is going to come back?

It's a subtle bit, but ending with fueling your patreon like the eternal flame really made this one.

Goddamn

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives posting on sub-menus behind that pale blue dot.

He's pretty important tbh.

Everybody always says "light cone" but I prefer "light degenerate hyperboloid."

Do you think the models are going to chat like this after we're gone?

Yeah.... Ok.

funnily enough, the trend has already begun! arxiv.org/abs/2603.00805

Surely they could have gotten them across the mountains safely right? Instead of making them go through Moria?

The precipitating event was bluesky descending on a bluesky developer telling him he was a bad person and/or delusional for the fact that, like most software engineers now, almost all of his code is written by LLMs.

It's sad that Gimp's wonderful nondestructive editing was released in the year where AI obviated almost all of the desire for free image editors.

Doesn't matter, I'll keep using that garbage.

I know this time is different and all but a lot of years that seemed not real to me have come and gone, and the future is probably realer than you expect.

I just think people need to be aware of this stuff you know bsky.app/profile/norv...

Online shopping, for instance is definitely the green region in that it is typically both more effective than shopping in a store, and takes less time.

I was just putting that there as a calibration point that one-to-one replacement with real world activity is assumed to be on the 45° line, and if something is in the green region it is supposed to be a more efficient replacement.

Honestly should have made the wave like 1000x bigger.

Those don't feel similar to me. Individual wars can be shortened, stopped, or prevented. Tyranny can be overthrown. Imagine if war or tyranny were growing exponentially every month and soon to be the most valuable thing on earth. It's a whole different category.

I just don't want people to be in denial that the wave is real.

I don't think that's true of big things generally. Big things are swayed by small actions all the time. But this is just too big.

Maybe this is what Roko's Basilisk does. It just neglects to feed anyone who didn't buy anthropic.

Bluesky reacting to the great wave off kanagawa. "The wave is immoral and so is anyone who tries to ride it!"

I john henried this for old time's sake.

There are some ways of getting exposure.
