Do you have any sources about this?

I had suspected stuff like this happened at the end of WW2 but I’ve never heard any concrete stories

The key is how healthy atproto is outside of bluesky by then

From one post-communist Mixed Socialist-Market economy to another.

I’ve heard this called “social chaff”

AIs generating false data for you to hide behind may be one of the few good things to come out of the LLM craze.

The falcon rockets are fine but SpaceX has been raising prices on their launches since they won the majority of the contracts.

It used to cost 20 million a seat on the Soyuz until Russia became the sole provider of crewed launches, then they raised the price to about 80 million a seat.

Along comes musk and promises 20 million a seat and low and behold after the contracts are fulfilled they raise the price to 80 million as well.

SpaceX is falling into the same rut every company that becomes a monopoly enters into, and Starship is Musk’s personal meme rocket the taxpayer has already shelled out 4 billion for, and there’s not even a launch with a working payload.

SpaceX looks cool flashy as shit but they over-promise and under-deliver at the same rate Tesla does. Early success giving way to overconfidence and an inability to deliver on their lofty promises.

I don’t see this as a bad thing, maybe china landing people on the moon before us will light a fire on both sides of the aisle to stop fucking around with commercial space contracts.

Over-reliance on SpaceX is causing the same problems to Artemis that over-reliance on Boeing caused the SLS program. A year and a half behind schedule, blown their entire budget on a meme rocket that only potentially lifts half the tonnage promised.

And then right after he posts this fucking video of himself playing Diablo 2 while in a SpaceX launch review meeting:

If nothing else the atproto is pretty great, we’re starting to see a proper federated net start opening up around it.

The faith people have that shotwell is insulating SpaceX from Musk’s incompetency feels more hopeful than factual.

Waiting for a 8x1B MoE

Anyone else remember when people were making expert systems with scheme and saying that was the end of doctors etc?

Ironically thanks in no small part to Facebook releasing Llama and kind of salting the earth for similar companies trying to create proprietary equivalents.

Nowadays you either have gigantic LLMs with hundreds of billions of parameters like Claude and ChatGPT or you have open Models that are sub-200B.

I could be mistaken too, this has all only recently become interoperable so there’s some growing pains

Isn’t that what Whitewind is doing?

Yes! Actually.

The full atproto up and running with bluesky is only in the last month or so, so people are finally starting to trickle out and set up their own services and hosts.

It’s actually very promising and hopeful.

This doesn’t seem to be that big an issue as PDS’s can just directly communicate with one-another like how ActivityPub works.

I wouldn’t lump bluesky in the same pile as threads anymore, the atprotocol is fully up and running and slowly but surely individually hosted data servers are trickling out and away to their own services.

There’s even new services running completely independent of bluesky running on atproto now: https://whtwnd.com/about

There’s a really good write-up on how atproto federation works here: https://whtwnd.com/alexia.bsky.cyrneko.eu/3l727v7zlis2i

If you treat an AI like anything other than the rubber duck in Rubber Duck Programming you’re using it wrong.

What’s great about lawsuits like this is you really only have to prove intent and they have a record of them asking for similar imagery.

Yea one of the big ironies of history was that Abraham Lincoln was that he wanted to ship all of the newly freed slaves out of the US and back to Africa or South America: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linconia
