The fuck were they expecting? No one wants your stupid AI bullshit.

They try to cram AI into everything, so its easier to just block it everywhere possible as a response

I genuinely don't understand why they even added an AI? Do they even know their own users and community? Genuinely a baffling move on their part.

The tech bro executive types are all high on their own farts and literally cannot imagine anyone not being as enthusiastic about AI as they are.

They're true believers on the whole 'AI is the next stage in computing' thing: https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.com/post/3mid65y6jws2j

I have this pet theory that the reason tech companies have gone all in on LLMs is that they've given up on innovating in traditional interface (GUI design and suck) and see a natural language interface as the only way forward. Seeing what Frazee is saying in that thread makes that thought harder to dismiss.

Bluesky is being taken over by VC iirc

Wasn't expecting that one!

Some crypto venture capitalist invested $100 million in Bluesky a year ago, but for some reason they only recently disclosed it. Almost as if they have something to hide.

But no worries, I'm sure the crypto venture capitalists only have our best interests in mind. Why wouldn't we trust them with our social media.

The general Bluesky mottos is block early, block often. I'm ok with that.
