How About Some AI With Your Bluesky?

A tale of two social networks.

Last week some enterprising Mastodon account was discovered to be scraping posts to feed to an AI for the purpose of helping people navigate the Fediverse. The response was swift. The alarm went out. The account was widely blocked and shunned.

Yesterday to great fanfare #Bluesky announced, as a new corporate feature, all posts would be scraped and an AI would now help users navigate the ATmosphere.

Rewatching Crazy, Stupid Love, and it's funny how, 15 years ago, New Balance and all those other chunky, Dad shoes were considered ugly. These days, everyone seems to be wearing them.

Sartorial comfort wins!
