A 100M$ dollar raise that somehow includes both Bain Crypto and The Knight Foundation. The future is amazing; much stranger than i imagined.

Last April, Bluesky raised $100M in Series B funding led by Bain Capital Crypto. Since then: 13M → 43M users. Join us. bsky.social/about/blog/03-19…

I think Sinofsky’s insight extends to social artifacts in general. Once everyone can do something, you aren’t differentiated. Once you aren’t differentiated, nobody cares...

I am much more vehement about this. I think that OpenAI's product choices are deeply deeply antisocial and inhumane. The way that they've implemented chat bots are isolating, sycophantic and have no reality in your relationships with others save for how you represent them.
i have a theory that those more susceptible to relationships with chatbots do not have groupchats in their lives the groupchat is, imo, an indispensable part of modern life in a world where we commune IRL less one needs a place to BS and get checked by friends on dumb stuff

These are _choices_ that OpenAI, Anthropic et al have made. There's no reason these technologies _have to_ work like this. Even Grok here is at least mildly more social in terms of how people interact with it.

And we can reflect on which scifi stories or tropes chat bots most resemble. It's definitely not StarTrek's Data or Starfleet's ship computers. For my money it's more like virtual reality in the Red Dwarf books.

The ATProto dev community is on the cusp of some amazing new things. Dan Abramov imploded his account here, but he just published a deep dive into the promise of ATProto: overreacted.io/open-social/

And yet, people continue looking to it across the political spectrum.
political violence is never the answer praying for this nation…

This incredible incompetence of the FBI under Kash Patel seems like a huge story.
Crazy that this guy was literally talking about his plans to shoot up this church for a month on the open internet, but @FBIDirectorKash and @PamBondi are too busy going after imaginary MS-13 Home Depot workers, if only they were doing their jobs instead. :(

Breakneck is full of original reporting, smart insights, and details about China I can’t find anywhere else. @Noahpinion and I are hosting a chat on 8/22 with @danwwang before the book comes out. Details here: lu.ma/gk9j5v06

Everyone from @tylercowen to @benthompson has been impressed with @danwwang’s new book on China, Breakneck. But not enough startup founders and tech execs are paying attention to the insights he’s writing about. So I’m hosting a virtual chat next Friday 8/22...

This is cool. @germnetwork built an MLS based End to End Encrypted messenger, and because #atproto is open, they can build an integration to connect ATProto users directly to their E2EE protected Germ messenging.
