It’s almost harvesting season!

@BelovedRapture @_GAi92 You can have genuine pity for people, even if they’re gullible morons who yearn for an eternal echo chamber.

Jack Dorsey, one of the Bluesky board of directors openly stated that he hated what Bluesky was becoming. It was never sold as the replacement to X, and he can be quoted saying;

"I think people are running away from X, rather than running to something on Bluesky"

Bluesky was intended to be open-source and decentralised. It was supposed to be something new that built up from the foundation of what came before.
And it used AI to do it.
Bluesky used Claude for AI coding, to both build and manage the site.

They didn't even hide it, but because they didn't make a song and dance about using AI or being Pro-AI the lefties who were blinded by AI Derangement Syndrome just ran to it and tried to turn it into Twitter 2.0.

They saw Bluesky say "We won't train AI on your posts" and assumed that meant Bluesky was Anti-AI. They put words in Bluesky's mouth and then believed it.
And now they're complaining that Bluesky lied? They never lied. You made assumptions then repeated them so much you began to believe them.

At worst, you can say Bluesky did nothing to correct the misconceptions. But why would they want to? They were just handed a massive userbase that would normally take years and a small fortune to build up.
It's not even like they lied by omission either. They continued to use X to announce updates.

I think one of the funniest things about this whole situation is the artist response. Artists genuinely deleted their entire portfolios from X because they believed it would be used to train AI, then posted all their art to Bluesky...
As someone who trains image gen LoRAs, I want to say this part in bold;
BLUESKY IS EASIER TO SCRAPE THAN X!
Artists actually deleted years of work, their entire artistic journey and all their reach as a kneejerk reaction over AI, then migrated to the site that was easier to scrape!

I feel bad for them, I really do. These people got fed a lie, fearmongered into believing they had to delete everything and run only to end up here, with their "safe space" now promoting the vibe-coding they so hate.
What do they do now? Run back to X? They already deleted everything, they'll have to start from scratch again. Slowly upload their art so as not to have the algorithm think they're a spam bot and pray it gets noticed by the right people. They sabotaged themselves for a lie, sold by their friends.

Sorry, this post is getting a bit ramble-y.
My point is - Bluesky never lied. It was never supposed to be Twitter 2.0. It was never supposed to be Anti-AI. It was never sold as the Anti-X.
That was all you. You guys made the assumption, then sold it that way to your friends.

@MarredBlank @RamblingsNerd2 @nichegamer "Mentioning a thread is not doxing" ok so if i were to mention a site that has your dox as well as your families address and pictures, you'd be cool with that? Geez Blank Marred, I saw your KF and ts was wild is all I'm gonna say. Nobody look into it!!!

What a retard.

@AI_EmeraldApple They’re trying to appeal to everyone from a financially compermised position. This was always going to happen at some point. All they had to do was to ignore the noise and to not vindicate any criticisms towards their brand by not blocking anyone.

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@donnyjtrumpeter @SmashJT @nichegamer @MadamSavvy Your comment was beyond easy and charitable and their response to it was so needlessly hostile ffs.

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@ESaAARONC @LoupBleu5 @S___Elliott @benryanwriter If it's any consolation, King authorized for the Dark Tower movie to be the direct continuation of the novel series with Roland chasing the Man in Black with the Horn of Eld. It was supposed to be the "last time go around" with the wheel of Ka stuff. Hopefully the show manifests.

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@MizusPuddle @nichegamer All they had to do was to be transparent. Everyone knows as a company they have to put food on the table somehow. But they attacked their consumer base by dying on the AAA bootlicker hill by being openly apathetic towards censorship.

Many such cases unfortunately.

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@nichegamer I have no horse in this race, but lets be real - hiding the replies and blocking anti-woke people such as @MadamSavvy was a bad move. In the end, you're going to have to pick a side. You're either a corporate woke bootlicker or a populist news group for anti-woke people.

@ChristinaTasty I regret buying war hammer 3 dlc

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@kokosghost @LoupBleu5 @S___Elliott @benryanwriter Idk why you’re so defensive about King. Even he openly admits he sucks at ending his stories (it part 2 remake) it’s ok to be critical of a pretentious author whose work is otherwise mostly positively received.

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@ESaAARONC @LoupBleu5 @S___Elliott @benryanwriter My bad if I spoiled a series that’s been concluded for over 22 years. But maybe don’t read into a discourse about said media if you don’t want spoilers. 🤷

That said if you mind a bad ending and sub plots that don’t really go anywhere, it’s still a decent series.

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@arejander @keeplousafe @hungryfuturian You’re only as good as your subscription then.

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@LoupBleu5 @S___Elliott @benryanwriter The part where they’re rebuilding the town and the epilogue where way out of his depth. Hes really good at setting the stage, not so much as captaining the story to a conclusion. Even his beloved magnum opus, the Dark Tower, pitfalls onto the story-cycle cliche. He hates finality

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@KissEmrys @MillieDaRock Post it!

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@KinoKiwiMedia Isn’t he married?

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@RootsRooty @bahlivern Unlike Bethesda, ludeon studios is not a greedy out of touch corporation that tries to force you to purchase mods or update. Even if mod incompatiblty is an issue, you can downgrade easily on steam properties.

Why Skyrim lacks this feature is beyond me.

[Maxwell @gjhuh]

@KinoKiwiMedia Most sekturites are like cockroaches who run away from the light to stay below the radar. His irrelevancy is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in keeping the heat off of him.

@Awk20000 Who is bro? 😂
