I don't hang out on #Bluesky and I'm all in on the #Fediverse, but I have to admit that when I occasionally go over to Bluesky to see a thread that somebody has linked here or that was bridged here via #BridgyFed, I find that the comments on the thread tend to be quite good.
There's definitely an early-Twitter-before-it-turned-to-shit vibe to it.
Mind you, I don't think it will last, because everything backed by #VC eventually eventually enshittifies, but right now, it really is pretty good.

“Here is the state of venture capital in early 2025:
Venture capital is moribund except AI.
AI is moribund except OpenAI.
OpenAI is a weird scam that wants to burn money so fast it summons AI God.
Nobody can cash out.”
With his typical thoughtful restraint, @davidgerard has told some hard truths:

I don't share the author's sentiment that this is good.
LLMs are an incredibly inefficient way to poorly mimic some aspects of cognition. The market seems to agree, in that there aren't any important use-cases for the technology to date.
Nonetheless, investors are extremely excited about making large numbers of people redundant via AI, so anything that might indicate progress in that direction is guaranteed funding.
Meanwhile rumours have been swirling that Tesla board members quitely started searching for a new CEO.
The company is of course denying it, but as the old adage goes "buy the rumour, sell the news", imo this is exactly what I'd expect to see if the board were going to attempt to take Musk our of the CEO position.
Keep protesting, it's working.
