Just Bob @bobhelland.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Why do so many Bluesky users disable public comments? Why are we afraid of interaction and conversation? A social contract? Prefer 1-way streets? Absent true engagement, Bluesky will become a land of rhetorical billboards and emotional dogpiles like many other apps. What's it's true role? 000

Just Bob @bobhelland.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Well I live here, but yes! I figured if code riddles helped Google locate the most talented, most energetic applicants for challenging work, i should give it a try.

Just Bob @bobhelland.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Cool, what's your direct exposure to AI, outcomes etc if I may ask? Impacted or know people, or just observance? In the industry and profession I work, I'd say it's fairly pronounced but not exceedingly positive. 100

Just Bob @bobhelland.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Nevermind the fact these are essentially all the same leveraged dollar swapped on balance sheets as both AR and AP. Like paying yourself with a credit card to earn points, tokens! Lol. And each new payment is forecast into future earnings. In the end, you might get some extra tokens. (Or investors!) 010
Just Bob @bobhelland.bsky.social · 20/05/2026LLMs and OpenAI have grown-up with externalized costs (see: Musk trial), specifically to speculative investors who anticipate a payout at some future date. Wicked confluence of 1) consumer price and product rejection, 2) waning investor confidence 3) crumbling economy and inflation = WINDOW CLOSING! 130
Just Bob @bobhelland.bsky.social · 20/05/2026The battle is bigger than the 'supply' ie data center construction and output. I think we reached a market phenomenon where anti-demand (consumers against) intersects anti-supply (the imaginary data center, chip capacity to build) in economic nether-regions. Never a more out of equilibrium market! 160

Just Bob @bobhelland.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Roger that 10-4. Just found it odd so many news outlets were using $1.7B as opposed to $1.8B. That $100M difference can buy a lot of corruption itself - like an entire year of US House salaries! Here's a CNBC example: 110
Just Bob @bobhelland.bsky.social · 18/05/2026I just want to clarify for the sake of math all of the following round to $1.8B: $1.77B $1.78B $1.776B $1,776M $1,776,000K $1,776,000,000 For news outlets using some standard that makes this $1.7B: note that in that margin of error, $100M could pay the entire annual salary of the US House of Reps. 231
