Me neither but I think it might be because I hardly ever leave the For you feed

One of the most consequential issues of our time and am in agreement with an administration I have the deepest antipathy for… either am hopelessly inconsistent or fiercely independent.. probably a little of both… in any case the irony is palpable… and am not alone…

Outsourcing drudgery to go on to higher things is how we advance as a society: fire, agriculture, the steam engine, medicine, all emancipate us toward greater freedom. Surrendering your curiosity is then your choice

If I remain in the loop I get good results but I usually cannot do so with these new patterns like software factories and whatnot or rather I don’t know if I get good results or not because it emotionally detaches me from the result and I just don’t have it in me to go spelunking like that

Lovely! I want to share it more widely @down.blue

there are so many hidden gems in there… like portraying consciousness debates as simultaneously rigorous, absurd, and destabilising experiences: trapped in a Chinese room with a bag of shrooms!

Perhaps a naive question: but does this allow us to have our cake and eat it too? Is traffic through Nitter just not monetisable?

I can’t believe it’s not butter!

The rhetorical question is doing quite a lot of work; you’d think they’d take the trouble to tease it out

CarrotBaum 🥕 @ctbaum.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Do you have an idea as to why?

but are we mid-S-curve or are we past inflection? genuinely interested in what you think and what you’d look at to know the difference

when you think you begin to speak in the name of a mythical community -ontologically above and beyond the individuals that make it up- it becomes easier to justify shitty decisions: it is what u want & what the community wants so it gets doubly booked, at the very least

experiments with split-brain patients -corpus callosum severed due to epilepsy- thoroughly expose this researchers would command the right hemisphere to walk, and the left would come up with a post hoc rationalisation when asked why

independently of politics and even tech inside (seemingly cursed between js, shell, qml, python, etc..) the concept is pretty darn cool

So many ways to use AI to help you bond with your kids and you choose to outsource the bonding… this is psychopathic

I vaguely remember a social network by the authors of Why Greatness Cannot be Planned where they stripped it of follows and likes so you wouldn’t optimise toward those objectives. I don’t know what became of it
