iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This in combination with “don’t chase money, follow your dreams!” is advice not compatible with most working class people. It feels out of touch on a deep level.

Money can absolutely buy happiness up to a certain point. A point which is out of reach for the majority of people.

Who says anyone should want anything? I’m just saying it’s not a big deal - if you’re against it, just move the community elsewhere and take the software in a different direction. You can keep using the software you know and love without feeling conflicted about its origin.

Yeah, but those contributors don’t just disintegrate - they’ll just contribute to whichever fork is most popular. Worst it does is fragment the community. Also, if you really want to be sure you fork from before AI was used, fork a commit from before November 2022

I guess whenever the agents.md file was added? That kind of illustrates the point though - there seemingly wasn’t enough of an impact for people to notice, until that file got added.

Just fork the source code..? I don’t get the point of social media outrage over this

This sucks. Hope he rests peacefully, where that may be. Thank you for giving a voice to some of the most influential videogames of all time.

Totally unrelated, but I envy that shirt

Still, the damage this will have done to the industry (mass exodus of junior developers) will be massive. Maybe we can all get boring day jobs and make programming a hobby again.

How anyone gets dopamine from vibe coding is beyond me. Sucks all the fun out of it.

It’s not organising a tree, it’s fitting puzzle pieces

I will never forgive Google for sunsetting (killing) Google+. So many fond memories. So much potential.

I'm unconditionally in love with Metro Exodus. I can't believe I haven't gotten to this game sooner. I've been missing out!

Angular has actually gotten really good in recent years - it’s opinionated and well suited for web apps, but it’s not a Swiss Army knife like React (because it’s not just a rendering library)

As to the energy and water consumption: companies are starting to push for ARM-based AI chips and better memory compression algorithms, which is good for innovation. It won't ever be "great", but it'll get better (and cheaper). User endangerment is a whole other can of worms, very under-discussed.

Tomáš Schmied @isc.hm · 03/04/2026

Yeah, I'm hoping they drop the chat interface and focus more on the data-crunching aspect of it, could be a really cool thing. Decentralized algorithms are a very cool concept. We'll see what they do with it, just don't add "chat with out assistant" popups anywhere and I'm good.

Tomáš Schmied @isc.hm · 03/04/2026

I'm not too into AI myself, but since I'm not really missing anything from bsky at this point, I'm fine if they work on other things - worst case scenario I just won't use it, so - meh. Btw, there's an open GitHub issue regarding post edits, so it's very much on the roadmap, just expensive.

Tomáš Schmied @isc.hm · 02/04/2026

Editing posts in place could potentially break their backend architecture, since I'm pretty sure they make heavy use of the fact that posts are immutable. You can make a custom AT protocol client that uses backlinks for "post editing". The beauty of open source is that it's your choice.

Tomáš Schmied @isc.hm · 02/04/2026

Adding an "edit feature" is pretty complicated. You have to realize they're maintaining an entire messaging protocol, which would have to add support for editing posts. This, I imagine, would have to be implemented by using backlinks and basically creating a new post and hide the original one.

Tomáš Schmied @isc.hm · 02/04/2026

Well, they're clearly in a position where the product is able to be driven by the developers. People don't need their handles to be URLs, they don't need their posts to be part of a larger ecosystem outside the Bluesky app. But both are really cool things that are driven by experiments.

This guy really thinks LLMs are vibe coded, lmao

100

Oh, right, I forgot OP was the announcement. But yeah, same here. I guess they just blocked everybody? Some PR strategy that.

100

Same. Wasn't the original post anti-AI though?

There's really no other option in a democratic system

How much progress have we made on climate change?

Actually, we've made a crap ton of progress on climate change, don't lose hope yet! Great video about this: youtu.be/h1jOqyjcO4g?...

Well, the situation is very different now and given that the election competition will be fierce, focusing on issues like AI impacting the environment and markets will be a big focus IMO. Unless he just goes full dictator, but that's a different conversation.

100

The bubble has to burst and the "AI market" has to be rebuilt anew, with cheaper, more efficient components to make it at least sustainable. This is already driving innovation in the tech space. At that point, the supply/demand system kicks in and only actually helpful AI survives.

000

Give it time, the bubble will pop. There’s no ROI. In the meantime, all we can do is hope the US comes to its senses (read: impeaches Trump)

100

It’s already happening. RAM prices are about to start nosediving.

100

This is your daily reminder that the US government is, in fact, not the only government. EU will do it first, others will follow once the political climate calms down.

200

Resources are finite. Ethical AI just boils down regulations (mandating higher power efficiency and limiting resource usage). It’s not that hard. The VC hype just has to die for this to be realistically competitive.

100

Is this how clickbait works? AI needs to be regulated at the hardware level in terms of its effects on the environment, water is also wet. RAM and GPU shortages are temporary, just buy once the bubble pops. They’ll be scrambling to get rid of that shit for pennies.
