Long Lost N.P.C., PhD., BSc (Hons., Dist.), DDoS, QED, Ret. @npc.northsky.social · 20hBing caused similar trouble to this for a lot of high traffic sites when it came out by ignoring a lot of these things and not having the same finesse at it that Google did. It got “better” … after edge providers started pushing back on it and throttling its traffic. 040
Long Lost N.P.C., PhD., BSc (Hons., Dist.), DDoS, QED, Ret. @npc.northsky.social · 20hNo, google downloads everything. Google Cache was a huge public resource before Wayback Machine was popular. They just did it more slowly, and backed off further when a site showed signs of trouble. They also obey robots.txt and sitemap files that reduce issues. There’s a whole art to scraping. 160
Long Lost N.P.C., PhD., BSc (Hons., Dist.), DDoS, QED, Ret. @npc.northsky.social · 04/10/2026I’ve, very unfortunately, seen this. It was AI, but not an LLM. Human cognition modeling. It can get very knowledge hungry to solve probs. I’m kind of grateful the AI companies keep playing inside their little box and haven’t started connecting to other areas. Bit of a ticking time bomb though. 010
Long Lost N.P.C., PhD., BSc (Hons., Dist.), DDoS, QED, Ret. @npc.northsky.social · 04/10/2026He’s doing it so that he’s “The Face” and everyone gets angry at him and no one points to the bluesky board and VCs who are feeding him policy. Wizard of Oz style, “dont look behind the curtain” thats been remarkably effective bc… no one is looking behind the curtain. 191
Long Lost N.P.C., PhD., BSc (Hons., Dist.), DDoS, QED, Ret. @npc.northsky.social · 04/10/2026No, he’s not. all the money is right-wing leaning, with an effort to prop up shady journalists (NYT) and conflict to build audience and sway social commentary to the right through moderation. But the VCs are smart enough to do it and make it look left leaning with the echo-chamber nonsense, etc. 180
Long Lost N.P.C., PhD., BSc (Hons., Dist.), DDoS, QED, Ret. @npc.northsky.social · 04/10/2026I talk about it elsewhere, but his placement is VERY much intentional and tied to the VC funding bluesky runs off of, rather than the execs and leadership we get to see regularly. He’s doing exactly what he’s paid for. 1130

Long Lost N.P.C., PhD., BSc (Hons., Dist.), DDoS, QED, Ret. @npc.northsky.social · 04/10/2026yeeeep. and he seems to be laying the groundwork to make bluesky itself vulnerable under 230. If it can be shown that his views are being applied to editorializing content via moderation, bsky loses 230 protections. Not easy, but, he makes it easier every day… 1180

OTOH, I wouldn’t put it past him either just to use that as malicious deniability. Neither one of these is a good look for T&S. Time to play “Incompetent or Nazi?” once again! 042
