Lazy humans have handed over power to an AI to turn off domains reported by another AI.

This is the counter point to my usual optimism that we will use AI as a tool for good.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Where's the debate about decentralising tech for games?

Live posting rather than dumping a pre-authored thread means I'll have to come back to this later! Is this bluesky vibes?
Everyone in the DID standards space KNEW that did:web was centralized, so why on earth was a centralized identifier permitted for something named "Decentralized Identifiers"?

The answer is easy. did:web is easy to implement, many DID methods were not.

did:web existed for test suites.

I found the Easter egg

(Go to the beginning of this thread if you are very interested in technical definitions of decentralisation. )
Now to be completely fair Bluesky is clear about this *in their blogpost announcing DMs*, but just like this thread, I doubt nearly anyone has read that far (am I talking to the void? I don't know, if you actually have gotten to this message quote post it with "I found the easter egg" or something)
