1 ) Use generative AI tools to produce code, docs, presentations, emails, Slack messages
2) Use AI tools to summarize the overwhelming amount of content generated by AI tools
3) No one knows anything because everyone is feeding knowledge to and taking knowledge from AI tools
4) Profit???
Given the current trajectory, a job in the tech industry may eventually require the use of generative AI tools, no different than being forced to learn and use a computer, email, or coffee maker if it's determined to maximize profits.

Unfortunately, quality takes a back seat to profit.

“People are not meant to be in service to the protocol - the protocol is in service to the people”

I *love* seeing people understand why Blacksky is just fundamentally different from everything else.

Beautifully said.
This is important for the way it both does and does not use all of atproto -

People are not meant to be in service to the protocol - the protocol is in service to the people.

Translation and transformation - community boundaries - these things aré important

They’re also forgetting that decentralization has no value on its own. The purpose of decentralization is *against* oppressive structures. If a community agrees on an implementation that works for the community, that’s good for them!

The protocol is not more important than the people.

It’s alarming how often I’ve seen people on here viciously reacting to a headline without reading the article, the full context of which is nothing like the headline.

READ or hush.
I want ya’ll to read more. Read. Thoroughly. Then comprehend what you’ve read. Ponder it critically.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

I feel like a lot of automations folks are doing with agents can probably be done mostly by shell scripts in a more deterministic fashion. Maybe just use a LLM for some categorization, instead of to do the whole thing.

Amazon isn’t getting out of grocery. They’re going to re-brand them as Whole Foods markets because people like the Whole Foods brand better.
