It’s early yet, but I feel pretty confident this is going to be the best thing I read today

The second news story was Deloitte charging the Australian government $290k for a report that was generated by an LLM, full of nonsense. These consulting firms aren't just *talking* about using AI in lieu of having smart people research and think hard—they're actually doing it.

The thing that was frustrating me to watch on Twitter is frustrating me again on Bluesky.
Folks pouring so much effort into a thing they seem to think is theirs and absolutely never will be. Doesn't matter how much noise or how many petitions or how many shitposts.
You can't own a social network by just occupying it and emanating presence and making noise. You are *ballast*, packing peanuts, slight impulses on a metrics dashboard. They'll do it without you

And this is a problem because the Bluesky moderators are *having a time*. This leads us to impetus #2 for Bluesky decentralization: A huge faction on Bluesky is leftist shitposters and trans folks who fled Twitter early under looming threat of censorship by Elon Musk. Bluesky *does not* seem to want this group in their userbase and repeated "odd" moderation decisions have reduced trust in Bluesky among this user community to zero. The death of Charlie Kirk has brought this to a breaking point.

I endorse this statement by @daedalus in the latest edition of The Crux. Maybe improve things for actual people instead of trying to innovate ways to rent seek off every fucking thing.
