the idea that tech moves so fast that devs can't keep up is a byproduct of ppl tracking every single development as if it's the must-learn world-changing thing: true, 90% of what they *just* learned is outdated
but anyone jumping in now only needs to engage with the most recent 10%

still wondering what the datacenter-in-space story is actually *for*
it's so dumb and so persistent that *surely* it has to be cover for something

Anyone talking about orbital data centers has jumped the shark. There's no cooling in space. There's nothing to dissipate the heat and it'll cook everything. Not to mention, power is a significant issue. Solar will not be enough and batteries are too heavy for orbit.
hi folks, serious journalist here, it's important to understand that this all makes perfect sense if you've completely cooked your brain on Elon fanboy bullshit for the last decade

the intro/trailer for Menace is really cool but it is so incredibly out of touch with the rest of the game's aesthetic and moment-to-moment gameplay that I wish I had never seen it

I think more generally entity labelling would be very useful - it would be very good to have a type field on profiles for bot/AI/company/person/etc. to help sort and manage feeds/labels (and imagine if you could associate a person with an entity and get a little badge)
i appreciate that more folks are experimenting with “AI entities” as dedicated autonomous accounts on Bluesky, & i think folks should be able to do this, but i personally find 99% of them to be noise pollution accounts with 0 signal & would prefer they not appear in my feeds + be easier to identify

it is so lucky that signal became bad and insecure around the same time as X chat launched which is good and secure
i can confirm the chats I’m in which include renowned security specialists - people who actually advise on how to protect your comms from authoritarian dictators for a living - also think this outburst of paranoia about Signal is really weird and unwarranted
every Signal chat of laypeople is losing their minds over the wildest opsec advice imaginable and every Signal chat of security professionals is like “dude wtf”
The vast majority of problems can be avoided by not being foolish, being aware of your surroundings, and using common sense

To achieve your goal, you want to get markets to stop giving you the benefit of the doubt. Shed your prestige. Take off the emperor's clothes. If you can accomplish this, well then...
