My email to my MP about the #onlinesafetybill. Tomorrow's new rules will achieve nothing positive and show a complete misunderstanding of technology by the government. The solution is easy and simple: go all in on parental control systems, rather than creating even more problems.

It's great to see cara.app doing well as a social platform taking a stance against AI. More and more these sorts of communities will be necessary as AI improves and generated content becomes even more widespread. #ai #cara

It will not be long before all online written content is assumed be AI generated and therefore not worth reading. Blogging is on already life support, especially with Google's AI summaries. Medium blogs might last a bit longer but if a stand isn't taken, AI slop will completely dominate everywhere.

Sad to hear about Cohost closing down recently, smaller social sites are becoming a rarity! The UK Online Safety Bill will make this even more common once the law fully activates in July.

🎉 1,000 People on the Waitlist! 🎉

We just hit 1,000 sign-ups for the Sonata waitlist and we’re honestly blown away.

That’s 1,000 people who believe social media can be more meaningful. More creative. More human.

There's a lot of valid concern currently about unemployment steadily rising due to AI. As taxes can be readily defined as economic disincentives, any existing taxes that disincentivise employment (such as the recent UK increase to employer national insurance) should be reviewed immediately.

Building a platform entirely with European based services is surprisingly challenging! Just decided on Bunny DNS, Hetzner, OVH and Netcup servers, Scaleaway backup, Com Laude Domains, Infobip for emails. #webdev

One of the clearest examples of AI destroying creativity. Just as bad are the comments from others (this looks like AI, AI can do better). This exact scenario is coming for nearly every creative format if we don't stand up against it. #art #creative

30 minutes after joining Bluesky I was followed by my first bot, a fake adult account that's trying to farm views. The problem is far worse on Twitter, but they are starting to come here as well. Maybe some default restrictions on who can follow new accounts needs to be implemented? #bluesky

You can’t replace artists with AI.
You can’t replace teachers with AI.
You can’t replace scientists with AI.

Important work comes from people. AI does not have the creativity, problem solving skills, and humanity necessary for the most important work we do as humans.

Hello Bluesky! I'll be using this account as my main place to talk about everything I'm working on including Sonata.social and Rentry. Interactions on anything are very welcome! #introduction
