Sigh. It wasn’t a nonevent BUT we took it seriously. It was a nonevent BECAUSE we took it seriously. Same dangerous attitude I’ve seen about ozone layer deterioration: if a major campaign of concerted action averted the problem, it must have been a fake problem. Not the correct lesson to draw!
Yes, the Y2K software problem turned out to be a nonevent. But 25 years ago, The New York Times took it seriously, publishing over 100 stories.

Our tech reporter who wrote a front-page article on Jan. 1, 2000, reflects on the crisis that never was.

When I asked Bluesky users why they left X, many said they didn’t want their posts training AI.

But with Bluesky’s open API, anyone can scrape posts for that purpose. A HuggingFace employee just shared a dataset of 1M posts.

The reality: if you post online, assume it’ll be used to train AI.

A Hugging Face employee made a huge dataset of Bluesky posts, and it’s already very popular.

By popular request, here's how to add Bluesky replies as your blog's comment section!

This requires some technical know-how for now, but I'm hoping that we see some no-code solutions for this pop up soon, like Ghost or Wordpress plugins.

Changed my handle to my domain: schrierc.dev. I appreciate that I can use my domain as my identity and it was easy to verify (DNS TXT record).
