In agreement with @eclecticcapital.bsky.social analysis here. Blacksky’s business model thus far has been patronage which is what gives me freedom in my leadership decisions (building things like Assembly, etc) “Coordination IS the moat” “[Technology] has not democratized economic value”

another good nugget from #ATmosphere conf delivered by @eclecticcapital.bsky.social: ATProtocol could offer "open enough to scale, closed enough to mean something" ‘the successful outcomes will look more like "guilds" and "collectives" than traditional startups’

Very excited to finally share my recent interview with @rude1.blacksky.team ! We explored open protocols as the foundation of community sovereignty, State surveillance & violence, Black anarchism in America, values embedded in technical architecture, capital's role in revolution & much more 💫

One of my favorite LLM use cases is literally just asking it what the closest preexisting concept to a thought is. "I have this idea, has anyone had this idea before and what's it called?" It used to be REALLY DIFFICULT to reliably answer questions like that and I feel like we'll forget it was.

doing my favorite thing of composing stuff together, and toying around with x402 and Privacy Pass to see how they can play together to introduce a sort of a blinding layer to x402 an intro to both, how they're used and a possible way to integrate them! kobi.leaflet.pub/3m3pyyctda22i

We’re hiring for two machine learning roles. A chance to do cutting edge things with ML to make this place a lot more personalized. jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i...

🧵 The AT Protocol (atproto), which underlies Bluesky, lets us to interface with the same data in as many ways as we can conceive of through AppViews that each provide a different "view" of the network. Can we make our local-first software as interoperable as the AT Protocol? 👇

🧵 I've been experimenting with combining local-first software and the AT Protocol (atproto) to play with the design space of apps that live at both ends of the privacy spectrum - maximally private AND maximally public, without some of the downsides of the modern web.  Why? 👇

hello world

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you. All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋
