Some data from this unintentional experiment in ATproto * We created the >50K blocklist because it's a crude but effective filter for politics, art, porn, and other AttnStealrz. Try the AttnRoulette! Open a random account from the list. It's probably an AttnStealr.

Yesterday at the "Discourse for Design and AI" conference, someone unironically extended 2021-Bender's framework to 2026, and warned us of a "pandemonium" of "stochastic flock". We would make a joke about 1959-Selfridge, but that would've been too obscure.

The new blockpost is great bsky.app/profile/yuxi...

what if a blocklist that is literally just anyone with >50k followers

Is there a blocklist to just remove all digital art and green-nature photography from the feed? Mute words clearly doesn't work because they are literally just wordless posts with embedded images.

investigating crypto after a long absence from crypto Surprise: most of the mainstream cryptos have settled into a range of txn fees of 0.1 -- 0.01 USD. Is this a kind of "golden mean" for txn fees?

from the NVIDIA GTC 2026, Vera Rubin datacenter will have a marginal token cost of 1.4 J/Tok = 1.4 MJ/Mtok = 1 kWh / 2.5 Mtok At prevailing prices, that's 10 Mtok/USD

another one bites the dust...

unintentionally becoming a motivational speaker this is an unpleasant development

Currently trying to read bluesky entirely through pdsls.dev Noticed another weird thing: Reposts refer to both cid and uri. For example, Post 1: pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... is a repost of Post 2: pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... So naturally, the json of Post 1 refers to the URI of Post 2... but it also

Studying the AT Protocol. Something dubious about its security model: The key-rotation of DID Document is broken. There are multiple levels of rotation keys. A priority 1 key can be used to sign messages saying "Ignore message 312 signed by priority-2 key, 47 hours ago.", but...

The AGE of AGI: Artificial General Environments

it seems the word "willpower" attracts a very specific breed of bots that we call "self-help sloppers" idea for some kind of bluesky interface: visualizing bots and their keywords like pheromones (the keywords) attracting moths (the bots).

never let a typo go to waste

"or shrine"

Suddenly realized what the Claudestyle "no X, no Y, no Z" is. It's a serialized FOMO table.

We are as gods. Auch Götter sind tot. Auch a minor inconvenience at most.

it's fomo time we need to get on 20+ blocklists before Sunday

mildly disappointing

this is amusing for some reason using sponsorship as advertisement

somewhere in a Discord convo "get on our level scrub, we see MMAcevedo as a career move"

ok we are trying to enjoy BlueSky but the "For You" is trying to shove in even more politics than Twitter

denouement

Nothing natural makes it out of the near-future.
