"Solutions that don't knowingly create new problems." Love this framing on how we should approach technology, or problem-solving in general.

"AI naysayers have legitimate reasons to boycott the technology" Interesting phrasing.

BotKit is a TypeScript framework I've been building for creating ActivityPub bots that run as their own independent servers—no platform account needed, no Mastodon or Misskey instance to log into. You write a bot, give it a username, and it federates directly with the rest of the fediverse. It's […]

Incredible. Confirming the results of a study from earlier this month: "Only 26% of voters view AI positively, making it even less popular than ICE, according to an NBC News poll of 1,000 voters." https://www.axios.com/2026/03/16/ai-sam-altman-fear-mongering #bluesky #atproto #attieai

Instead of defending the use of LLMs for polishing up your writing, we could be advocating for unpolished writing. Blog posts with spelling errors and awkwardly repeated words. Emails that sound a bit less warm and professional because you forgot the preamble of "Apologies for the late reply […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fesshole/116153883462428890 As that NYT article about employers requiring AI usage at work is making the rounds, I just want to bring attention back to this banger.

Hm. "OpenAI is planning to discontinue the app for its Sora video platform, a product it released to great fanfare last year that has since fallen from public view, according to the company." https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-set-to-discontinue-sora-video-platform-app-a82a9e4e #news […]

The #fediverse.

RE: https://masto.deoan.org/@neurovagrant/116284084317566458 And from "we need everyone working in the same office" to "we don't need humans at all"! AI is really setting new standards.

Hey guys, you read my troubles with developing an ActivityPub / Mastodon multibot instance yesterday? Well, I got it working in the end and have already migrate four bots and added another two to it. And here is the code that I open source now: https://github.com/nekromoff/mastodon-bots […]

"As part of this, we are reducing unnecessary Copilot entry points, starting with apps like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets and Notepad." Nice to see that all that pushback has worked! https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2026/03/20/our-commitment-to-windows-quality/ #news #technews […]

I feel like I want to put at the bottom of my email signature: > _Remember that Paco sometimes makes mistakes. Be sure to double check the information he provides you._ That way, if I send something completely erroneous and harmful, it's no big deal.

What is Webb observing? https://spacetelescopelive.org/webb?obsId=01KKAYRHH5YPGGPH1EB2SR6DXD #webb #space #astronomy #telescope

But I guess that's the answer to everything, no? People who feel that they need AI because they can't write well, or make art, or write code, etc. We could just be helping each other, working on community projects, together.
