Fuck AI

I can kinda see the idea. Instead of putting the AI recommendation engine in the app, you have a separate app for it. Instead of relying on your behaviour, you decide what to prompt it to recommend.

But I think I'm probably being way too optimistic with this perspective description. If it is like I just described, though, I can see why some people would want to use it.

But it would likely still have to rely on collecting behavioural data to be any good, and it would cost humongous amounts of energy and resources... For very little benefit.

I knew it. Investors started pouring in, it was only a matter of time.

As long as it's open source and customizable, I don't see the problem with this.

It's not bad that we have algorithms to find content. I'm sorting the comments of this thread with an algorithm

The key is that I can choose which algorithm I want to sort by, that algorithm is open source, and I can write my own algorithm, if I want.

It's literally a twitter clone, what did you expect?

Just get off twitter, FFS. That entire website is a bane on humanity.

At some point they are going to have to make money.

I really wonder if Mastodon would have done better with a nicer, more techy name. Also, it’s silly but the double @ usernames look worse than the AT proto usernames.

if only this could have been foreseen!

had there been a better alternative!
