Ha! That's on me for not reading until the end, thanks for that.

That's a good quote, I know she didn't mean it this way, but it made me think of LLM chatbots. They have no substance beyond their power to convince. They're basically pure marketing machines.

For someone ALLEGEDLY not being paid by the for profit company bluesky, you sure are doing a lot of whataabouting and deflecting for them!

It's "open" in the same way that cryptocurrencies are "open". It doesn't matter how technically decentralized the power structure is when someone owns more than 99% of the tokens.

BlueSky is a for profit company was started by Jack Dorsey, a cryptocurrency booster. The the CEO of BlueSky has a background in crypto.

Cryptocurrency also claims to be "technically decentralized" while missing the point of while actual, real, decentralization is important for social media. When someone owns 99% of a token, the power is concentrated there.

Bluesky is centralized and for profit. The company is lying to you. There is no need to "work together" with someone who is lying to you.

Well said! On one hand I suppose I am "happy" to see people questioning the value of these bots, but assuming it "understands" anything, or has "motive" is still giving them power they don't have and IMO, leaving the door open to allow yourself to be fooled/manipulated by them in the future.

It seems so obvious to me that Google's switch to LLMs is to prevent adblockers and yet I rarely see that point brought up.

LLMs cannot lie/gaslight because they do not know what it means to be honest. They are just next-word predictors.

I think the ads are terrible too, but it's a fool's errand to try and rationalize with an LLM chatbot
