I'm not really concerned about it. The overlap between people who give a shit about AT and people who don't already use some kind of ActivityPub platform is microscopic. I'm happy to let Bluesky shoot itself in the foot by adopting the number one main thing people complain about Mastodon, namely the existence of multiple instances and having to choose from among them.
AIUI the AT protocol is in fact a bona fide open protocol with a Free (MIT/Apache-2.0) reference implementation available. If this is openwashing, I welcome this new style of openwashing where you actually publish open source software instead of just implying your proprietary software is not really proprietary.

Is this true for everything else, too? I will be a true AGI if I solve quantum gravity. A half eaten salami will be true AGI if it solves quantum gravity. My grandmother will be a true bicycle if she has wheels.
If we knew that we wouldn't need a GPT-8 to solve quantum gravity, would we now?
Sorry to ask to dissect the frog, but what's the story behind Altman and olive oil?
I'm the opposite, 100 IQ hair-brained.

I never got much of a sense that Charlie would be open to have his own mind changed
No way, really? Are you really doubting the professional nazi troll's desire to have his convictions challenged through good faith dialogue?
The lobsters thread linked in a sibling comment has more examples, but here's him eulogizing Charlie Kirk in a nazi bar https://nitter.net/awesomekling/status/1966456391146606806
Is there a general term for the type of experimental or vaporware tech whose main function is creating FUD and FOMO which slows down the adoption and development of more mature conventional solutions? In the case of public transit these are collectively known as gadgetbahns. Examples from other fields include SMRs, direct air carbon capture, various embrace-extend-extinguish schemes in the software world, extraterrestrial colonies and a host of consumer IoT gadgets.
