nah man just use graze.social or blueskyfeedcreator.com or skyfeed.app

Where do you see the generative part in this? It is an index on steroids.

what? it's literally a conversational UI that uses LLMs to generate a feed, they're calling it Agentic too an index on steroids is skyfeed.app

So what? It find and sorts posts per the user's desire. It doesn't generate content. For ages we have chronological and alphabetical indices. This one is more versatile. Now an ordinary user does not have to wait till a dev makes a feed they want. I think it's great.

at least in the software development field it feels like a lost battle, every engineer is just treating it as the Next Thing while not considering all other factors around it like... how it's a fascist technology built by fascists for their fascist needs do people just not think anymore?

classmates, my teachers, pros giving presentations, and now (after recently finishing school), my colleagues Close to everyone in the field, it seems. Meanwhile I.. like learning and doing new stuff ? Probably the whole reason I got into computers ? Why would I let go of that ?

depressing update : it was someone's birthday at work Some guy copy-pasted a message from an LLM to wish a happy birthday, but forgot to remove the part were the LLM praised him for his prompt and they're sending AI-generated memes/songs too yeah

gonna have to take a page from @theonion.com here

final addition to this thread: again, generative AI is a fascist technology made by fascists for their fascist needs they only want to enslave you mentally (by making you dependant) and financially (so you'll always give money to them), there's no "but it's a good thing!" side to it, unfortunately

I appreciate you a lot for your anti-genAI stance, and it's why I feel good about recommending deck blue to everybody, besides the fact that it's just a great interface!

I find it really funny that bsky seems to have forgotten how 99% of its users came in here to escape the AI crap of twt, and now they... release AI slop... Bruh

i hope it is a lost battle and that the stupid robots substitute the stupid people who made the stupid robots in the first place, none of you deserve a world that works

They don't. It's new, and shiny, and can look good in very limited ways when it can copy common code. My job keeps trying to force me to use it despite the fact that I have some of the highest ticket throughput without ever touching an LLM.

you're so real and based

I keep not using it and being the best developer at my company.

From their release I didn’t get the sense they are “pushing” for it so much as trying to find a way to satisfy people that DO want it more ethically and sustainably. I didn’t get the sense that it is going to be a part of the main experience at all

I remember when they debuted tags, and thee first was a boba/kiki label that when subscribed to gave you a 50/50 chance of either tags. Dev said they used AI which is just sad considering making rng code is like, the first lesson in any code class. :/

It was never a 50/50 RNG, what are you talking about?

Are you telling me that the chances of one of two options being chosen aren't 50% - I'm confused, genuinely. Other than that, I don't know what you're asking me, that isn't detailed in the above post?
