Wish I knew more about the reason for this post from Eugen Rochko, although we can guess:
I will be opting my account out of the #Bluesky bridge next week. If you follow me from Bluesky (I think there are about 3.9K of you) and want to continue seeing my posts you will need to get an account on the fediverse. Cheers.
Last year there were periods of time when I stopped sending my blog posts to the fediverse. So that’s similar, right? Maybe. Bridgy Fed is an unusual case because of how dramatic the opt-in / opt-out story unfolded.

Watched: All You Need Is Kill. We love Edge of Tomorrow so had to see this. It would be fun if there were more adaptations or spinoffs. 🍿

Went to see Marty Supreme. Wild, much different and better than I was expecting. Loved it. 🍿

Fascinating drama in Elon Musk’s court filing against OpenAI. OpenAI’s web response is well done, with color highlighting of passages from Greg Brockman’s journal.
Always good to take notes. I wouldn’t be able to remember these kind of details from 8 years ago without writing them down.

Rewrote some WebSocket code this week and it seems to have made a dramatic improvement not just for Nostr (which uses it) but general stability with hung Sidekiq processes. Reviewing Nostr, I still find it an elegant protocol. Just not sure how it fits in the modern social web.

Ads are coming to ChatGPT. OpenAI is attempting to head off some of the inherent misalignment with ads and users by outlining some ad principles:
Ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you. […] We keep your conversations with ChatGPT private from advertisers, and we never sell your data to advertisers. […] We do not optimize for time spent in ChatGPT.
The problem is once you’re making money with ads, it’s hard not to optimize for more ads. I just hope ads will remain a small part of their business compared to Plus and Pro subscriptions.
