Bluesky was down last night and I saw a couple posts questioning how this could happen if it was really decentralized. Worth a few thoughts here. If mastodon.social went down, what would the user sentiment be? It hosts 2.7 million users, or roughly 15% of the fediverse. (Not...

Catching up on last night’s NBA scores. I watched some of Knicks / Pistons, but staying up on east coast time for west games is tough. Thunder are a force, will be difficult to get by them. 🏀

If you’re following the last few photos I’ve posted, my daughter and I have been slowly making our way to New York. Surprisingly the first time I’ve ever driven through a few states: Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Road trips are usually out west. 🚙

OpenAI wants to buy Chrome. Perplexity wants to buy Chrome. Yahoo! wants to buy Chrome. Heck, Micro.blog would also love to buy Chrome (if we had a budget). If Google has to spin it out, could be an interesting shift for the open web.

I’ve come to the conclusion that my current mental state is fucked up in all sorts of ways for a variety of different reasons. The thing that sucks the most about mental health is that it’s usually not something like a broken leg where you immediately notice something is wro...

Another fantastic essay by Dario Amodei, this time about “interpretability” and the need to better understand AI:

People outside the field are often surprised and alarmed to learn that we do not understand how our own AI creations work. They are right to be concerned: this lack of understanding is essentially unprecedented in the history of technology.
