    If not, I can't see how creators who monetize their content would be able to move in.

  • In a post where she signs the open letter, ActivityPub co-author Christine Lemmer-Webber summarises the changing world well:

    “This is actually a really important time for that message to come across, because our communities do both face major threats which I believe we are ideologically aligned in wanting to face:

    We are facing a large number of laws which appear well-intentioned and aimed to try to take on tech gatekeepers, but unintentionally build regulatory moats that allow only gatekeepers to participate, and which threaten user freedom at large.

    The rise of techno-fascism and omnisurveillance affects all users. Neither ATProto nor ActivityPub, at present, are built in such a way that they can provide the levels of protections necessary to respond to the needs of activists and community members against nation-state level threats.

    These are our existential threats, not each other. And we need to figure out how to work together.”

    I'm reading this as "be nice to the Bluesky guys, because we have a bigger problem to deal with."

    That's fine, I'm not inclined to be mentally ill at strangers on the internet.

    But I'm also not going to call it decentralized when it's meaningfully not, and I'm going to keep an eye on where their money comes from.

    We have a common enemy in government control.

    But if you're going to be my friend, I need you to not lie to my face.

  • Leeds told Ars that the RSL standard doesn't just benefit publishers, though. It also solves a problem for AI companies, which have complained in litigation over AI scraping that there is no effective way to license content across the web.

    "If they're using it, they pay for it, and if they're not using it, they don't pay for it.

    ...

    But AI companies know that they need a constant stream of fresh content to keep their tools relevant and to continually innovate, Leeds suggested. In that way, the RSL standard "supports what supports them," Leeds said, "and it creates the appropriate incentive system" to create sustainable royalty streams for creators and ensure that human creativity doesn't wane as AI evolves.

    This article tries to slip in the idea that creators will benefit from this arrangement. Just like with Spotify and Getty Images, it's the publisher that's getting paid.

    Then they decide how much they'll let trickle down to creators.

  • How willing are you and how willing do you believe millennials and gen-z are to relocate their life some number of hours away to participate in a funded solar punk initiative?

    I wouldn't be able to give you an honest answer to this unless I knew what we were building and what the compensation model looked like.

    So far it sounds very vague.

  • AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools

    Jump

  • "I pay for access to music I get access to music." And with ChatGPT, you pay for access to an LLM, and you get access to an LLM.

    Just because you personally don't value that as a service doesn't inherently invalidate it as a business model, now or in the future.

    Netflix lost subscribers in 2011 and 2022, that didn't kill the company. Uber stock tumbled during the pandemic and again in 2022. In 2023, Wired was writing about how "despite its popularity... [Spotify] has long struggled to turn consistent profits."

    This is a whole wave of companies where the survivors seem financially stable now, but had a long history of being propped up by venture capital and having an unclear path to profitability.

    The only thing you've successfully shown is different so far is that you don't think it's a real service.

    I generally agree, but I still don't see anything that differentiates its trajectory from the Spotifys, Ubers, and Netflixes of the world.

  • I don't understand the purpose of the letter.

    Bluesky is, in practice, not decentralized.

    It has the potential to decentralize, but if the community stops calling bullshit when Bluesky claims to already be decentralized, it would lose the one incentive it has to actually follow through.

  • What are you talking about? ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc. all have "subscription fees generating recurring revenue" and are famously "exploiting a gap in regulations to undercut an existing market."

    Uber took 15 years to become profitable, and Spotify took 18 years.

    Again, I'm not defending any of them (they all exploit the people who make their service work), but so far AI seems to be going down the same road.
