Seeing all the #atprotonyc posts from a rainy Tallinn, I have nerd/music-sniped myself into something insane, which I hope will never come to fruition.

Fork Around and Find Out

@fafo.fm

New episode with @danabra.mov is out now. We discuss the atmosphere and how to keep it sustainable.

@justingarrison.com asks the question we've all been wondering "is it really billionaire proof?"

Here's a more fully articulated version of the argument I'd make: simply shaming people about their AI slop isn't an effective strategy for stopping Big AI. There needs to be a power-aware theory of change. www.anildash.com/2026/08/21/a...

Why shaming people about AI slop isn’t enough to stop Big AI - Anil Dash

@jyrkki.eu

I felt unusually frustrated and sad last night about the recent LLM discourse I’ve been seeing —from both “sides”. Microblogging makes conveying the nuance difficult, but Anil points in the right direction here imho.

Anil Dash @anildash.com

The dialogue around LLMs is kind of broken both in terms of critique and advocacy. For critique, we need to focus on how we attack fascist tech power consistently — LLMs are only one part of that; merely saying "AI bad" has simply ended up with a lot of people using AI quietly while feeling shame...

hello bluesky, this is going to be just as jarring of a change for me as it will be for you all…

my demands are simple: hire me and i can go back to being an ever-changing incorporeal sky avatar

Left side: glowing neon text reading "dame" against a gradient background transitioning from bright blue at top to purple at bottom. Right side: portrait of a smiling person with short dark hair and glasses, wearing a brown corduroy jacket over a coral-colored shirt with a pendant necklace, against a muted green background.

dame @dame.is

should i change my avatar to a photo of me during this season where i am networking and looking for my next job? is that gonna be more beneficial to my efforts and make me more approachable online?

I used to manage the team that ran the platform for Estonia's gov API integrations and I jokingly proposed having an outage day to make sure our critical services keep functioning in case of an outage 😅

honestly they need to take down the appview for at least 4 hours daily

Back when I worked for EE gov, I used to joke that our business model was incident-driven. When something failed horribly, that's what usually got funding and prioritization. I imagine we've learned a lot through this outage #hugops

@jason.energy

lots of talk about the mental toll of AI (probably thanks to @tolin.ski’s recent video) and a big factor seems to be constant context switching

please allow me to tap the sign:

The greatest trick we ever pulled on ourselves as knowledge workers was convincing ourselves we could juggle multiple projects with no consequences.

Please stop multitasking. I’m begging you. Please.

This is the most important video I've ever made.

In this, I explore the negative and positive mental health effects of AI coding, with data and expert commentary.

No business logic here. Just pleasure logic.

My government (Estonia) is talking about giving personal ID-codes (kinda like passport numbers, but with PKI) to LLM agents. This feels to me like them trying to stay ahead of the curve so much that they have fallen off and experienced severe brain damage.

I am not joking: this is AOL era software. It's got clip art. IDK how it even works on modern computers

I am trying to communicate atproto and "credible exit" in general to friends and family that aren't technologists. How could this be improved? And did I get anything wrong? I'm trying to get familiar with all the details.

A very non-technical post on why I am really into atproto.
