afaic it’s the “for profit” that tanks these places and nothing else. it’s why I went more into mastodon than Bluesky.
I just couldn’t get into those platforms, what do you use them for?
I’m still amazed that people fell for that old ass artificial scarcity through invite links/codes trick when bluesky became the most popular shitter alternative. Made me question the sanity of some people i otherwise respect. Anyway, even if they made a less optimal decision they atleast left elons fucking nazi platform.
The people I know that use BlueSky just wanted Twitter without Musk. It wasn’t much more complicated than that and BlueSky has provided that.
Adding AI is very Musk-like so I’m not surprised there’s backlash.
b-b-but it’s the future!11!
You can’t complete the four stages of enshittification without the first stage: make a really, really good product.
Every single action the Bluesky team makes shows just how out of touch with and openly hostile to their user base the heads are.
I’m going to reserve judgement on this since letting the user control their own feed is a good one. If it shits out a bunch of ads, which I doubt is possible because AI is hard to control, then yeah, it sucks donkey balls.
Attie, which interim CEO Toni Schneider referred to as a “new product” that’s “not part of the Bluesky app” in an interview with TechCrunch, allows users to essentially vibe code their own custom feed using natural language prompts — or even build their own Bluesky app alternative on top of the service’s Atmosphere protocol, an ecosystem of interoperable social applications.
“You control it, you shape it, without having to write code or know how to set up these feeds,” Schneider enthused.
Yeah, I think people are wary of AI , which can be for good or bad, same way people can be pro AI, which can also be good or bad.
That being said, this sounds like it’s basically getting it to help you curate what you see from the system, and needs no technical knowledge. I’m uncertain if it involves processing tweets through an LLM , but if it’s open internet, it’s probably being shoved into some LLM anyway.
from my interpretation it’s not letting the user control anything except the prompt you give the AI, it then returns what it thinks you should build your list (and no doubt influenced by corporate interests)
You may be right and they’re using weasel language, but that’s not what they’re implying:
allows users to essentially vibe code their own custom feed

People getting pissed off about an app that is basically just a UI wrapper, and has absolutely nothing to do with the actual platform itself, is just emblematic of the state of the anti-AI witch hunters. Literally do not use it if you don’t like it, it’s really that simple.
Maybe you can take your own advice, and not spent time replying to comments you don’t like? I hear it’s really that simple.
Why do you need “vibe coding” for UI/UX customisation?
Why can’t you have a regular app that has customisation features (can even use LLM or ML tech)?
I am hardly anti-AI and I’ve vibe coded some small elements of my work projects (very simple modules with extremely clear input -output requirements in a domain I have a lot of business experience in), but this seems like AI for the sake of AI (or hype and PR associated with what is marketed as AI).
Speaking as someone who just vibe coded a client for lemmy, no matter how customizable you make your UI it will not be as customizable as having an LLM edit the code directly. The UI I wanted was completely different then the scroll based UI that most current lemmy clients have so the only way to make it was through vibe coding. You can check it out at stakswipe.com and you’ll see there was no way to customize a standard scroll based interface to have the same swiping behavior.
Also customizable UIs tend to be very menu heavy, so yeah you may be able to move the like button to the top right of the post, but to do so you’ll have to navigate through three layers of menus and settings to get there. Whereas with AI you can just type " move the like button to the top right". Customizing using natural language you know is a way better experience then figuring out a bunch of configuration and templating software that’s different for each app.
Literally do not use it if you don’t like it, it’s really that simple.
Tell that to the people living near new data centers who can’t get clean water and are being charged exorbitant rates for electricity.
So good, you had to tell use twice?
The app bugged out
@throws_lemy fuck em.
