@simonbc Welcome! Thank you. Good luck with the new Jottit, I’ll check it out. Sounds great that you’ve been able to relaunch it.

@eurobubba Ha! No, it’s actually pretty clever because the human has to approve the bot’s account.
@bradleyandroos Yes, it is hilarious and amazing and frightening all at once.
@js I get that too. I’m warming up to it. Also, people give it personality by naming their agent.
@jatowler Oh, these are not intended to actually be read by anyone until many years from now, maybe after I’m gone. I like having an extra print backup too. So it’s okay if they aren’t perfectly written.
@drwalt The standard Micro.blog plan or higher. That level of customization just doesn’t work on Micro.one.
@drwalt Yep, and the next page link is automatic too. I want to share the details of how this works sometime for anyone else to use.
@staticmade.com I’ve thought about it but it’s too ambitious for me to pull off right now. We do have export from blog to Day One, though.
@drwalt The book online is actually a Micro.blog-hosted blog! Except without the blog. Each chapter is a page and there’s a custom theme for the table of contents. I wrote it in Ulysses so each chapter is Markdown and renders well in Micro.blog.
@_Jordan Thanks, looking into it… It’s not showing the card previews on Bluesky, right, but still adding the inline link to the post text? I did fix something loosely related to that a week ago. I’ll update it to restore the old behavior if that was it.
@stevex If OpenAI has strong competition (and I agree they do!) then why bail them out? To me, either AI can be a sustainable business or it can’t, and no single company is going to change that. I’d be more worried about “all our eggs in the Nvidia basket” problems.
@ryant Good point about Intel. The AI industry at least has a few major players, which maybe spreads the risk of a total collapse.
@jkratz In my post, “win” means “does not declare bankruptcy”. 🙂 There’s really no precedent for any of this. $0 to $20 billion run rate in a few years. I think we’ll know later this year if the crazy investments and debt were worth the risk or if it all falls apart.
@Miraz This highlights to me how no one interface is going to be right for everyone. Some people hesitate to use “mark all as read” often because they feel like they’re missing something.
@ryant Maybe. I’m having trouble imagining what a bailout would even look like at this scale. If OpenAI and Nvidia crash, there’s no obvious fix except to weather the storm, in my opinion.
@amit I’ve been going through this lately too. I’ve abandoned a few blog posts this week after realizing my contribution was turning to mush.
@sander Nice! I think that’s a great approach.
@bloftin2 Thanks!
@markstoneman Thank you!
@fgtech Good point, I hadn’t thought about it that way.
@tg Thanks! I think what you’ve written is really going to resonate with people and comes along at the perfect time. (I’ve also been working on an RSS reader, though mostly for the web… Looking forward to whatever you’re working on!)
@KyleEssary I get that too. There’s a difficult balance of not being too serious (people aren’t really tuning in for that) or too lighthearted (which disrespects what happened).
@drose I got the hardcover of that for Christmas and am about to start it too. I’ve heard great things about it.
@drose I just did a quick test and it’s working for me. Try again in a few minutes? The search relies on Google Books which every once in a while seems to block us.
@dejus Wow, Alaska! I’m curious about driving that far. Sounds amazing.
