       @aral @dansup In collaboration with the NYT, or at least some of their podcasters. My hopes for the sporkiverse are abysmal. I will be happy to be wrong.

       @aral @dansup Anyway, I listened to the podcast where they describe setting up the instance and I was appalled.Search Engine: The Fediverse Experiment https://traffic.megaphone.fm/CAD9930591890.mp3?updated=1767911887

       @bruce @aral @dansup the podcast is fairly standard for the mainstream '[some decentralized solution] is too complicated for the people to understand'. I would be appalled if I weren't so used to this neo-liberal, consumerist viewpoint.

       @dennmans @bruce @dansup Did you hear the bit where they get some OpenAI agent to set up the instance? Something tells me we’re about a week away from this blowing up in their faces.

       @dennmans @aral @dansup Yeah, that part is offensive, but expected. It was the glorification of AI that did it for me. They claim to have used Claude to set up the instance, including purchasing the domain name.

       @bruce @dennmans @dansup Was it Claude? I admit I was skimming. They were talking about some new OpenAI agent with GUI integration just before. Anyway, that they used AI to set up the instance is the key thing.

       @aral @dennmans @dansup Yes, it was Claude. It kind of jumped out at me and I very nearly stopped the podcast right there. I probably should have, because it didn't get better after that.
