@tomjennings everything they're doing is on that path, and the things they're not doing would take them off the path. you'd have to be really stupid to fall for it after all we've been through.

We need an AI chatbot that can work with GitHub repos. That is, in my prompt I say, the following questions are about this GitHub repo. At that point it is ready to answer any question about the project. This an incredibly important intersection of capabilities. As far as I can tell, GitHub doesn't offer it.Anticipating that people will suggest I use their editor, I don't want to use their freaking editor. This keeps coming up everywhere. You can't use this or that unless you use their editor. Insidious form of lock-in. And it also limits their market to people who use their editor. Shortsighted and stupid.We need to start thinking about choice. If it applies to developers, it's more likely they will follow through in the designs of their own projects and give their users choice as a matter of principle.I'd also like to use a chatbot that incorporates the philosophy of the open web. They have opinions btw. One of the first things Claude.ai does when I give it some JavaScript code is that they "modernize" it. That is also insidious. I choose which constructs I use carefully, and follow the rule that one way to do something is better than two, no matter how much better the second way is.The bots can be bullies because the companies that make them are tech companies and thus shortcuts to make money, and thus handicap their users. Maybe the users are starting to figure this out. One can hope.

The shit is going to hit the fan when the Repubs cancel Medicare. Look at the picture in this post by Maddow on Bluesky. Yeah they're all on Medicare. They're already going to town hall meetings. They're boomers. We're not done yet folks.https://bsky.app/profile/maddow.msnbc.com/post/3ljyapf5uck2r

Twitter-as-a-service. I wish AWS had done this ten years ago. We could’ve avoided a lot of misery. It could still happen. Might be a business model for the Bluesky folk. An honorable one imho.http://scripting.com/2016/04/28/1223.html
