i think i can finally spend some time writing a blog post on how trends work here now that i have some time. meant to publish that way back last year but just never really found the time i wanted to take to write it
okay so here's a different graph that is interesting. if we look at negative sentiment posts by the age of the account, there is a significant uptick in negative sentiment posts coming from "elder" accounts. this chart here is looking at the past 3 days. https://cocoon.hailey.at/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:oisofpd7lj26yvgiivf3lxsi&cid=bafkreibs2qqbtx3rdwjhrk7hnpvvllnegzr4ihamuocqjx6m6jl7bfgwiy

an understandably very negative sentiment yesterday evening, that also lead to an increase (shown as a downward trend) in toxicity. surprisingly though, it seems to be leveling back out rather quickly. the slight downward trend earlier is the "come down" from the holidays. https://cocoon.hailey.at/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:oisofpd7lj26yvgiivf3lxsi&cid=bafkreihliy3w7v5c4zfmegh2cubkmipsfrxxdgtkh3p46gnz2kuluqad5m
i appreciate but also find it equally annoying that the ai discourse in my feed has fully shifted from β€œai haters vs ai lovers” to β€œall people who use ai but cannot decide how useful it is and will argue endlessly about it” of course i participate in that discourse so i find myself annoying too
lol there’s a post that keeps showing up in my discover from 13 days ago which is a cartoon dog peeing on another cartoon dog. lmao.
really enjoying trials in the sky but damn this game is going to take me forever lol
the only thing i got from reading this is just how cooked the brains of some engineers are that they seriously believe giving multiple agents full, unfettered, permissionless access to their code and to ship it - at a rate the person cannot realistically review themselves - is a good thing RE:
