New Year New You, with Louise Tree
![Cartoon strip by Stephen Collins. It’s a ’New Year, New You’ thing, by a brown bashed up Christmas tree poking out of a recycling bin - she, the tree, is talking 'to camera':
1 [Title panel]:
NEW YEAR, NEW YOU
with LOUISE TREE
2 Hello there!
3 Well, Christmas is over at last.
4 And we’re all feeling a bit unhealthy, right?
5 Maybe you’ve neglected exercise to stay in by the fire.
Or eaten too many chocolates!
6 Or maybe you’ve being amputated from your food source, covered in baubles and ritually tortured for 21 days as part of an alien organism’s depraved festival.
7 Groo!
8 Well I’m going to tell you how to adopt a ‘growth mindset’.
9 Step one is - don’t dwell on the past!
10 Don’t think about the month you spent digesting your own body while you slowly died in the living room of gluttonous monsters.
11 Step two: make a ‘photosynthesis plan’!

I think firms worrying about AI hallucination should consider some questions:
1) How vital is 100% accuracy on a task?
2) How accurate is AI?
3) How accurate is the human who would do it?
4) How do you know 2 & 3?
5) How do you deal with the fact that humans are not 100%?
Not all tasks are the same.

So far, Bluesky has mostly avoided the traps of the attention economy, but can it to sustain that? Or is it doomed to suffer the same fate as Twitter once it reaches critical mass (now)?

Funny how looking at the current crop of decentralized social networks it feels like how twitter was supposed to be 17 years ago in the first place. A big fat protocol with a service built on top.
Seriously, feels like we totally jumped off the train the first time around.

Honest question: what happens now to the Mastodon/BlueSky dynamics? How long before we can natively bridge between the two protocols?
For context: according to FediDB, the entire Fediverse has close to 11M users (70% of which are attributed to Mastodon)
