The challenge with Attie for the builder community isn't the use of AI. It's the question of whether Bluesky begins absorbing/cannibalizing existing ecosystems within the Atmosphere.
Getting lots of meatspace questions about how do I square what Bluesky said at #atmosphereconf with Attie, and what that choice signals for the ecosystem.
Basic rule: nevermind what people say, watch what they do.
Putting my time where my #atmosphereconf ecosystem mouth is: if any early-stage ATProto team needs help honing their ops or strategy, ping me.
If we are aligned, we can find a way to make it work.
atprOtO is a giant pile of economics problems people keep misconstruing as engineering or product problems. Raise money and hire a COO, or better yet, hire a fractional COO now and pay them in whatever combination of equity and cash you can manage so they can help you raise them a FTE salary.
