I do kind of think this post is a bit like saying "No, everyone is not using the internet for everything." in the early days of the internet, but I love @yegg13.bsky.social 's attempt here at keeping things grounded, however futile it may be 😉
Eisenhower and I start status updates the same way.
It's Bluesky's and Atmosphere's biggest opportunity yet.
The proprietary social apps are rapidly degrading in quality because they can't say "no" to the fake "growth" that AI agents create on their networks.
Bluesky can take the opposite approach by providing a way for users to flee the hellscape.

Unlike self-hosting cloud services, it is far more expensive to self-host coding models.
The reason is that model companies are selling $200/mo subscriptions that let you burn through $4,000+/mo in tokens.
But longer term, models/agents will be open and commoditized, just like compilers have been.
Protect the critical section!

Yes!
One of the most interesting ideas discussed when the network architecture was being designed was giving the PDS a plugin architecture.
Ultimately, the PDS became a "dumb" data store and proxy, which simplified things greatly. But there's still a really interesting opportunity waiting here.

A Communities tab for Bluesky is probably necessary-but-insufficient integration.
First class support probably means fans of Taylor Swift would find it just as easy to discover and follow a 1M+ user Swifties community @swiftiescommunity.bsky.social as Taylor Swift's account @taylorswift.bsky.social
