I'm unable to find any confirmation of that supposed $120M investment in Bluesky. There was a story in Business Insider in January 2025 saying they were seeking investment on a $700M valuation. Does anyone have a link to solid evidence?

@timbray don't know of anything coming of that Jan 2025 story, no
crunchbase has 2022 and two 2024 rounds
tracxn only has the 2022 round

i checked on it in january, and yes they did close that round. the investor is blockchain capital, i couldn't find any info on who the limited partners are.

and i just asked chatgpt for a list of investors, and they say they have raised a bunch more since then.

@davew Not sure. There was an initial infusion from Twitter-that-was, then a $15M round from "Blockchain Capital". The post I was quoting was talking about $120M on $700M valuation, I still don't see anything public about that. I think your take in Scripting is spot on - we just don't know.

@timbray -- another one, they claim to be billionaire-proof but don't offer anything to back that up. i don't think they are. they fully control their users. no different from any other silo. twitter had an api too.

I have no idea what this is.
I think ad recommenders must periodically suffer from some kind of model collapse. I'm being stalked by ads for things like operating theatre gear, hyperbaric chambers and devices like the attached.
I'm not gonna complain too much. It's much more interesting than it used to be and hope it doesn't revert to video poker too soon.

One of the best albums of the 2000s.
It’s Blitz by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
This is downright expensive on vinyl. But I picked up the CD for $3 because people are literally giving them away.

I dunno. The AI has made me much much more productive as my work involves me learning lots of new technical concepts and software all the time. It reduces a lot of barriers to understanding. I find it hugely helpful, but I do despise AI written content.
