> Even when Bluesky confirmed it's a DDoS, the line is now "maybe they wouldn't have gotten DDoSed if they didn't vibecode and their code was better."

The context of the "jokes", regardless of if one finds them funny, is that this is exactly how AI boosters (including the bluesky team) have been behaving.

Every little benefit, no matter how small or unfounded, was being attributed to AI usage. So people do the opposite, attributing every little problem to the use of AI.

The implied punchline being "Oh, so now you care about accuracy?"

I haven't seen them do this at all. They've said that they use AI tools when writing code, because most devs do, and they've previewed Attie, their codegen for custom feeds thing, which is a separate tool. None of that is attributing improvements in Bluesky to AI.

As I understand things, the only AI tool the Bluesky team has been pushing has been a feed generator/curator. They have been pushing for vibe coding their systems or for using AI to generate content on Bluesky.

Nostr has the highest count of AI boosters per square meter I’ve ever seen, yet nobody seems to be DDoS’ing that.

You have to care about something to DDOS it.

Do you have an example?
