Bluesky has launched an AI assistant called Attie that allows users to design their own social media algorithms and create custom feeds within the company’s AT Protocol ecosystem. 

Attie debuted this weekend at the ATmosphere conference, which Bluesky sponsors. 

But Bluesky’s userbase did not embrace the new product.

 Instead, about 125,000 users have already blocked Attie’s Bluesky account, 
making it the second most blocked account on the network, 
according to open source data. 

Attie only has 1,500 followers, 
meaning that about 83 times more users have blocked the account than followed it.

The only account with more blocks than Bluesky’s AI agent is Vice President J. D. Vance, 
with about 180,000 blocks 
— Attie even surpassed the White House account (122,000 blocks) 
and the ICE account (112,460 blocks). 

That’s some seriously detested company for a platform that skews left politically.

SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd

Chapter 6
Laissez Faire

“There are portraits of Doctors of Engineering spread all over the Harrison Research Institute, and I’m told there are more in the Wolfie Windy Water Research Institute in Ulverston.”

“Would you like to do a Diplôme?” asks Conning, “I’m sure you have the ability!”

“I have the option”, he says, “but it takes five years, it’s a lot of hard work, and I’d need a supervisor with a Diplôme and a shared interest in my thesis. My problem is that I have no idea which bit of engineering I’m really passionate about. I just want to invent things. But I would have to propose a thesis very soon to make the switch away from the regular apprentice track. My GuildMaster is a lovely old bloke, a true classic gentleman and I’d hesitate to leave him in favour of a new mentor.”

“When do you have to tell them?”

“I need a mentor, a working title and a draft research proposal before 31 August!”

“You can do all that HayWire! You can be Dr Clark, and everybody would respect you.”

“I’ve thought long and hard about it, but I don’t know!”	

“I’d support you all the way,” says Conning, 

A watercolour painting of an attractive young girl aged 17. She has gorgeous long medium ash brown hair and her eyes are dark chestnut brown. Her face has a picture perfect smile revealing lovely white teeth. She is wearing a powerful yellow crop top dance outfit over a curvaceous body. The image is labelled Conning (Manx, pronounced KonYing, meaning bunny).

A watercolour painting of an 19 year old young man - he has fly away golden blonde hair and blue eyes - in this relaxed pose he has a thoughtful and neutral expression - he is wearing a white T shirt - the image is labelled HayWire

SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances

Chapter 34
Sovereigns and Crowns

Erik strokes his beard, “you lot come back ‘ere tomorruh. We’ll ‘ave a fink about what we want, and you ‘ave a fink about what you can offer.”

CandiCrush looks to KristalClear for a signal. Throughout, KristalClear has detected lots of uneasy, positive vibes. Definitely uneasy, and certainly on the better side of indifferent. Raising her eyebrows almost imperceptibly, and mustering an extremely faint smile, it’s enough for CandiCrush to get the message.

She puts ten Sovereigns down on the table. MaxChaos stares. For him that’s more than a month’s wages. CandiCrush, with the sort of blink that says, “I’m surprising even myself right now,” offers a calm, polite smile.

Looking directly at Erik, she narrows her eyes a little, and narrows her mouth, and she says purposefully, “no obligation, this is yours, no strings attached, we’ll be back tomorrow.”

A ten Sovereign inducement should be more than enough to let them know that the Wolfies are serious, and it’ll ensure that the trappers also turn up tomorrow.

A watercolour painting of an attractive young girl aged 16. She has beautiful long straight deep brown hair and her eyes are chestnut coloured. Her face has a gentle expression with a hint of a smile. She is wearing a plain white T shirt (and blue jeans out of shot). The image is labelled KristalClear (she is demi-psychic but cannot read human minds, only animals)

A watercolour painting of a smart, attractive 33 year old female military officer with chestnut coloured eyes, and medium ash brown hair. Her hair is brushed back into a tight bun behind her head. There's a look of concentration on her face and she has a hint of a smile. She's wearing gold stud earrings, dark eye shadow, and pale pink lipstick. Over a dark olive T shirt Commander Crush is wearing MTPs (Multi Terrain Pattern, AKA camouflage). The image is labelled CandiCrush

SlenderWolf Conflicts and Alliances

Chapter 38
The Shorb

“The one that was destroyed in the Waterloo fire was the second one, the working prototype. The first one still exists somewhere, although it has no electrical fittings. But it is made of Sherringer Multiversal Glass. I wish we could find it. Or what remains of it!”

Stridently, HayWire proclaims, “we should find it! And study it! Solar power without silicon or boron or phosphorous! Glass is a liquid you know, you can apply fluid dynamics to it. Maybe we can recreate Sherringer Multiversal Glass by using other materials?”

“Nice idea HayWire, just one problem though. The sun doesn’t shine at night which is when most people want electricity. We don’t have any storage capacity, so we can’t hold electricity until it’s needed. We need batteries first. And that’s why Wolfie Windy Water never tried to develop solar power.”

“And anyway,” says NutJob, “then you’d have to call it Sunny Windy Water!”

A watercolour painting of a 60 year old man with receding grey hair and frameless glasses. He is wearing a white lab coat over a light blue shirt, and has a dark navy tie. He looks like the archetypal scientist. He has a serious look on his face and he likes to point out “My name’s Emmett. But everybody calls me Barmy! Barmy as in proper noun, not as in adjective! Though some might disagree!” - The image is labelled BarmyWaffle.
