Whoa, lots of BeeBot love so thank you! If you're using the app, make sure to ADD KEYWORDS. Keywords are what make it go from "it works" -> "it's pretty good".

There’s a LOT in this blog post (and beta!) – “AI for the streets”, “social software vs. social media”, “apps you don’t have to use”, “tech with soul”. In hindsight, this post is as much a “product manifesto” as it is a “love letter about building the things you want to see in the world.”

Real question!
FWIW, I have this photo hanging in my apt. It is real (because it was taken before AI) but could imagine people would think it’s AI.

Just SOLD OUT of @stockadefc.com season tickets. Like, every physical ticket has been sold -- that's never happened in the ~10 years we've been doing this (I usually have like 200 tix left over at end of season. Home opener tonight in Kingston – come on out! lu.ma/stockadefc

Snippet from @djbeebot.com today... entered neighborhood, identified my interests, steered me towards street art & skate shop. It's getting better! (this is us continuing to pull at same ol' "software for the streets" thread, but now thru the lens of AI + context-aware computing)

6am — 7yo wakes me up because he desperately needs a USB dongle 🤷🏼♂️

Wait, SweetGreen got rid of their SweetPass program? Like today? (it used to save me like $3/salad for $10/month). What a bummer... $16 salad is too expensive these days!
