I'm seeing people trickling into @intend.do via this room! I'm not on bsky much these days but don't hesitate to reach out if I can support the room (as creator/maintainer of intend).

eg a bot or something that autoposts to bsky when someone joins the room? idk!

unfortunately it's mostly both 😅

Sometime people ask me if I'm joking or serious, or kind of 50/50. I like to aim for simultaneously being mostly-joking and mostly-serious.

what we need is some AI system that just takes a recorded talk and converts it into a full draft of a paper, with notes on sections that need revising or missing citations

hmm okay no request and it also didn't preview anything

testing a fuller url... ah! it doesn't do frontend tag fetching now. that's an improvement since last year

also this is in some importance sense a definition of a "tweet". A twitter is an app that has/emphasizes tweets. By this take, bluesky is slightly more of a twitter atm than twitter.com is, because the latter allows super long posts, which don't compose like tweets do.
I seriously think it would be correct to call them tweets unless you legally can't (and I would question whether that lawsuit would even fly)

that's what they ARE.
a tweet is a type of thing
this app has them
twitter invented them, but I don't think tweets count as a branded product like "MacBook"

it's actually pretty legit

just make sure you go for the 9 holy ideas instead of the 9 dualistic confusions

absolutely. offensive overreach. I have a giant thread on twitter that I call "activism" which is just full of me correcting the spellcheck repeatedly and saying '"X" is a word' for each neologism or novel conjugatory experiment

wow yeah, hard to do curls!

Mmmm... leadership as like... "intentionality pressure" between people

I hope you're going to make sure that there's at least a type of utterance that is not editable, because that's really important for preserving the sense of playfulness as far as I can tell. it makes it way more improvisational & spontaneous to have it be just "out there now", un-perfect-able
