Great platform with ML as a core component.

There is no "AI" since its not intelligent. ML is useful and has been around for decades and can be quite useful in targeted contexts for pattern recognition/detection. LLMs apply those foundational ideas to language to make it appear smart, but it is still just pattern recognition in language.

If I wanted encrypted DMs with people I trust with topics that warrant encryption and privacy I'd give them my phone number or Signal handle. Social networks have no business needing DMs.

Leading Go code review nit: putting helper types or functions above the main exported identifier. It reads like Go needs forward-declaration. Because you can define in any order, let's order by importance.

When I open a file I want to see the main characters, not the background actors 🎬

Newer social networks should be focused on quality now. We've all seen what happens when quantity is the driving force. The same goes for every other business with the sole purpose of growth.

- Axios supply chain attack
- Claude Code leak
- Oracle cuts 30,000 jobs via personal email
- OpenAI raises $122,000,000,000

Entering burnout so it's time to shut it down for a bit.

the Atmosphere needs a LOT of care to be a functioning space for us all to have nice things.

there are many people here with experience in tradbiz, both sides of grant and philanthropic funding

there was even an expert in co-op structures at #atmosphereconf!

feedback/recs/observations
- share metrics, any numbers at all really (tune to audience)
- communicate your monies (raised/received, what your ask is)
- name your partners / any integrations/integrators / key users
- say your url / handle, so ppl can open/try/save immediately
- tell your personal story (but not too much, can't be the only thing)
- make clear/concrete asks
- it's generally ok to drop references, build cred
- communicate your qualifications/experience (distinct from cred)
- no acronyms
- MAU matters, it's #realtalk, communicate it
- if you don't already have/know, at least be able to communicate ideas for revenue to potential investors (they're investing to make money duh)
- demonstrate you know how your industry *really* works
- differentiator: why your thing is better/correct, and how validated that
- funding: the room was a mix of vc and never-vc and unsure
- the one sentence description was a near universal fail
- communication depends on audience, know when to remix/reshape
