Andy, did you have anything else that you wanted to say?
I have a couple more things I want to do.
All right, go for it.
Here's a lightweight one.
There's a social media app called Blue Sky.
And I probably have it on my phone.
I don't look at it, but Blue Sky I think is sort of an alternative to X. Yeah, many people have migrated over there.
Threads is also attempting to be an alternative to X, and that's the meta social media platform.
Blue Sky is independent of those things, and they have an active AI development team there.
And they've just released a new AI assistant called Attie, A-T-T-I-E.
And what you can do with Attie is build your own custom feed.
and do it conversationally and this is something that you know like why haven't the other ones done that i mean i you know whether it's tick tock or instagram or or threads or x uh you know somehow the for you algorithm is just following through on to whatever things you click on and so you're inadvertently training the algorithm and designing your own feed and that has
You know, for certain users that has, you know, it collapses the range of alternative points of view that you can ever see.
Well, I think it's high time that AI get involved or be made available to you in your social media feeds to let you be more articulate and purposeful about how you articulate that feed.
So what you can do is you can type in commands in natural language.
as if you were chatting to any other chat bot, and then you can basically let it know what you'd like to see and give it instructions, almost like customization via conversation with an assistant within the social media feed.
So I thought that was very interesting, and I endorse that.
I think that's the right way to go.
