End-users value simple things like engagement and good UX, but the real value of @bsky.app lies in the AT Protocol and its decentralization promise. If these concepts were explained in simpler terms, I think the platform could gain massive popularity.

“Do you have experience working with AI?” is such a pointless question to ask from designers.
I’ve seen it too often.

The state of AI by the end of 2024:
- Identifying diseases from CT, X-ray, MRI scans
- Autonomous vehicles
- AI trading & fraud detection
- Music, art, and video creation, incl deepfakes
- Synthetic biology
- Decoding neural signals to words
Still cannot crack a decent joke.
