As cohost of @practicalai.bsky.social, I had long since abandoned X as a source for AI news, seeking items of interest from various other social media sources. Now I find myself coming to Bluesky first, so I hope a robust AI community springs up here. I like the good vibe and sense of acceptance.

Bluesky's firehose is a treasure trove of public data for researchers and developers, and it's completely free. Check out our developer docs: docs.bsky.app

With the Practical AI podcast now on @bsky.app, maybe we could start with a conversation with @jay.bsky.team about how this platform approaches AI in its business strategy and technical stack?

For Jay, Practical AI is one of the world’s most popular and longest running AI podcasts.

The Practical AI podcast is now on Bluesky! We will start off by announcing our upcoming episodes here, and see where the conversations lead us...
