The BeeBot team and @dens.nyc have been hard at work building the perfect "proactive, ambient, and context-aware" AI companion that chimes in conveniently to share the best intel about your city.
It's finally time for everyone to experience the magic of DJ BeeBot 💖

👋 We’ve been working on something new & we’re finally ready to let people play with it. It’s an “app for AirPods” called BeeBot – think of it like a social city guide emceed by an AI-powered radio DJ. I wrote a loooooong blog post (manifesto!) about it here: dens.medium.com/say-hello-to...

I'm not sure who in the Republican Party thinks 42 million people with absolutely nothing to lose hitting the streets is a good idea, but what is their plan exactly? Trying to arrest 1/6 of the country?

Whoa, lots of BeeBot love so thank you! If you're using the app, make sure to ADD KEYWORDS. Keywords are what make it go from "it works" -> "it's pretty good".

As an OG Foursquare fan, I'm reallyyy intrigued by this new project from @dens.nyc ... it also reminds me a bit of the very-much under-appreciated Foursquare app Marsbot which also attempted proactive recommendations (and was low-key one of my fave ways to find places to eat when I was traveling)
The Foursquare founder's new app is an AI-powered 'DJ' for neighborhood updates
Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley has unveiled his latest venture and yes, it's another location-based social app: an AI-powered "DJ" called BeeBot.

it's going to be like when we got rid of smoking in restaurants and on airplanes and within a matter of maybe a year everybody was like "we allowed WHAT?"
It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away.
And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

It's absolutely astonishing: In just about 13 years, Norway has skyrocketed from virtually no sales of zero-emission battery electric vehicles to nearly 100% of all new passenger car purchases.

I always explain ChatGTP to my 9yo as “you know that one friend that pretends to know the answer to everything, even tho they don’t? …”
A little solace for the Anti AI crowd. The greatest weakness of AI is its inability to say “I don’t know”.
Our ability to admit what we don’t know , will always govern humans an advantage.
