A thread on the migration of academics from the other place to @bsky.app 🧵👇
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

Putting aside data issues. This feels like a good use of the Notebook LM technology. It uses generative AI to auditorise (is this a word?) our data. I wonder how much is generic 🤔
But is it a podcast? Is a podcast now a recorded conversation? A media file? Answers on a postcard
