I hope they add some kind of notepad function as well and it could end up replacing Google Docs / Obsidian for my early drafts.16 Mar 2025 16:39 +0000at://did:plc:ktolszig7ygux224oyrcee5b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkj3ca7pas2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/sambowman.co/post/3ljcnd4j7ds2jPosting this here because it seems like a great job people should see, working for @stuartjritchie.bsky.social at Anthropic.

Twitter’s egalitarianism under Musk, where a tweet by someone with 30 followers could go viral with enough engagement, was a Jacobinist disaster.22 Nov 2024 09:42 +0000at://did:plc:ktolszig7ygux224oyrcee5b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbjouorpvk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/sambowman.co/post/3lbesg2273c2vI'm amazed that inheritance tax is so popular with UK elites.
