@topgold.ie Even teens on buses glare at my specs. Getting run out of some edtech workshops with them: insideview.ie/2026/09/22/b…

@topgold.ie Claude tells me wjen my son is using my laptop at hom bc Dispatch fires an auth request to my phone when it is active

@topgold.ie We need to share Adventures with Dispatch.

@topgold.ie Simon, we could tighten up previous content so it could be addressed by a chatbot for people to see if there is something worth learning. The price for admission: Pay It Forward by sharing something from your own workflow.

@sm2n.bsky.social We should package these back-and-forths as “Five minute AI reveals for normies”

@sm2n.bsky.social Nice! I use Eightify to auto-summarise in a side panel. I need to look at native YouTube transcripts–thanks!

@sm2n.bsky.social youtu.be/g6tmqwTULk8?…

@sm2n.bsky.social I enjoy asking Claude, “Now that you have a new slide deck, scan my vault for three things that could enhance the main points.”

@sm2n.bsky.social Is the Clipper transcribing 10 minute YouTubes?

@newrepublic.com I want AI to make a game that puts Trump into Graham Norton’s Red Chair so players can Dump Trump on their smartphones.

@sm2n.bsky.social My Haiku won’t handle API calls. Claude gives me that content protection warning when transcribing YouTube.

@topgold.ie With all the cash used by the Big Seven to buy data centres and compute, there is less for dividends or share buyback unless there are big cuts in headcount.

@mathewlowry.eurosky.social Just noticing KLM prices jumped €110 since my last AMS flight to Ireland. But still reasonable if all I carry is a shoulder bag.

@dermotcasey.bsky.social That thread of recs from @dermotcasey.bsky.social is worthy of being the Full Irish Starter Pack. Several on Dermot’s lists will pay for a table of pints.

@sm2n.bsky.social Would you gift me a portrait format Miro board I can anonymise for one of my training courses?

@sm2n.bsky.social And you need Loki for the sw dev inside you: mathewlowry.leaflet.pub/3muzh7gx5pk2m

@sm2n.bsky.social It’s an essential part of EducatorOS and something I want to get a few educator friends interested in refining.

@topgold.ie @kolebri.bsky.social you and Coreline are certified “human” BTW: insideview.ie/2026/09/22/h…

@sm2n.bsky.social I need to make an explainer video that shows Obsidian with Claude creating my decks.

@manton.org Democratic futurists like Audrey Tang speak of “plurality” when AI becomes an assistive tech, decentralising power to citizens and providing democratic leaders with visions of the future. We the people are already the superintelligence we’re looking for”, says Tang.

@topgold.ie I’ve increased longevity by .2 years after 18 months of use so I think I am on the right path.

@mneylon.social A-OK. Never a bother. My kids have dual passpprts. I am the odd man out. I may have my Retired with an Irish Passport Party in 2030 if I behave myself.

@mneylon.social GNIB only knows me from 2002 and never for more than 3 consecutive years at a time, even though I’ve owned 2 homes and 4 taxed cars since 1995. The databases connect only if you’re prosecuted in court. There are other Americans here like me. Life is fine if you blend in. No ICE in my …

@mneylon.social The new document definitely raises the bar. I wonder if I enhance my naturalisation prospects now that my American passport has expired.

@soulcruzer.bsky.social I have specified three personas for my Claude. When I don’t like Claude’s tone of voice, I ask “What does Steph think?” And if I want a harsher no-holds-barred perspective, I ask for “Randy” to comment.
