What if, instead of replacing humans and building shoddy software to solve nonexistent problems, AI-driven productivity boosts were used to make things ~work better~.

Idea: blindsky - all account information on a post, number of likes, reposts, etc, are hidden until you interact with the post. Content based interaction. People tend to gravitate towards the already popular (the herd effect), not necessarily for the merits of the content.

We can build a set of tools for disaster/emergency/humanitarian responses. I am based in Cairo so we are seeing spikes of demands for housing, medical supports regularly whenever conflict starts in the region. Having a fast mechanism to connect arrivals and mutual aid groups would be amazing.

Someone asked the difference between Bluesky and Mastodon and I told them that they're both food courts, but with Mastodon you have to get your whole meal from one place and with Bluesky you can mix and match. (X is a giant IHOP with no other options). Thoughts?
