We had 12 papers, collectively authored by researchers from around 20 universities at different career stages and from across the globe. We were also very fortunate to welcome a stellar group of participants without papers. Clearly, LLMs are on many political scientists’ minds these days. 🧵2/4

Ok, @bsky.app, your time has come. Can #Bluesky topple X in terms of users? It should certainly be the goal! I'd personally also welcome #Bluesky to sell ads to keep growing. Seems like the surest way to tap funds fast to continue developing the infrastructure necessary to host 100+ million users...

The comparison is a bit dated. @bsky.app has a thread functionality @bluethread.bsky.social & multimedia posts. What was (and still is) holding back Bluesky is that it is an invite-only system. Still, I am confident that Bluesky will replace Twitter for most high-quality content in 2024.
