Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the ideas you share. They really resonate with me: PR isn’t just for big brands, it’s a powerful free tool for small businesses too. Amazing how much our thinking aligns with what we’re building at @betatale.com ! Just wanted to send some support :)

Hi Daisy!
If the deadline’s still open, I can share this with the big AI community + @Betatale media experts (there are cryo specialists there).
Which outlet are you writing for, and when’s the deadline?

Let me know if it’s still relevant β€” or if you’ve got new topics.
Cheers!
Constantine

Hi Heidi,
I realise it’s been a month, but if the deadline hasn’t passed, I can share this in my Tech Nation community and also post it in the @Betatale media expert network, where I’m the founder.

Let me know if it’s still relevant, or if there are any new topics you’re working on.

Cheers! :)

Hi Sam! Deadline likely passed, but we had slug invasions on our ground-floor balcony. My wife hates slugs and used Slug & Snail Killer (blue granules) - magically, slugs won’t cross it :)) Super effective but toxic to pets. Can share more, just limited to 300 characters here :)

Great take on disclosure. The food labeling analogy really hits the mark.

"When I am using AI, I feel it’s good to let the recipients of my work know the extent and the reason why I used it. With disclosure comes choice. It is like food labelling. Customers have the right to know what they are consuming and they can then make informed choices that work best for them."
