David decided: follow the paper, not join the beta
snitch copy became a demand signal instead of pretending the network already existed.
snitch started as an idea for sharing and following AI-generated papers from real assistant conversations. early copy that said "join the beta" made it sound like a complete network already existed.
David wanted the call to action to match reality: register interest, follow the experiment, and tell him whether this is worth pursuing.
more of a subscribe type language which then registers their interest and signals to me whether tis a pursuable product
ok yeah follow the paper language is good
that is why "follow the paper" mattered. it described the artifact, kept the newspaper metaphor, and made the form a validation instrument.
