Just a heads up that this is rough notes of everything they talked about. As fast as i could I wrote or closely paraphrased what they said.
I did not write my own opinion in this post.
At least i tried hard to make it not my opinion... just notes

Just like bittorrent and dlive both stayed as it is
computer battery almost gone and we've addressed most of the question
52: pimping to follow him on twitter and that he will post news there of live streams
Thank you, @jarvie. I will only say this once and then move on. I just wish Steemians had shown up with an open mind and heart. Instead we showed up as a petulant, angry mob. Sigh.
Thanks for the blow by blow.
I watched it and was impressed by how they managed to ignore so many questions.
No plans for now to mess with Witnesses. No plans for now for a token swap. Hmmmm...
Justin Tron doesn’t have a power cord?
To be fair, I wouldn’t expect a flat out promise that they’ll never do x, y, or z. Perhaps the plan was initially for an immediate token swap and we already squelched it with discussion yesterday.
I’m encouraged by what I just read above. At the very least there’s more time to grow and acquire stake. The longer Steemit Inc. (Tron) plays by the existing rules they’d always adhered to, the more they’re diluted and power moves to the community.
I’m at work, but I’ll be looking to watch everything later and perhaps my feelings will change with more nuance.
That sounds plausible. Sun’s Medium post made it sound like a done deal. But so much of the post was confusing. Poorly translated from Chinese?
So is this more of a partnership to explore use of BOTH steem and tron integration or is it just a migration effort to tron?

No question answered IMHO. Marketing talk, no details. They haven't addressed any tough questions asked by the community. Some people will be sold, some must be preparing a hard fork.
Here are my notes from what I've seen: justinsun-ama-first-impression
Thank you for sharing the notes, @jarvie!

Thanks for posting. As expected...
Thanks so much for the recap!!!
Must have been hard to hold back your opinion ;)
I caught parts of it and definitely had lots of opinions :D
"Computer battery running out" was one of my favorites XD
Hi @connecteconomy
Just a moment ago I decided to check out your profile and see if you published any articles lately - only to realize that you didn't publish anything in a long while.
Hope you are well and didn't give up on steemit yet.
Cheers, Piotr
Nothing to do with Steemit, just had less time over the past few months :)
Great notes Jarvie .... Battery running out 😅😅😅
