"...a fascinating peek into a largely overlooked part of the online world," writes @writingonmusic in her lovely, thoughtful review of my upcoming book, "How to Handle A Crowd" https://t.co/0dtcIdFkjL. I can't believe it'll be out in a month!
A cool demo by our founder @edwardbenson showing how folks using @HubSpot can automate influencer marketing with @everpilotapp. Enter your brand info and get strategic suggestions and influencer recos!
Did a bit of playing with @AgentDotAi over the holidays.
Built an agent that spins up a creator marketing campaign based on what you sell.
The programming model was very constrained, but it felt like I was seeing an early version of a new kind of app store that will live in everyone's systems of record.
If your work involves working with or moderating online communities, I think this book by @DigitalAnika is quite useful and interesting. Lots of insight into the hard work of moderation and value of communities of all types and platforms https://t.co/lq3kuAw0CU
Hey friends! If you're a media entrepreneur wrestling with big social problems and how to leverage AI tools in a positive way for society, then my friend Phil over at @newmediaventure is looking to fund you (feel free to DM): https://t.co/65Zu1vq14Z
TIL: "In 1904, a designer named Lizzie Magie patented the Landlordโs Gameโโa practical demonstration of the present system of land-grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequencesโโwhich was later adapted, without credit for Magie, into Monopoly."

My newest attempt at creating an AI Adventure game is a salty take on dating reality shows ๐คฃ Highlight: GPT4 decided the narrator should have a voice somewhere between Lady Whistledown and "terrible pun dictionary."
Give it a try here: https://t.co/2g1bEmkxYi
๐๏ธMark your calendars! The amazing @GamerGrrl is going to be creating and playing a holiday adventure - powered by AI Adventure - this THURSDAY at 7MT/9ET pm! So excited to work with her and also...to see how this crazy story turns out๐
Want to nerd out with us about branching narrative and how AI can enrich games, all while testing a bunch of cool indie games? We'll be playtesting AI Adventure with the awesome @BreakMyGameG folks, this Sun at 4 pm at @Game_Kastle_CP! Come by!
This is fantastic! Both of these features grew directly out of user feedback and insights -- play AI Adventure, and drop your feedback in the Discord for the team! https://t.co/KihAuetIpB
Two mini-launches for AI Adventure
* Share snippets from the adventures that you play
* Play the first quest of adventures without login
Coming very soon:
- Tweaks from the feedback about the interplay between open-ended worlds & having firm stakes that matter
It isn't binary at all - content moderation involves a series of complex and nuanced decisions, which can vary enormously depending on who's requesting the moderation - something @HacoSasha and I talk about a lot
This is the first thing that has me looking at Googleโs LLMs with interest.
Content moderation is a HUGE challenge that isnโt binary at all.
This kind of nuance in settings will lengthen the reign of BigCo LLMs a bit in the face of DIY LLMs becoming production viable.
Playing a new community-created adventure through @GetSteamship. It's all abt getting into a hot techno club -- and I have to say I appreciate the attention to fashion ๐ :
Looking for a wonderful way to pass time AND enjoy one of literature's greatest hits? Try "To Wit and to Woo", which is my attempt at using @GetSteamship to create a narrative adventure game version of Jane Austen's novels :D

Thanks for the fun, story creator! Play "Swipe Right" here: https://t.co/U07ai0h4d3
Maybe you, too, will face dancing squirrels and endless emoji in the quest for true love...or honestly, maybe not! Every story is different :D :D
Oh, sh*. Malicious squirrels have entered the chat.
So at this point the game is suggesting some options for what I can do next, and one option is "challenge the squirrels to a dance-off." I mean...I gotta do that one, right?
First challenge: a glitch in the dating app has turned all my messages into emoji. Hmm ๐ค
I think I'm going to have to go with it and just...respond entirely in emoji. I mean, makes sense.
