I think I just had THE fediverse moment:
Scrolling through my timeline watching text posts, photos, a peertube video...A short video.

"ah nice MTB video" , I thought. Until I saw the handle: someone@loops. Wait.. I see a loops here. This isn't just a video. This is a video on A DIFFERENT Service. And I can seamlessly interact with it.

A new service just integrated seamlessly into my timeline. No "connect your account", no "extra app", no "extra login", no, it's just there

This is

The real MLK was a radical. Take a moment today to learn something new about him. You will be glad you did.

A tweet from Andre Henry ([@]andrehenry), marked with "sos" in red, displays the text: "Once again, it's that time of year that we pretend Dr. King never said things like this:" Below, a quote image features a black - and - white photo of a person on the left, and on the right, text reads: "Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system. — Martin Luther King — AZ QUOTES"

I always run out of characters on .social esp when you include links. I wish we could deep link a text to fit in some more commentary!

Sure I could just supplement but with a reply to my own post but but but

ChatGPT woke us up to the possibilities that that come from generating text. Claude Code is now doing the same thing for tools. I wrote about five things I built with it to help me as a writer platformer.news/claude-code-fo

Build a searchable database of your own work. I’ve always wanted a database of my writing that I could run semantic queries on. Stuff like: “When was the last time I wrote a column about Grok?” Or, “what criticisms have people made of the Meta Oversight Board?” It is possible to get answers to these questions via Google. But I’ve always wanted answers grounded in my own work, with quick links to the relevant materials. 

After describing this idea to Claude, it went to work. It exported 818 editions of Platformer into a folder of text files organized by date, and then connected it to Claude. Now when I ask Claude questions about my archive, it reads through relevant posts and gives me an answer. I have wanted something like this for nearly half a decade now, and Claude built it in less than half an hour.

Wrote about how the Grok scandal upended our notion that platforms would do even the bare minimum to prevent attacks against their own user base platformer.news/grock-blocked-

France, Australia, and India have also all announced investigations into Grok. In truth, though, there is very little to investigate. Thousands of public posts tell the grim story. No one is disputing that xAI made available to its user base a tool that puts women and children into their underwear — or worse — against their will. No one is disputing that some of this content is illegal in many of the countries where xAI operates. And no one is disputing that Grok continues to generate this kind of material on demand.

When deepfakes first emerged as an online harm, I took some comfort in the notion that they likely would not spread virally. Individuals might send them via messages, I thought, but platforms would intervene to remove violating posts — particularly posts targeting children. Never could I have imagined that someday the former Twitter would deploy tools that enable and amplify those harms, and would dismiss any attempts to rein the company in as “censorship.”

Went and saw the open air exhibit called Trolls: a Field Study by danish sustainability artist Thomas Dambo at the NC Arboretum!

Such a cool and inspirational installation to experience while they visit.
