"...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" popmatters.com/anika-gupta-h…. I can't believe it'll be out in a month!
My latest for @PopMatters : the fascinating new book by @DigitalAnika on the role of moderators in online communities popmatters.com/anika-gupta-h…
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.
Thanks so much, @Brizzyc! It was always a pleasure speaking to your classes and I'm so glad you found value in it!!! ❤️
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 simonandschuster.com/books/H…
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): airtable.com/appNO0zdvj9yW6p…
This was crazy fun. Thank you @GamerGrrl for turning AI Adventure into the wild, bizarre, hilarious party game it clearly was (partly) meant to be :D
TIL: "In 1904, a designer named Lizzie Magie patented the Landlord’s Game—“a practical demonstration of the present system of land-grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences”—which 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 🤣 Highlight: GPT4 decided the narrator should have a voice somewhere between Lady Whistledown and "terrible pun dictionary."
Give it a try here: ai-adventure.steamship.com/a…
SOOOOO excited for this! Major fan of @GamerGrrl (games narrative nerds, unite!) and excited to have worked on it. Come hang on Thurs! Discuss!
🗓️Mark 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 out😂
Excited for this!
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! discord.com/invite/dR5fHvxSN…
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
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 💅:
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

And just like that....I won! An...acorn whistle? A magical squirrel whistle? I'll take it, honestly. If only Tinder were so whimsical
Thanks for the fun, story creator! Play "Swipe Right" here: ai-adventure.steamship.com/a…
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
First challenge: a glitch in the dating app has turned all my messages into emoji. Hmm 🤔
I think I'm going to have to go with it and just...respond entirely in emoji. I mean, makes sense.
