Jess Martin recently got in touch to kick off monthly speaker series with Tools for Thought Rocks again. As part of that, we’re reviewing all the systems and tools we use.

Since we’ve been with them for some long, they ditched some things (their community / chat stuff), and simplified it to be calendars with shared admin access at the center.

Friends! I am drafting a reading seminar proposal on "Human-Centered AI-Infused Systems: Conceptual Foundations and Design Patterns"

Goal is to engage deeply with theoretical and conceptual foundations and notable design examples and patterns for engaging with the question: "How might we design AI-infused systems that augment — rather than replace — human intelligence and work?"

The current draft is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11bhB-EVlZAOcPIMjJB07fiNIaZVzKZuy_7jZeI3h3-s/edit?usp=sharing

I initially wrote #subsidian to observe the #obsidian graph view of a publication, to see the network of knowledge the author managed to create.

Subsidian is also useful for downloading a #substack archive for offline reading.

The Subconscious Beta is out now.

The client app going into beta is a single player MVP.

But underneath the Noosphere protocol syncs and links notes and files planetwide, talks IPFS, and is open source.

Blogging, round two, but for tools for thought. https://subconscious.substack.com/p/subconscious-beta
