In 2022, I released a little project called "Are my third parties green?" so people can check the sustainability of third parties on the web. Nearly 5000 web page checks later it's time for an update!
It's still in beta, but you can give it a look over at amtpg.run (https://amtpg.run)

I’m not worried about AI.
I’m already a machine at work.

Very curious to see what develops out of this.
> Research on a low-tech, open-source media format for time-based audiovisual storytelling on the web. It uses choreographed HTML elements synchronized with audio and subtitles to offer a lightweight, sustainable, and accessible alternative to conventional video — compatible with a broad diversity of devices, territories, and linguistic contexts.
