If any of you can figure out how I can play on Mac, I’ll give you 58 friendship points! I’m dying to try it out.
A thread walking you through some thoughts in my public Roam on roguelikes:
A thread writing some notes about roguelikes from this talk- how roguelikes shift the default to failure and have an engaging mastery loop
58 friendship points is obviously tongue in cheek but I really want to play this game and will be very grateful to whoever figures this out! I’ve had trouble using wine wrappers with steam games before.

Feel free to reach out if your app is losing users bc they aren't accomplishing their goals.

Informed by behavioral science, game design, & a career helping over a dozen cos w/ continuous onboarding, I'm pretty good at improving adoption & retention through product decisions.
Start here and open new tabs with reckless abandon:

My trick is focusing on user goals, guiding the user involvement required to succeed, measuring / responding to success, failure, and progress, all through lenses and interventions inspired by what I've seen from behavioral scientists and game designers.

Odds are higher than I'd like that we lose Twitter, so please fill this out to stay in touch.

I don't have a newsletter or anything atm, but if I start one, or migrate to another social platform, I'll be sure to reach out so you can join me over there ❤️

I met the love of my life, made many friends, found community, clients, research opportunities, and jobs all through Twitter. I'll stick around as it goes down, but seeing the effect the leadership is having on the morale and lives of the people who built it is making me doubt.
Mastodon I guess. @robhaisfield@pkm.social pkm.social/@robhaisfield

Notion’s new AI functionality is interesting because it’s mindblowing to many while simultaneously trivial to anyone who’s played with the GPT-3 playground. Probably just a few prepackaged prompts triggered by buttons with some special effort towards using Notion formatting.
Here are some more examples of things you can do within GPT-3. It's not hard, you just need to play with it. At the top, you'll generally have a prompt that gives it a character and a scenario (sort of like improv). Then tell it what you want it to do
Notion's integration with GPT-3 is simultaneously awesome and uninspiring.

I say it's uninspiring because it doesn't take advantage of Notion's functionality or user workspace data at all. It seems to really just be prompt templates as buttons with no personalization.

Quick and dirty video on how to use GPT-3 playground to generate structured data automatically to paste directly into Tana.

In this case, I give it a list of birds, tell it what fields I want for each of them, and then GPT-3 will fill them in and format.

.@cazza42 uses @tana_inc to help her with birdwatching. I thought to myself, maybe she wants to record some data about each of the bird species, but that might take a lot of manual work. GPT-3 can do it for her!

If you click on this template link and make an account with @OpenAI, you can try it out! Just give it a different set of birds. Try it with pokemon, dogs, create monsters for your DnD campain...

Love this! @reneedefour uses a bunch of fields here too… that may be useful to you, but remember that fields are optional prompts, not chores! When I tag a #gift, I have fields for who it’s for and whether I’ve given it already or not.
Can be as low or high friction as you want. Here you'll see two ways I captured a gift idea for Ally and both will show up with a LINKS_TO search. LINKS_TO is a wildcard field, and will pull up any relationship to nodes that reference "Ally."

Here's something a bit fancy - you can add this search directly to the #person supertag, so every person has a query for gift ideas that reference them. By putting PARENT in the value for the field, you make the live search dynamic. Image

Every user being verified as human would be valuable to Twitter as a public good. That's not visceral to individuals. One of the problems with verification as a paid service is that most people aren't worried about impersonation, so don't experience the pain directly.
I don't like the idea of making Twitter "pay to play" by charging for reach. Fortnite, one of the most profitable games in the world, never sells players an advantage against other players... it's all cosmetic, self-expression stuff. Game itself is free.
Generally agree with the thrust of this vid that Twitter could gain greater profitability by researching what's worth paying for... most people don't need to care about impersonation. Many top creators want better analytics, better API access, etc.
