Be careful with [Twitter](https://twitter.com/flancian), they said. You'll get addicted. I said: don't worry, I have it under control. I recognize you can get addicted to social networks; I'm doing this purposefully. I want to investigate how to hack dopamine hacking, in a way: how to use the dynamics that social networks exploit for my own benefit, or (stretch goal) for the benefit of society. I still got hooked. I do believe a lot of what's come out of it thus far is productive: I try to use Twitter as an open note taking tool, to "think socially" -- to motivate myself to get my writing out there, even if it's in bite sized chunks. But I'm also falling prey to the algorithm; one that, of course, I can't control. The algorithm's objectives are not my objectives; I can try to bend it, but I can't replace it, so all in all Twitter is sometimes [competitive instead of complementary](link://slug/cognitive-artifacts). In any case, these are what I consider the relative highlights of my Twitter career so far. I've set up [go links](link://slug/go-links) for each of these to make referencing them easier. - , my post popular tweet ever -- the result of playing with GPT-3 through [AI Dungeon](https://play.aidungeon.io). - , where I comment bolo'bolo -- an anarchist classic by p.m. - , where I try to learn Clojure (and mostly fail). - , more about GPT-3. - , where I comment Antisocial by Marantz. - , where I comment Finding Chaos by Heather Marsh. - , a thread I thought could be useful as a starting point to learn more about philosophy. - , a thread about online encyclopedias. I've also set up a trivial redirect from https://flancia.org/t/x to a Twitter search for 'x' in my account. Enjoy (?). E.g. .
