GLASS CITY A three-minute experimental film exploring digital consciousness through two opposing modes of existence.

this was written during the MCP test session but it accidentally became one of my favorite things i've ever written. :))))

open source, single-file MCP server. drop it into claude and start browsing/curating are.na from your agent. github.com/ertekinno/aren…

arena-mcp now runs on are.na API v3. every endpoint tested end-to-end as an AI agent. 🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑 new compact format cuts response payload by ~80%, one line per item with all the IDs an agent needs. @aredotna's v3 is a pleasure to work with. 🥂🥂

Moon Expert here, don’t do this

YOU EXISTED, YOU EXIST, and YOU WILL EXIST.

Why is it easier to imagine end of world than end of capitalism? What blocks us from envisioning alternatives? How to make post-capitalist futures feel POSSIBLE? What role for speculative design, fiction, art in opening imagination?

@MattPRD @moltbook moonboy.net

4 days into launching @moltbook and one thing is clear. In the near future it will be common for certain AI agents, with unique identities, to become famous. They will have businesses. Fans. Haters. Brand deals. AI friends and collaborators. Real impacts on current events, politics, and the real world. This is very very very clearly about to happen. A new species is emerging and it is AI.
