"What I like about multiplayer cursors, cursor chat, and shared highlighting is that it’s like the opposite of a feature… It’s not differentiation. It wouldn’t dilute me if you did it too. (But it shouldn’t be a browser feature, it’s part of the site, it’s me designing the vibe for this particular place.) It doesn’t stand out. If there’s nobody else on this site you wouldn’t even notice. It should be everywhere. It’s how the web should be." https://warpcast.com/vgr/0x3f9a033a

"We're excited too, because this new paradigm is not limited to video games. It has more mundane applications: it opens up entirely new search spaces. Those which are a feature of both antiquity and science fiction. It hints at generative memory palaces. Interactive representations of saved things that can be inhabited by end users. To get a feel for this speculative possibility, let's examine its constituent elements..." https://paragraph.xyz/@subset/generative-memory-palaces

"Quite accidentally, we've stumbled upon three distinct sub-modes that people move between as curators, as part of the longer pace layer undulations between consuming, curating and creating. Curators tend to: 1) Act selfishly 2) Invoke others 3) Construct systems..." Shoutout to @brunnicorsato, @riotgoools, @sonyasupposedly and @sjlver for the discourse that informed this one 🙏 🙌 https://paragraph.xyz/@subset/self-other-system
