Nuggets Are Really Powerful

Back to Nuggets, which are really powerful:

• Nuggets live in the open. They are open content.
• These Nuggets live on Github (for now), which gives us several capabilities:
  • Every change is tracked and available through Github's version-control features.
  • We can improve each Nugget over time, as a social document, via Github's Fork and Pull method.
• Because they are hypertexts, Nuggets can be woven into their context with links and more.
• Those links can include:
  • Metadata!
  • Broader context
    • Further reading
    • Relevant Thoughts in Jerry's Brain
  • Parallel versions of the same Nugget
    • in different languages
    • in different levels of difficulty
    • with more (or less) explanation or examples
    • in different modes or media
      • as a slide in a presentation
      • as a segment of video
      • as a graphic novel or animation
    • published in mainstream media
    • mentions in other media
    • in other NeoBooks
  • Conversations
    • In-place chat or comments
    • Communities and conversations you can join now
  • Get more involved
    • Improve this Nugget: offer edits
    • Use this Nugget in your own NeoBook
    • Fork this Nugget and make it your own
    • Source data, with analytic tools
    • Resources to take action
  • Software that instantiates what the Nuggets say
    • (compare to how GPTs might do this; add page about GPTs; Emily Bender tweet)
  • Chatbots that let you talk to this and other Nuggets
  • Prompts for GPT
• As social documents, nuggets contribute to Collective Intelligence.
• Nuggets are composable They are reusable in other narratives or NeoBooks.
• A wish: A memorable trope (like Cut, Copy Paste, Undo) that helps us orient ourselves to all these possibilities.
