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.
