https://gordonbrander.com/, founder of subconscious (tool), publishing an amazing newsletter at: https://newsletter.squishy.computer/
an incredibly deep thinker, researcher, writer and builder - one of my favorite human beings working in tech, designing protocols for thought, i.e. open-source tools for thinking together, coordination systems/collaboration, at the intersection of tools for thought, AI, extended cognition, cybernetics and more.
you'll definitely see me refer to a lot to him if you're exploring any of my prototypes and designs of the L1F3 support systems and intentional personal OS.
i'm working on compiling my highlights/notes from all of his articles. it'll be up on this page sometime soon.
key ideas
must-reads:
introduces brilliantly the need for and reasoning behind protocols for thought. a key element for large-scale coordination systems, sensemaking and collaboration.
other important elements he brings:
simplifying/exploring foundational cybernetics/systems design concepts such as in Unconcious R&D, and the field's ideas, history and experiments synthesized into currently relevant explorations, such as in Pond brains and GPT-4.
