This week’s episode of [revolution.social]( ) is with [@harper.lol]( ) we’re we talk about social media for AI agents to talk to each other, how he went from a nomadic anarchist circus performer to being CTO of the Obama re-election campaign where they developed radical new forms of targeting voters.

Trying out notebooklm created videos trained on my [revolution.social]( ) podcast. Here's a video about how hard it is to do content moderation, based on my discussions with [@yoyoel.com]( ), @npub1980d...wz3h, @Mike Masnick, [@coachtony.bsky.social]( ), and others.... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bas4q6ksuie6quze6t4z7sga&cid=bafkreicvzitmeje2a3vjf6r5u76nxjus543bpxvkix2qhicxucqvqgqtrm
