Production note for Rethinking Social Media: What Video Games Can Teach Us About Pro-Social Interaction

In this post, Claude (Sonnet 3.7) has been used to:

• brainstorm about viewing social media websites as the gamification of social interaction
• developing the analogy in more details
• building an effective dichotomy.

I then decided to use the voices of Cory Doctorow and Seth Goodin for rethoric effect, to stress the dichotomy further and asked Claude to rewrite two specific sections in their style. (The rest is the standard Claude voice. My voice? The most authentic one speaks Italian, sorry.)

Cory, if you’re reading this, I hope you won’t start advocating for intellectual property over style next. So I hope you don’t mind the cultural appropriation. And Seth, I’m just following the advice about how to use LLM I recently found in your blog. So I hope you don’t mind either.
