I asked Claude Opus 5.5: "Create a motion graphics ad for YouCongress Reconsider [url]" This is what it made. 👇

Toni Segarra used to say that you have to communicate one thing. People can find more about your brand later. So I simplified the home of YouCongress.org. Now it helps you discover what's latest in AI governance from experts, policy makers and public figures. Everything else we do can wait.

Hardly a day goes by without my getting email from someone looking for ways to do good with tech. From computer science students thinking about post-grad careers to seasoned coders with decades of experience, there's an army of hackers looking for a way to turn their expertise into public goods. 1/

Claude + the @rocketvalidator.com MCP server saves so much time. One prompt: "Create a new Rocket Validator report and fix all HTML and accessibility errors." 13 minutes later, youcongress.org went from 96 HTML errors and 192 a11y issues across 100 pages to 0.

Major LLMs appear to nudge users away from extreme positions and toward moderate, expert-aligned stances. The opposite of social media's polarising effect. Interesting, given how much we've heard about LLMs' tendency to agree with whatever the user says.

I connected YouCongress to Claude via MCP and asked: "What should Spain do to prepare for a post-AGI world?" It pulled 78 expert quotes and clustered them into 4 perspectives. Not pro vs con but 4 worldviews with different policy implications.

OpenAI launched an Elixir app this week: Symphony. It’s an orchestrator for coding agents that start working on issues when you move them into the Todo column in Linear. I’ve been experimenting with it over the past few days and it’s a pretty interesting direction for agent workflows.

The biggest near-term risk from AI isn’t “evil superintelligence.” It’s a coordination failure. I expand on why this matters using the Fermi Paradox as a metaphor: 👉 open.substack.com/pub/networks...
