Prune – Sharpen Your Claims Through Iterative Refinement Prune is a journaling tool that uses gentle questions and branching to sharpen a single sentence—your claim—through iterative refinement.

You write one sentence.
Prune asks gentle questions → offers branching rewrites.
You prune, merge, refine.
Bit by bit, your claim gets sharper.

Built with policy / research folks in mind, but open to anyone curious.

🌱 As part of my fellowship research, I built a tiny experiment called Prune.

It’s like journaling, but with branches.

Which tool (or mcp) have people had the most luck with in terms of adding knowledge/memory?

I rolled my own a while ago but I often have to remind my app to remember something, which totally defeats the purpose.

If one guy holds most of the tech people rely on, it is a vulnerability, but also it's one guy: as a global population we should be able to easily just take it from him, so it seems to me the real vulnerability is an internalized belief that private ownership is more sacrosanct than human thriving.

Techno Feudalism is incredible. Still working my way through it and will probably reread it too, but it has made me surer than ever that you can't put your energy (be it creativity, cultural artifacts or problem-solving/engineering) into systems you don't want to see reproduce

Other than boycotting businesses and calling representatives, have you found solid ways to resist the regime? I want to do more but I’m struggling on deciding what that “what” should be.

If you haven't tried it yet, Cline's ability to create it's own MCP tools and then use them is pretty impressive.

“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.
Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Structurally disciplined collective sense-making for civics is everyone’s problem because it’s been no one’s problem. News orgs can only make things that they can own and get credit for. Great people + small orgs work on pieces of it all the time, but the info environment…is what it is.
