I really love the point about how emotion can actually make people more efficient than AI because technology doesn’t have interest. I also really like your description of Variables. All of the Twine stuff was really confusing to me at first (finally starting to get it because of the project) but your explanations make a lot of sense. I also really liked that they book pretty much ended with that chapter on attention. It really is so important to think about what we’re giving our attention and time to when there are so many different things fighting for these ever limited resources.

I like how you summarize the last couple chapters of Verified! In particular I liked when you state that computers don’t know what’s important unless we tell them. For humans, however, it’s an automatic process; when we see something, we immediately know if it’s important to us and what aspects of it are important to us.

Your little tidbits of advice for Twine are super helpful! As someone who hasn’t used this program at all before, I’m lost as to what it can do and what the limits are and so on. I think my biggest problem is that I can’t get HTML, CSS, and Twine to work together without any issues.

Hi! I loved your wrap up of Verified! It was a great summary of all that happened. I think for me, the biggest thing I took away from the ending of the book was the element of surprise and how you can turn that into an investigation. You touched on this and said it in a clearer way than I could, but the sentiment of surprise leading you to knowledge was really cool to read about. Also, I hope you and your group’s Twine is going well! I know my group has worked hard, and we are pretty proud of our game. I hope to play y’all’s game at the event today! Best wishes!

I totally agree, I thought it was such a good way to close off the book. I completely forgot to add in the effectiveness of “being interested.” It is such an important play in not only what he choose to begin with, but then what he decide to continue to pay attention to. Finding that piece of the article that you want more from really helps feed that interest, and often readers probably lack that as they realize the piece isn’t what they thought.

I really liked your thoughts on variables as the primary center point of your article. It is such a large portion of Twine, and really makes up the deciding factors in the end when it comes to making the game itself.
