1 comment mishaSubmitter Maybe interesting for aspiring writers - of course post on Kiwi: There is a wave of protocol fiction coming your way. April’s contest generated some great stories, several of which we’re looking forward to publishing here. We also have essays in the hopper about concepts like tensions and protocolization theory. There’s a long wish list of stories, studies and science that we’d like to see. Here are a few, in case you’re feeling ambitious. A history of protocols in war, from matters of surrender to more complex agreements like the Geneva Conventions. A summary of the science of protocols for managing the tension between industrial work schedules and circadian rhythms, and/or seasonal affective disorder, titled Protocols for Summer. A survey of the current landscape of major climate protocols, for e.g., successors to the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols. A piece on one or more emerging protocols in AI – we already commissioned a deep dive on the Model Context Protocol, which is quickly being adopted in the industry. A case study on protocols for internal communication between teams or departments in the context of a large organization – what protocols govern communication flows across internal borders and why? We especially welcome people that don’t identify as a writer – if you’re a hands-on practitioner, we’re happy to support you. LLMs are making it easy for anyone to write, and we’re getting pretty good at AI-assisted writing. |
