Ryan Staake

For the past month, I’ve been working on a tool that analyzes news and visualizes connections between our many global crises. It’s called POLYCRISIS.WORLD. It’s a bit like a cross between a deep news viewer and a psychotic bulletin board covered in Polaroids and red yarn. Link in bio. (Built with Claude code. I find gen ai for video boring but I can’t get enough ai assisted coding, fight me)

Stared into the eye of the solar system yesterday! Totality is unreal, completely blown away. Fumbled through taking these pics then tried to focus on the moment.

Congrats to @hu.ma.ne , @imranchaudhri , @bethanybongiorno and the rest of the team for launching the Ai pin! So exciting to finally see your groundbreaking product out in the world.
