Handle Horse

Monitor when your desired Twitter handle becomes available

Handle Horse launched on December 11, 2022 with 278 votes, #76 of 3,688 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

Handle Horse monitors Twitter handles and alerts users when their desired handle becomes available for registration. Following Elon Musk's announcement that Twitter would release unused handles, the service continuously tracks specific usernames and sends notifications the moment they can be claimed. Designed for Twitter users seeking particular handles, it operates as a free automated monitoring tool that removes the need to manually check availability.

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
