I would say this is good to see on principle, but I assume which businesses they target will be decided through corruption and not data.

But it always has, Twitter hasn’t gotten bigger “people have gotten tired of echo chambers” would imply movement from echo chambers to places where people are together. Where’s the movement. I think _more_ people are opting for echo chamb

Is this that masculine energy Zuck was hoping to bring to Facebook? For serious though, this seems like the kind of political awkwardness detailed in careless people. It makes me wonder, some people do seem to rise to prominence by being s

Yes, some people benefit more from watching the news than others and therefore choose to.

So but maybe reasoning is this leap where they had to make it 20x more expensive but now costs head back on a downward trajectory and future evolutions don’t require the same jump in tokens?

A, singular? Which specific point of view is it weaponized for that it’s trying to hide? Maybe you’re not skeptical enough. Me a Wikipedia editor?! blushes no? These days I just let ChatGPT tell me what to think, it’s more objective and

“A good encyclopedia doesn’t push an ideological agenda” But this is the no true Scotsman fallacy, encyclopedia’s are inherently biased. A good _______ doesn’t push an ideological agenda but they all do. I think I would argue Wikipedia le

My guess is that there is a belief that the value extraction is happening closer to the user. Like before search engines you wanted to be a web page with a recipe for chocolate cake, and you could monetize the value of that recipe with ads.

“I seek out individuals I think are smart from a variety of places and read a lot - I'm not sure if there's another way. The more I do this, the more I have a general dislike for wikipedia.” Right but then this isn’t the purpose o

But what is better? I mean yes, reading 20 sources on a topic and coming to your own conclusions about an issue is the right answer, but the fact that Wikipedia published its edit history and discussions page makes it seem better than then

What are people regularly using Wikipedia for that the bias is that terrible? Are you exclusively looking up controversial conflicts, right wing leaders and climate change? I just have never had my everyday curiosity cross paths with only

This is definetly pedantic, but also: “Just genuinely try to build the small habits that move you closer to who you want to become.” So are you saying you should extend yourself to try things you might not normally do? Things that may not

They did say this was specifically in customer service, which if there was a department I believe you might be replaced by AI this would be it; Alternatively though if the market is bad and there not launching as many new products or appeal

I got in my first fight with Bluesky leftists recently. And while it was remarkably annoying (for think I got a bit of a better sense of how challenging our political situation is), I could mute them pretty easily, I chose to keep engaging

I wonder if politics is a top line issue or a bottom line issue. Teenagers never seriously paid attention to politics when I was a kid, now everyone does. So are people really getting dumber or are dumber people getting into politics.

I assume you mean violent crime? One of the reasons this is so hard is that everyone disagrees on what crimes should be. Drinking and Driving? Not i a libertarian utopia. https://youtu.be/2xcQIoh3FQQ?si=wRhIKdQOpklwcjIK

Something’s I’ve noticed are better in a context; or similarly, I choose not to like them because time / my life has gone a different way. Like I like going to state fairs, and I like country music in that context, even if I wouldn’t c

But my point is that this is a highly competitive environment, the whole point in a highly competitive environment is to manipulate the environment and people. That’s what people get promoted for. So why not play the game? Again in the h

For another take - what’s the game theory here? If I’m kinda sensitive but also hyper-ambitious, I acknowledge that Facebook has 1. Some of the highest pay in the industry. 2. Ultra-competitive environment. 3. Low moral principles. Seems li

On the one hand, I think people on the outside(maybe as well as people on the inside) are bad at differentiating between good conflict and bad conflict. A shift like this is going to cause drama, and there’s no way to integrate all these p

I mean, all things considered is government web design that bad? I’m sure there are explicit exceptions, but I like say the national parks website, I surely wouldn’t like to see it turned into some bland minimalist Airbnb style design. It

I don’t know what this means, also, this isn’t about “scary feelings” some people want to use the power of the state against gay people. Probably not the mainstream of the Republican Party, but it was just an interesting observation, not a
