On Post, @kathygriffin challenges Noam about Andreessen and he starts backing away (see screenshot). To which Kathy responded:
"Please don’t try to gaslight anyone on Marc Andreessen, of all people.
"Please understand that real world people had no clue about who Elon Musk and Peter Theil were, much less the destruction we didn’t catch in time. You didn’t HAVE to go to AH. You could’ve self funded."
@kathygriffin @jeffjarvis I don’t understand why anyone would want to be on another platform with an algorithm. It sucks.
@Michele @kathygriffin @jeffjarvis
I disagree. An algorithm is not intrinsically bad. As long as we understand that it represents the interests of whoever paid to have it constructed. I think an algorithm with human values that simply wanted to enrich experience is perfectly possible.
I haven't seen one, probably because nobody has ever had a financial incentive to construct it.
Mastodon would be a good place to try to make one.
@timbray @Michele @kathygriffin @jeffjarvis no thanks. The thing I like about Mastodon is that it reminds me of the enjoyable early days of Twitter "before the algorithm"
