Now, you might say, we have TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc. Sure, we do. But those are filtered through their own bottleneck: an algorithm that sorts their content. And if you want to see what kind of culture emerges from an algorithmic feed, go look at a Facebook cooking video.

Twitter, pre-Musk, pre-all of this, meant that if you were young, inexperienced, from a marginalized background, or just a huge weirdo, those important people might see your stuff. And crucially, they would see your stuff BEFORE it was sanded down in that editorial bottleneck.

I keep waiting for someone else to make this point but it hasn’t happened yet. Or I haven’t seen it yet. Discovery on here sucks now. But there’s a very profound thing that Twitter provides creative industries that isn’t traffic. And when it’s gone, oh boy, are we gonna feel it…

This is quite the paper! It gave 25 AI agents motivations & memory, and put them in a simulated town. Not only did they engage in complex behavior (including throwing a Valentine’s Day party) but the actions were rated more human than humans roleplaying. https://t.co/G7oJW1S3na https://t.co/d7Gp4sXp4V

Imply vs. infer: Writers or speakers imply in the words they use. A listener or reader infers something from the words.

Reformation’s strategy of asking creators to recreate videos wearing their clothes is both sneaky and smart. The content is also almost guaranteed to perform since the original version was already proven on a different channel. The risk? People like me recognizing the video.

still thinking about how ryan gosling said in an interview that he decided to do barbie because it was "the best script he had ever read"
