They nee to get specific about "extending the light of consciousness"
Here is the problem - 1. Networks grew. Devices/Content creation got cheap.
2. Cost of Broadcast fell to 0. Cost to spam fell to 0.
3. Info Exploded. Attention got scarce.
4. To address the Info tsunami there is an Explosion of half baked Tools (page rank,news feed, collecting personal info, like counts etc) all of which get gamed as arms races for scarce Attention begin
5. Pressure to keep the tools free causes dependency on Advertising to build.
6. Advertisers change the focus of the tools to Engagement Maximization. Attention gets fucked further.
7. Never ending side effects and unintended consequences. Hack on top of hack to address each one. Throw in crypto, mindless market capture/empire defense wars. And people are furiously 24x7 on a road to now where.
Getting back control over Attention is all that matters. Any tool that doesnt focus on that as the primary goal is worthless.
Nobel prize for stating the bloody obvious, there…
Of course no link to what Jack posted in full about Twitter and Elon, much of journalism is so dishonest in what they don't report...
Oh, he said it was sad how this all went down. Honestly, who cares if you're sad about it, Jack. You egged him on at the time. You have some responsibility for this mess.
