What I experience on Twitter is the illusion of learning, the illusion of community, the illusion of being heard when I feel I have something to say. I’m addicted to this illusion but if I’m honest it’s the opposite of what I want in my life. Excited to try a 2023 without it.

First The Algorithm trained opinion-havers to please it (making a public debate that rewards bad actors), then artists to please it (= a culture of copycat influencers). Next it will train students please it. Get ready for a world where everybody writes and ‘thinks’ like Chat-GPT

Very sad to hear this. Larry was one of the smartest people I ever met, inspiring and generous.

'Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra?'

This is it, the dumbest sentence I have ever read.
