People come X to get a pulse on humanity. Because of that, the platform must make every effort to resist anything that misrepresents or adulterates that pulse. There is nothing more unsettling than expecting you’re reading the words of a human -- only to find it was a machine, or an account operating at the direction of an undisclosed commercial or governmental entity. In the AI era, our product, policies, and approach will need to evolve meaningfully. Some things may not work, but we intend to employ every available tool and strategy to secure the global town square.

@jmwind cool story bro

I interviewed Mark Carney for a job. It was 2021. We were looking to bring in a board member or executive who could help us think about entrepreneurship in the context of the global economy. I was asked to interview a guy named Mark. I Googled him. He had a decent CV. In our call after brief introductions, he jumped straight in and said, “I see on Strava that you’re a runner and you live in...” It threw me off a bit. He had clearly done his homework. Borderline stalking. We talked about running for a while. He was good at small talk. He casually mentioned that he runs marathons now and then. Mental note: he does his homework. Also, is he distracting me so I do not get to my questions? I started worrying he would try to schmooze me instead of getting into anything substantive. In my defence, I had done some homework too. I had not stalked him on social media, but I had read several articles he had written. I learned that he leaned strongly globalist and believed that most of our challenges do not respect borders and will only be solved collaboratively. I wanted to see if he could argue against his own position. More specifically, I asked when countries should invest in self-reliance. For context, I explained how, in software, we have learned that purely centralized systems fail in obvious ways. But overly distributed systems fail too, when small issues propagate across too many dependencies. I asked whether societies behave the same way. Are we sometimes too decentralized? When should countries accept less efficiency and invest in more centralization or self-reliance? He smiled. I could not tell whether he thought the question was childish or whether I had annoyed him. Then he broke the silence and said, “This is a great parallel. Give me a second to think about it.” We ended up having a great conversation. That said, it took him a lot of words to make his point. Professional talker. He liked the exercise. I could tell he had spent so long defending global collaboration that he had not fully prepared for this angle. I did not know it at the time, but he was in the middle of writing Value(s), which is essentially an ode to global cooperation. We went over time. It did not faze him. He cared about finishing the discussion. At that point he was improvising, and it felt natural and fun. It was a genuinely thoughtful discussion. I learned a lot. In the end, he did not join us. But we all wanted him to. When I see him in his current gig, a small part of me laughs that I might have helped warm him up. The more I think about that conversation, the clearer it becomes that he probably did not want his current Prime Minister role. Not in the way people want promotions or titles. Some people spend a lifetime preparing for problems they hope never arrive. When the moment shows up anyway, they step in. Not because it is appealing, but because it is necessary. This just happened to be his moment.

@Steve_Yegge if you're looking for a CEO of the token im right here

Hi $GAS and CT community. I love this community, but I'm the creator and sole maintainer of Gas Town, which is going viral. It's a tremendous burden and is taking most of my day (and money). That's where my time has to go. I can't spend much time with CT. I will still drop the occasional blog post, and join streams or podcasts. But I am dedicated to Gas Town and have to focus there. I hope you understand! That's the life of the creator economy.

@sincretismo @nikitabier /raid

@nikitabier ct sucked before he even deboosted it, cause half the replies to any relevant tweet was indonesians trying to bait u into engaging with them/following them for smart followers

if @nikitabier actually cared about ct engagement farming/slop content, he would've nuked kaito

@boneGPT AI will study this one for years

Am I just a monster? It's been 4 years since my wife’s weight spiraled out of control and I'm beginning to fear for my soul. The truth is I just don't like being around an obese person for very long. Historically, finding fat unattractive is not uncommon among husbands, but today admitting that weight is the primary factor feels almost illegal. It's causing me a lot of confusion and anguish. The ideal amount of time I would like to spend doing activities with her is probably restricted to moments where she is stationary—roughly ten minutes each day, maybe 2x/day, provided she is seated and not breathing heavily. My feelings of love toward her are perfectly strong, but if I have to watch her try to navigate a narrow hallway or listen to the structural groans of our sofa for more than about 10 minutes, my blood starts to boil. I try to look past it, but it doesn't work. It's 9 AM this morning, Saturday, January 3. It's a sunny, warm day here in Austin, and she is begging me to go to the brunch spot. I was drinking coffee, still waking up, so I didn’t really feel like it, but at this size, her desire to consume calories is insatiable. She begged and begged, wheezing slightly just from the effort of the ask, so I conceded, and with a smile. I have no problem being a kind and loving husband, the problem is only that I do not enjoy the logistics of moving this human barge. It's not that I'm trying to maximize my personal pleasure; it just seems wrong that I experience so little delight when my friends all claim to love taking their normal-sized wives out in public. It was beautiful. We live on a picturesque, tree-lined block. I am even relatively relaxed from the holiday rest. A morning trip with your wife is supposed to be an iconic, peak experience. Yet for every single minute, on the inside, I just don't want to be there. I am walking at a snail's pace, listening to the friction of her thighs rubbing together—a sound like two corduroy pillows fighting to the death—and the labored, wet breathing of a pig in a sauna. She is sweating profusely after getting out of the car, her spandex leggings holding on for dear life, praying to the gods of polyester for strength. I just want to be drinking my coffee in peace. Then I feel guilty and absurdly ungrateful, and ashamed. I know that if she has the coronary, I'll long to have these days back. I have all of this perspective rationally, but nothing fixes me emotionally. Am I a terrible person? Or is my feeling within a certain range of historically normal and it's modern fat acceptance norms that are off? Whether it's my fault or not, I don't even care, I just want to figure this out. Something is wrong and I no longer have the excuse of being new to this.

@ShitpostRock @sincretismo this is a good summary

@sincretismo elites in their chauffered suburban's prefer when the working class is crammed into nissan leafified cars

is there a reason why brands stopped doing squared pixiecore cars and pivotted to round pseudo-futuristic aesthetics? every car looks like a hyundai
