Greene: For our government just to say ok your debt is completely forgiven.. it’s completely unfair
Our Board President @ColinMegill, Taiwan's Minister of Digital Affairs @AudreyT, and @divyasiddarth & @saffronhuang of @collect_intel explain to @NYTimes how @UsePolis enables conversations at scale: nytimes.com/2023/04/05/opi…
I'd add that technology for coordinating and coming to large-scale agreements (eg. pol.is ) is one of the industries that needs to be accelerated.
📣💥"Polis showed that platforms can be engineered in a different way to elevate consensus instead of division"💥📣 New in @WIRED from @carljackmiller with quotes from @jaybaxter & @audreyt & @colinmegill & @kcoleman wired.com/story/elon-mus… @UsePolis @CommunityNotes #birdwatch
Twitter @Birdwatch builds on @UsePolis algorithms, methods and concepts. We're extremely excited to see @Birdwatch take off, and the early results look very promising. The @Birdwatch paper has dropped! Direct link: github.com/twitter/birdwa… twitter.com/metaviv/status…
This is a major—and risky—investment by @Twitter. It requires reimagining what social media could be, building on ideas & algorithms from systems like @UsePolis. But the prize is worth it: an internet that rewards those building common ground instead of division.
The @G1000org delib. democracy school at @KlosterHeidberg in Eupen was inspiring! How do we scale deliberation? Don't miss @colinmegill of @UsePolis at our '22 #Arendt Conference #Rage and #Reason this week! #registration" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hac.bard.edu/rage-and-reaso…
