We need a way to do algorithms which learn from user interactions. Ideally an open system, that users can choose where to give their interaction data and what their algorithms are optimized for. But we can't just put our heads in the sand and ignore their existence. All of the A/B studies where users were given chronological timelines show they'll switch their time to other apps / services that do provide an algorithmic timeline.

The question is how do we do it in an open, nostrway...

If we don't then we get a social network owned and run by Sam Altman... which honestly is terrifying. He'd make Elon and Mark seem like balanced stewards in comparison.
