Twitter is a hot mess.

The fact OpenAI signed up 130 million new users in 1 month is all the proof you need that Elon has fumbled some things here.

Jack is right. Protocols > Apps

The more water passes under the bridge the more sure I am that jack is right. And anyone who says that much was obvious this time last year, I don’t really believe. I’m not sure Jack was even certain 12 months ago.

But the more water under the bridge, the more I realise.

Yes, society needs a social protocol for cyberspace. We kinda know how to make a low fidelity version of that already (here we are!).

Some the big problems of recent years are borne from the fact that the population now has access to vastly more information. Seems like a win, but much of this information is misinformation.

From 9/11 to COVID was the era of propaganda and misinformation and we are still struggling with it. But I feel like the clouds are starting to part a little. Cracks are showing, the stakes are rising and at some point you have to organise your society in reality.

Maybe one day we can have a truly free society that is resilient to capture, coercion and control.
