    You may remember we did a 10,000 person experiment testing AI-powered healthier feed algorithms. Well, now we’ve built it as a product for BlueSky/ATProto (because X doesn't support 3rd party algos). We are currently recruiting pre-release users to test it out and give us

    I wish critical AI research had more of the "immersion" flavor (joining gangs to study how they work). I'd trust an anthropologist who spent a year in SF token-maxxing way more than someone who refuses to use AI and talks about the one time they used GPT 3.5.

    Optimizing for the long term is usually better for both people and products. But it's challenging to do, because short-term feedback is far more plentiful. We put more than two dozen industry experts in a room and collected their wisdom, then documented it with public sources.
