"The surest way to work up a crusade in favour of some good cause is to promise people that they will have a chance of maltreating someone... To be able to destroy with a good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behaviour 'righteous indignation' - this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats."

Isn't the point that you can choose a chronological feed? A chronological feed doesn't have algorithmic sorting on anything other than date order.

L2s like ark and spark that use trustless swaps onto the lightning network will do the job. They won't need a custodial solution. Also, they'll probably just use paypal.

Good info! Thanks Ben. Pretty much what I expected from looking at the hype and knowing what these llms are like at the moment. It's easy to get caught up in the AI hype atm. It's very good but not as *BREAKING* as the influencers and stock price shillers would have people believe.

"It's not helpful to people. It's not helpful to the industry. It's not helpful to society. It's not helpful to the governments..." [H]e cited concerns about "regulatory capture," arguing that no company should approach governments to request more regulation. "Their intentions are clearly deeply conflicted, and their intentions are clearly not completely in the best interest of society," he said. "I mean, they're obviously CEOs, they're obviously companies, and obviously they're advocating for themselves..."
"When 90% of the messaging is all around the end of the world and the pessimism, and I think we're scaring people from making the investments in AI that makes it safer, more functional, more productive, and more useful to society," he said.

Running an experiment.
Making devices harder to access could be a good thing. This means the phone is still as useful but can no longer slip into a pocket and always be present. It requires a determined effort to carry around or go and get from wherever it has been left in order to do something.
Only on week 1 but already using the device less.
