Network pressure.
This damages establishment candidates and independents quite a bit.

Candidates backed by the #resistance or the #insurgency don't need advertising....
If Facebook follows, this means that traditional campaigns are on the way out. If you aren't already widely supported by a weaponized social network, you don't have a chance.

Globalization and problem solving:

'when the intended distinction between observer and observed begins to disappear, the uncertainty values hide or mask phenomena behavior'
'Under these circumstances, the uncertainty values represent the inability to determine the character or nature (consistency) of a system within itself.'
And it is getting worse:

'entropy must increase in any closed system or, for that matter, in any system that cannot communicate in an ordered fashion with other systems or environments external to itself.'

Proposal for @Twitter and @elonmusk on #dataownership

Be the repository for claiming ownership of data and information used in machine learning and getting paid for it.
@Twitter @elonmusk Post originals. Pictures. Videos. Text. Documents. Art. + metadata

Twitter negotiates with everyone using that data in ML/AI (whether they got it from there or not -- will use Twitter’s data to check other repositories).

Twitter pays people royalties on their data.
@Twitter @elonmusk Posting original documents/pics etc., turns Twitter into a reference source.

An improved search of this reference data would make Twitter even more useful.

Getting paid for data use is a feedback loop that increases usage.

Twitter as a platform for social AIs

Twitter is the best fuel (range of ideas + interaction) for training and improving social AIs in the world.

Nothing else comes close.
These social AIs will be immensely valuable.

Share the revenue generated with users. Provide an enhanced share with users who pay subscriptions (they are funding development).

Eventually, everyone gets paid.
Early examples of social AIs: GPT-4, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, etc.

"contributed to the deaths of more than 450,000 people over the past two decades."

"McKinsey’s extensive work with Purdue included advising it to focus on selling lucrative high-dose pills (and) “defend it against strict treatment” by the Food and Drug Administration."
Reminder: The first epidemic of the Century was manufactured.
"In the past, McKinsey avoided legal liability for high-profile failures of some clients, including the energy company Enron."

"the firm “suggested sales ‘drivers’ based on the idea that opioids reduce stress and make patients more optimistic and less isolated.”

This was apparent back in February.
Yet, this is apparently just dawning on the White House (and across Europe).

Worse, nobody in the establishment seems to understand the role of networks in destabilizing and escalating this situation. Likely because they were active participants in this network.
