🚨 NEW FULL EP: Nathan Mhyrvold is someone @aarthir and I have idolized for decades. Microsoft's first CTO, renowned chef with multiple books, paleontologist, worked with Stephen Hawking, the list is endless.

We had an absolute blast talking to him on this episode. From how to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

I would love a movement to remove politics from some of the institutions that we grew up with.

WIRED is chief among them ( that they have a politics section or a view on the elections is a sign of many a problem).

Also: Scientific American. MIT Tech Review. Nature.

A lot of folks think this is about @elonmusk but it truly isn’t. WIRED seems to have moved into a world where it maybe just hates the people it writes for.

The story that most made me think this way was this on Brandon Sanderson.

📺 NEW EP: Layoffs: questions from those impacted or worried may be the most requested topic we have gotten.

@aarthir & I compiled thoughts and got this ep out overnight. From exploring career options, networking, consulting, we tried to cover all.

aarthiandsriram.com/p/tech-layoffs…

🧵
Key takeaways (the ep goes into it in detail). Also everyone's life situation is different so may not apply to all - we tried to focus on folks in their 30s mostly who have been around in tech for a few years.

Agree with this piece.

One outcome of @elonmusk + Twitter Files should be social media companies telling users when their content distribution is manually/ algorithmically throttled.

A better outcome would be having alternative clients w/o throttling.

washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
We may or may not agree why someone is throttled or with the people doing it but there's very little arguments against being transparent to all parties about it.
The need for transparency -> assume your favorite social media company is run by a team of people who don’t like you and then make demands of them to be transparent with what happens to your account accordingly.

Will protect you regardless of who’s in charge.

PROPOSAL: Transparent content moderation:

A proposal for social media platforms to commit to transparency on all moderation and algorithmic decisions

sriramk.com/transparent-co…
In short: we have a trust deficit in how social media companies moderate content. I propose building on @VitalikButerin's "credible neutrality" to specifically make the below transparent.
1/ Publish account actions: All account takedowns are published with details on rules violated, agent performing the action (human, algorithm) and the source of the report ( automated scan, report from the platform, etc).

(details in post)

Several of the critiques of the $8 / verification are logically inconsistent.

“verification solves for impersonation, this will cause more”

1. using a CC/mobile checkout dramatically increases friction. And everyone caught impersonating will lose their money.
2. there are lots of people who should be verified ( and often impersonated) and aren’t. And vice versa.

The current path on any social network is opaque and easily gamed.

$8 gives a consistent path for anyone regardless of their level of notability ( which is subjective).
3. the current model also has severe spam issues ( check out any reply to @VitalikButerin or @elonmusk and you’ll see lots of hacked blue check accounts ).

$8 and giving everyone ✅ makes those attacks less valuable.
