As someone who lives in China, I can fully substantiate this claim. That said, no one here uses “TikTok” (抖音) anymore. All social media is now on RedNote (小红许). Still, the algorithm is operated with the very same focus.

Thanks for this Lyn, the Oslo Freedom Forum is always something yearly that I'll listen to thoroughly!

Babe wake up, I just just found a video of Lyn Alden and Jack Dorsey talking about open source and decentralized web 🙌

Bounded Free Will.. I believe free will exists on a spectrum. For instance, I can decide whether or not to raise my hand 9, 10, or 11 times, but eventually, the body faces physical limitations. Try raising your hands 1,000 times and tell me how it goes! I guess that’s also true for the amount of i...

Great chat. Thanks.

Thanks, great talk!

Came back here to get away from the doom loop, Hoping Nostr brings with it a bit more positivity. As a non techy person I'm not really sure how the algo's work or if they exist here. I wanted Nostr to work for me a year or so ago but felt a bit lost in it Any suggestions on best way to get roll...

The scary part isn't that algos replace free will. It's that most people don't notice because the replacement feels like convenience. Same way fiat felt like progress until you realized your savings were melting. Centralized recommendation = Cantillon effect for attention.

SHUT UP LYN "A little while ago, nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7sreqct gave a great fireside on this topic.

Centralized algos are the ultimate low time preference attack. They optimize for your next click, not your next decade. Open protocols at least give you a fighting chance to choose your own signal.
