3) it’s not worth having certain kinds of debates with trolls, especially in spaces they are well-versed in (thinking of Shapiro in those phony debate setups, or Musk on X) - however they’re only comfy in particular mediums and are vulnerable elsewhere (Musk in live settings, etc…)

2) he is unpredictable. Vance/Thiel have an endgame. Musk is a reactive dog who will jump to some other avenue if he senses an opportunistic upside to his financial goals. That means patience is probably more key with Musk than with others, as he has a higher likelier to self-implode or abandon

I think it helps me in a couple ways:
1) modulate my own emotional bandwidth. He will say stupid shit. But outrage over that will always find some kind of dumb run around. Might as well save the outrage for the dumb shit he DOES (which is numerous)

I think it’s useful only in the sense that it’s helpful to know that we are not dealing with an ideologue or someone with a comprehensive world view such as Vance or Thiel. We’re essentially talking about someone from 4chan with the highest risk tolerance possible

Especially as it’s clear that they are putting their thumbs on the scales of these algorithms in NUMEROUS ways to enrich themselves - not just how they are shaping the news but also how they withhold revenue from actual publishers while denying the responsibility of publishing for themselves

Coming off the absolute top rope. I love it. And can’t agree more - the “discourse” feels so disconnected from actual day to day reality.
Weirdly lately I’ve been more encouraged by Reddit than anything else cause on there ppl are trying to figure out actual solutions to others’ problems

Fed up with this not only in these settings, but also in slack convos and docs. Like jfc of course it occurred to me to ask Claude, but I also assumed it'd be unusable slop so I didn't

The amount of blogs, websites, and articles I used to read in between opto-ing campaigns or flicking between that and an excel sheet is crazy.
But why not just watch a YouTube video or straight up read a book when I have 20 min between meetings?

Yeah - this was my first guess, and maybe a bit of an acquihire/get their client list situation too, but again - don’t totally see it?

I don’t totally understand this move.
Audigent has big curation capabilities, but their Hadron ID has always seemed like the latest nothingburger of cookieless ID solutions, and Experian has always had more data than they knew what to do with
Happy for someone to explain to me the upside here

Easier to articulate populism with us vs them vibes than it is to articulate a compromise-driven rising tide that lifts all boats as that dynamic is rarely tangibly felt in most ppl’s lives

What’s crazy is that all of the DEI initiatives came with studies on how diverse workplaces were more effective and profitable and corporations are still like, “nah I’m good”
