The best classroom upgrade might be less tech #TEDTalks

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The…

“How much political influence does Elon Musk have?” – Better yet, how much political influence does Michael Bloomberg have?

“How much political influence does Elon Musk have?” What about how much political influence does most of the billionaires in the US (Mike Bloomberg, Bill Gates, MacKenzie Scott, Vinod Khosla, Melinda Gates, Reid Hoffman, and most others) and most CEOs of corporate world in the Western world supporting Kamala have? What about the political influence of all the celebrities (most celebrities in the world) supporting Kamala Harris? You seem obsessed with one billionaire supporting Trump and leaving aside the majority of billionaires, elites, celebrities, academics, journalists, and so on supporting Kamala Harris.
Shouldn’t you be concerned about the political influence of all these groups supporting Kamala rather than one billionaire that has always voted Democrat, but just decided to vote a Republican president for the first time? Aren’t you bothered by your obvious lack of objectivity and balance as journalists? Have you noticed that the media seems to be the least trusted civil society group in the US and you keep doing this? Please try to be more balanced and stop being partisan and acting as propaganda arms of the DNC. Thanks

My God! 3:00 she’s talking about “risks we can all feel”. We’re all feeling risks from Twitter? 3 min in and it’s already absolutely mind-bogglingly ignorant, somehow exactly what I would expect from a “trust and safety” department head.. I always try to understand the rationale of these people who advocate for this censorship, but this is not helping their case at all, and shows how completely ridiculous this is. Where is the data, the facts, people actually getting harmed from these platforms? I have not seen any evidence that people are getting harmed with the exception of feelings being harmed. But this kind of nonsense harms my feelings, it drives me insane! But I am glad it’s out there so I can combat it with a rational discussion, or at least an attempt at one.

This world view that “We” should be allowed to police “them” is so f*cked. They don’t even realize how elitist this is.

X Is in its infancy. It will mature as a platform in all regards but going forward it will probably be the wild West of the Internet. It will probably eventually become decentralized.
