Two articles on the front page of today’s New Orleans Times-Picayune. One about a new memorial to the victims of the 1873 Colfax Massacre.

Now, you might say, we have TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc. Sure, we do. But those are filtered through their own bottleneck: an algorithm that sorts their content. And if you want to see what kind of culture emerges from an algorithmic feed, go look at a Facebook cooking video.

Twitter, pre-Musk, pre-all of this, meant that if you were young, inexperienced, from a marginalized background, or just a huge weirdo, those important people might see your stuff. And crucially, they would see your stuff BEFORE it was sanded down in that editorial bottleneck.

I keep waiting for someone else to make this point but it hasn’t happened yet. Or I haven’t seen it yet. Discovery on here sucks now. But there’s a very profound thing that Twitter provides creative industries that isn’t traffic. And when it’s gone, oh boy, are we gonna feel it…

This is quite the paper! It gave 25 AI agents motivations & memory, and put them in a simulated town. Not only did they engage in complex behavior (including throwing a Valentine’s Day party) but the actions were rated more human than humans roleplaying. https://t.co/G7oJW1S3na https://t.co/d7Gp4sXp4V

Imply vs. infer: Writers or speakers imply in the words they use. A listener or reader infers something from the words.
