I put out some DnB music on friday. Would love to know what people think! https://t.co/cRUDfUubMn

A video of my talk from @EAAMO_ORG is up! It's probably the best way of getting a short summary my work with @glenweyl and @kaytwo on collective decision making.

#Crowdfunding algorithms often assume people act alone. But what if fairness depends on our connections? 🤝This paper explores a new approach called Connection-Oriented Quadratic Funding, which gives more weight to community ties and shared purpose - https://t.co/1pAz8a0UiM

I'll be presenting on my mechanism design work with @gitcoin at @EAAMO_ORG today! Livestream link:

Don't miss my first ever live debate with @curtis_yarvin, cited by @JDVance and @elonmusk as one of their primary intellectual influences, on whether the US should be ruled by a CEO dictator: https://t.co/LucLnu2npN

Huge thanks to @Shakaleikaumaka for recording this talk and being an overall great person!

[Joel Miller @CS_Synthesist]

Human creativity is unparalleled: that's the driver of my talk at the @protocollabs Impact Evaluator research retreat. I discuss pitfalls of cybernetic systems like IEs, how humanistic design can overcome them, and give a case study with Condorcet voting.
