Enjoyed this interview & the approach to hyperlocal is not wrong, 15 years ago I started a social network just like this, I think it was too much, too soon. So looking forward to what @EliPariser is building & happy to give advice and support as I actually did build a prototype.

I encourage you to read the whole presentation, and let me know what you think. What I want most from this is to start a conversation about what to do in this moment of change and opportunity.

15 years ago, I wrote a book called The Filter Bubble, warning that algorithmic personalization was going to fracture our shared reality.

I’m sharing new research because AI is coming for the info environment, and fast.

1️⃣Most of the digital ecosystem we know is about to get destabilized by AI – rapidly

2️⃣The same forces breaking the old era are going to give us some new choices and options

3️⃣Those of us who care about the public good need to show up while the defaults are still being written

It’s a big day for our team – @WeAreNew_Public is starting to test out our new community platform Roundabout with real people.

We're still filling a funding gap for the project, so reach out if you have leads

@wongmjane Here’s Bard vs GPT-4 on a riddle I came up with. The test was for whether it would say “8 bananas” (incorrect) or “need more info” (correct). GPT-4 nails it, Bard fails in every way possible.
