My take on the Twitter news in tomorrow's @FT : the problem isn't Musk himself, it's the idea of Musk.

[MINT Lab @MINTresearchlab]

And here are the mechanisms of counterpower: deliberative mini-publics, rights and standards, certification, professionalisation, tech tribunals, collective enforcement, and republican antitrust.

[MINT Lab @MINTresearchlab]

Great to be back @Science_Academy with @jamiesusskind launching the MINT lab. @hmi_anu @anu_philosophy

Jamie’s four principles of digital republicanism: preservation of basic institutions, reduction of domination, democratic sovereignty, and parsimony—minimise state intrusion.

With thanks to the Australian Academy of Science and the Machine Learning and Normative Theory Lab (@MINTresearchlab) being formally launched today by the great @sethlazar
