Critique of the 𝕏 algorithm is welcome.
There will be monthly updates of the latest algorithm to GitHub with release notes.
As reminder, you can always choose no algorithm via the Following tab.
Beware the empathy exploit.
Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow).
For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.
By far the most embarrassing thing about this is that the hedge fund guy was using the MOST CRINGE website on the entire Internet for milf sex 😬

The goal of the 𝕏 algorithm is simple: show each user the content they are most likely to find interesting, limited only by the laws within a given jurisdiction. No thumb on the scale.
Doesn’t mean we achieve the goal, but that is what I tell the team.
