@elonmusk An alternative approach:

1. Find as many data points with a statistical correlation to scrapers as possible.
2. Combine them all using Bayes to get a single "odds of being a scraper" output.
3. Progressively lower the rate limit based on the odds.

Most users won't even notice.

@skstock But you could "be a founding Engineer at Meta Toronto!" 😅 From the 7 emails they sent me. Getting pretty thirsty over there.

integrity is more important than success

I dig the web3 vision, but we're never tokenizing like buttons if they cost $30 in gas to click.

@elitasson Have you seen Carta? https://t.co/9XLucpVWQw

[Aron Jones @defrex]

So don't get too distracted by the pump-and-dump shenanigans, or you may miss the opportunity to break the hegemony and see the dawn of a new age.

While still immature, I believe web3 may represent another phase-shift in this trend.

[Aron Jones @defrex]

Web3 also unlocks new levels of permissionless innovation, further compounding the overall trend.

[Aron Jones @defrex]

The last few hundred years can be viewed as a transition from the rule of persons, to the rule of systems. Democracy and capitalism are canonical examples.

This trend continues to steepen as we move from policies to algorithms as the dominant encoding.

@elitasson Build apps, not architectures

[Aron Jones @defrex]

Netflix made a baking and engineering competition show and I feel like the algorithm sees me

@acroll Very interesting. I'll keep em peeled for more!

@Sara_Imari Who are your favorite idea-propagators?

[Aron Jones @defrex]

@Sara_Imari Models based on information theory and equilibrium-seeking seem pretty promising.

[Aron Jones @defrex]

@vickiheart All this disequilibrium is hard work!

[Aron Jones @defrex]

Living organisms are equilibrium-resisting systems formed via evolutionary process. This is also true of corporations, for whom humans are like cells.

@AliDinani Sounds like a startup
