This is an example of the magical 10% syndrome. So often - without quoting sources or calculations - 10% is cited as a statistic : for human extinction, many activities for generating CO2, et al

Too bad the article uses the trendy part of Silicon Valley as if THAT is coding. Media not understanding the behemoth applications that power business organizations everyday. Who cares about a little note taking app or a cute where are you signed on subroutine. Talk to developers at SAP, et al

Great article. I love scientists

This is easily remedied. I’m so tired about people with platforms moaning about the algorithm and the feed. Each social media tool has a manner of use that shows you just who you are following with the odd ad at most

Unfortunately asbestos is an activist driven bogeyman. It is dangerous when the wrong type is used or handled improperly without risk mitigation procedures. Corey would be better off with a better metaphor.

Brilliant article that adds the requisite third dimension to a normally two dimensional narrative

But is this not a case perhaps of say one thing, do another

It was scary then. It is scary now. We still haven’t learned

But he works at Meta so he has to bow his head in shame over their corporate practices if he had any morals

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Indeed. But the key scientist involved sounds too agenda driven for my liking

020

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

Which they define VERY liberally. Such as invention of electricity Not sure “just” needs inclusion.

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

How is this guy - or anyone like him from purely an information POV - thought of as intelligent if they can’t friggin’ check the facts. Is he this careless with his research?

000

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Including evidently Mr Mollick who is touting them hard today

000

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

I mostly agree but you seem to have missed out that most social platform scrolling is visual / aural not textual. This creates more passivity except the odd thumb flick up

000

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

But meanwhile Cheerleader Mollick: “smart outside observers of the AI industry who do not gain from hype, like Kevin Roose (below) & Ezra Klein I think ignoring the possibility they are right is a mistake” They don’t gain from hype. Hmmm

Thanks for the takedown of Shaq, Charles, Ernie & Kenny. I have loved the NBA since 1968 & they are horrible. They talk over each other like the highly paid buffoons they are. Shaq is in the top 5 players ever to not reach his potential. He was never in great shape & his fundamentals were poor

In an era where the real truth can so easily be discovered why do some many high profile people make gigantic mistakes? Why do normies keep believing them?

000

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Same about entrepreneurs. We glorify the few high profile oddballs who have amazing success and nit the tens of thousands who are spectacularly unsuccessful and disappear without a trace

000

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Just like anyone can own and badly run a basketball team. All they need is $3+ billion dollars, a massive ego and a predilection for meddling in on court issues which you know nothing about

000

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

But in the meantime this pertinent observation of Mollick’s emphasizes the artificial part of the intelligence

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 11/01/2025

This is a Following vs For You / look at Trending issue not necessarily inherent platform differences. Neither using good social platform tactics : only follow the number of people you can digest daily. I learned many critical issues about the California fires on X. Here, this kind of whine

Exactly! Say that directly rather than be obliquely snide. Reason number 23 why I prefer X

Transparency and honesty in intent or communication is always preferred by recipients

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

So true. The scientists I follow are smug and self congratulatory. Boring is the operative word!

The False Triumphalism of BlueSky. The smugness is undeserved

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

Interesting to you researching partisanship. Appalling that it is so low after 150 years of evidence. No partisan “team” is immune to appropriate scientific scorn. Undeserved smug victory for the “left”. I would propose a variable based on true scientific belief would gave a tighter relationship

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

63% is also scary to me. I wonder about whether this is just American phenomenon. I hope it is.

Completely agree. In all the warm and complete praise about BlueSky people are still making the same fundamental mistake: following more people than the possibly keep up with therefore bringing some rationing method into play

dcrouch.bsky.social @dcrouch.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Once again enjoy the beauty of BlueSky where nothing goes wrong and everything is perfect and smart and rational

This link - when compared with the similar one on X - demonstrates a much milder annoyance: the constant tweaking of headline titles for clicks

I write about becoming & being an entrepreneur, especially in the consulting , IT & creative services space. My organizing metaphor is that it is an adventure that can be crafted to fit your needs. This article covers why you might want to embark on this adventure. open.substack.com/pub/truprene...
