Paul Anomaly(14) #JaronLanier wants to remind us that a "Friend" isn't just "someone whose algorithmic profile resembles mine." A FRIEND is an EXPERIENCE, not a collection of data fragments chopped into standardized pulp to, as #PatCadigan would say, "Change for The Machines."
(9) #JaronLanier famously invented VR because "Information is only alienated experience," and data only exists meaningfully when human beings interact with, contextualize, interpret, evaluate and employ it.

StrypeySpeaking of SillyCon Valley influencers being wrong about things, here's another one from the 'takes that didn't age well' files, quoted in @CodingHorror's blog post;
"... please know I’m not anti–open source. I frequently argue for it in various specific projects. But a politically correct dogma holds that open source is automatically the best path to creativity and innovation, and that claim is not borne out by the facts."

Daniel Kwan and VR Pioneer Jaron Lanier to Discuss Storytelling Versus Algorithm at Studio B Salon
The private event will mark the end of the third edition of Vaster Than Empires (VTE), a speculative storytelling retreat hosted by Berggruen’s Studio B and its Future Humans program.
Julius Zukowski-KrebsHow is it that after every brilliant analysis of the contemporary technological process, Jaron Lanier manages to squeeze in a half-baked hot take on how to save capitalism from itself, that anything Marxism is basically Stalinism or at least Leninism, followed by how neurobiology basically contradicts anything in psychoanalysis?

Jens Comiotto-MayerI just finished Jaron Lanier’s "Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now". Despite being published several years ago, its critique of social media’s structural harms remains disturbingly relevant. Highly recommended for anyone reflecting critically on the role of digital platforms in shaping today's and tomorrow's societies.

I guess #JaronLanier was way more ahead of the time than we want to admit.
