What's going on here is that unrelated libertarian principles are being recoded as issues of free speech. All of sudden preventing algorithmic harm becomes leftist censorship, and the culture war is used as a bulwark against government regulation of discriminatory technologies.
"Algorithmic decisions about parole, loan approvals, interest rates, program admissions, insurance premiums, security clearance, etc. that depend on race and ethnicity? That's not discrimination, it's *speech*."
And he's funding Post, which in itself is enough for me to stay clear of that platform.
@patrickgillam @Mikal @ct_bergstrom Thank you sharing. I just listened to it.
(Feel free to call me Adam.)
I love the mission of Post but I am going to need to see more details on the extent of this investment, moderation and governance.
Andreessen has nodded to “Pravda-like” designs in the past (as has Musk) that would artificially favor their viewpoints, and only their viewpoints.
I cannot invest in that without far more clarity.
My only post over there, since learning this, tackles the issue head-on.
