@dbinkowski Hey. Hope everything is well. Sent you a note in gmail.
@dbinkowski ping me when you're around. I'd like to pick your brain on something.
@pluralistic On the subject of Sci-fi author's ability to predict the future:
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ - The Bulwark

George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

The Bulwark
Tesla isn't special. The cars are actually not good but his image floats that valuation way above any actual realistic number.
One of the bigger problems for Elon is that ultimately he's a grifter and his biggest product is the perception he sells himself. This has punctured that and has really forced him to go all in to salvage it.
Making twitter less cool while actively paywalling the engagement that made it attractive to content creators effectively kills what made it valuable.
The clock is counting down until the volume is elsewhere but it's accelerating.
The unique value of twitter was cool people creating unique and good content that you couldn't get elsewhere and a large reason they did did that is that you could get over and draw eyeballs organically and use those eyeballs to promote/monetize what they were doing.
Effectively, Elon's making posting on twitter not worth the effort by blocking monetization while setting up mechanisms for large media companies to stamp out small creators.
Giving that World Cup final 7.5 stars.
