@drgroftehauge @Riedl Works for that too.

On another note, it appears the response the post is about has been fixed for when the pronoun is 'he.' ChatGPT correctly points out the ambiguity.

For years I’ve felt there needs to be an accessible primer on social media recommendation algorithms. So I used my sabbatical to write one! We can level up normative/policy debates about social media if the tech is better understood.

In the essay I also discuss the flaws of engagement optimization and the optimization mindset in general. I have strong opinions on this and I don’t mince words. I’ve clearly separated the normative analysis from the expository parts.

@Namnezia @ct_bergstrom I think the issue is more that it conveys a lot of insincerity and that they couldnt care much. Going against the entire point of making these statements.

More importantly, these are people trained in communications and easily couldve given someone else the task if they were grieving, etc.
