listening to @robertwrighter and glenn loury
bob asks about whether it would be helpful to make algorithms public, transparent
fyi this is massively infeasible for a bunch of boring technical reasons
-
-
a second reason is that this leads inevitably to bureaucrats who also have no idea what an algorithm is demanding that tech firms use this or that algorithm to attain whatever end the government is demanding at any point in time
-
This would also allow any nation-state bureaucrats to tailor Twitter to their own aims in a very alarming manner.
