      ShriramKrishnamurthi Retweeted Kent Beck

      This statement was plausible in 2013. How does one make it with a straight face in 2020?https://twitter.com/KentBeck/status/1267493453878837253 …

      I've seen people trashing Mark Zuckerberg as evil and greedy. A simpler story works for me. He is profoundly unprepared for the power he wields. I'm not sure who *would* be prepared. At this critical juncture he is making mistakes with worldwide consequences.

      Asking yourself this question might make the situation clearer: what would you do if you were the CEO of Facebook?

          In all seriousness, I wouldn't be. Why? Because the idea of something that large and dominant existing is a Bad Idea. Where is the line? I don't know, actually. I really don't. But I know that Facebook and Amazon (just as examples) are on the other side of it.

          @kentbeck I’m shocked that everyone seems to want FB/Tw to arbit truth and censor.

          Cram as many ads in as I could to juice revenues then sell all my stock and resign before users begin their mass exodus. Use proceeds to do something more interesting and less harmful.

          At this point it feels like asking what would you do if you were Oppenheimer?

          Score content and sources. Tag everything with confidence scores for accuracy, consistency, potentiality as to incite, hate, racism, violence, etc. Scores will be shown with all content. The Blue Check is the simplest form of that. Auto-remove content at published threasholds.

          This isn't anything their AI teams hasn't thought of already. The problem is: who does the tagging? Who designs the algorithm behind the score? Math doesn't magically make bias disappear from data and design.
