- case study of getting someone to watch a video
- super bad but maybe not coercion - pinning them down clockwork orange style
- obvious coercion - paying them to watch it
- subtle coercion - "what, you haven't seen X?!" - exploiting scarcity of social
- not coercion - "oh this video relates to this thing you mentioned, I can send you a link"
- Jared Lucas > yeah, algorithms on social media
- Daniel Schmachtenberger was saying that one thing to optimize for might be "the inverse of addiction"
- in order for a system to be unexploitable, attempts to exploit it must inevitably wind up serving it
- Paul Millerd (@p_millerd) wants to help with barn-raising
- > helping people launch stuff is a very negative effort thing for me. perhaps we test one? I can announce to my community maybe in december or jan. We do it as a sort of open-sourced thing. People join and then we ask some of our friends to join and ten split off into different groups of projects
running it does seem a little more complicate than the ideal vision of it
but perhaps we just brainstorm the minimum viable way of doing it
- related to omnitext
- useful thing to check out re web3 + wordpress
