Hey Wingnuts... Y'think you know "The West Wing"? This book is loaded with stuff you didn't know & hilarious stories from so many of the major cast members. (I have the AudioBook below. So worth it.)

Bill Gates: What's Next EP 2 watched. It's about misinformation, social media and algorithms.

Some quotes:

"You can just say to algorithms, yeah give me more of that. I keep scrolling, because I won't be manipulated."

"I am a believer of more decentralized content moderation where users have more control rather than Zuckerberg or others decide these are the policies and then apply them to 2 billion people."

"If I could say 'I want to see content from both sides, don't label me as left', or 'I don't want to see this, I want to see that', I wish I could play around with it, that would be fun."

Well... The obliviousness continues. There is the Fediverse, but no open and healthy way of consuming the Internet is ever even considered, even when it's slightly discussed. Why are everyone so locked in to the commercial social medias if they don't like how it operates? Money and fame I guess.

It's like they are watching the house burn from a fire truck ready to put out the flames. Makes no sense.

Whereas ideas, techniques, and methods that came before, like for example eXtreme Programming’s collaborative tech practices, or ThoughtWorks Inception, have succeded in several cases and led to several evolutions adopted in some of the most innovative, successful, digital companies. These do not come with certifications, “Agile” badges, or detrimental commercial exploitations.

👉Some pioneers monetised their expertise (nothing wrong with that) focusing on personal branding over participating and contributing to the wider community.

All this paved the way creating a very damaging snowball effect. Solutions grown in such a context are typically made-up solutions without enough proof of success that passed independent third parties’ scrutiny. ...continue

👉The economic exploitation of certifications/badges where learning is an afterthought, has become detrimental What was intended to be a 1st baby step in the learning journey became a fake declaration of mastery.
