IMHO, Twitter has so much network effect that it kept frozen in time lacking features. It's one of the best study case on MVPs as Craigslist, Reddit, Slashdot, 4Chan...
Musk just showed us how a "not anti-capitalism" product management, from top down, could make Twitter catch up and keep up on the Zeitgeist of Internet User Experience.
Twitter and part of the public discourse was saved, Musk companies can benefit a lot from the same leadership and governance model spearheaded by Google on the 'Alphabet move'.
It's sad that people just want to buy the media buzz and witch-hunting because 'it is too much power in one person's hands'. I don't see this amount of critical thinking about Sergey and Larry, Besos or Zuckerberg.
The biggest complaint I've seen hasn't been that it's too much power in one person's hands, it's that he's just been fucking around with the service and annoying people.
This copyright "issues" are against the true nature of innovation.
By the means of Artificial INTELIGENCE, we must to accept a mind or intelligence is free to perceive external elements and use every stimulus to execute its own creative process.
The world is a perpetual iteration cycle amongst human beings. Good artists borrow, great artists steal.
Yeah! You got what I meant... We have the opportunity to make a big leap by exploring a new Era of creativity provided these technological advances.
It's the same cynical people questioning if "machines going to replace people" didn't figure out that the machines need to build themselves first.
When machines build themselves (with no humans since conception), let's see how the "patent ideas" world wouldn't fall apart.
Until then, We can get our piece of Cake by augmenting our human creative process.
Sorry but I'm not the daydreamer here. I can't live under the false premise that Intelectual Property is something that would control the input(training, learning, etc.) for all the A.I. (created or to-be-created).
1) If the journey have enough content to sustain a huge grinding time, it's ok.
2) If you can make it expensive without making mandatory (to buy), it's ok.
3) If you build a legit character buying or farming and it can be evaluated at 100k USD, it's pretty awesome! (Check MIR 4 Top Characters Price)
But if you play a blizzard game, with no NFT (or Open marketplace) and being treated as criminal if you sell the product of your farming/grinding time, it's pretty fucked up.
Build a community goes beyond "rally people around something they are passionate about".
1 - Not all people who have same preferences or like the same things are willing to discuss or share ideas about that.
2 - I like to think people gathering around some topic is a secondary move, the primary thing that make people gather around is 'VALUES' and 'Principles'.
3 - We like to discuss ideas with people who we value, we like to talk about what we like with friends, not strangers, why? Because we know that we share values, principles and a cosmovision with our friends, family, etc.
So if you want to build a community, build around 'principle and values' and from this common ground you can set a main topic to be addressed by everyone.
Not always will be a single topic, but a niche, like the hacker news, our discussed niche is "hacking things", our values? Defy the status-quo, think out of the box, catch the black swan, see through the non-obvious, seek for excellence, etc.
It wouldn't be so successful try to discuss how to "hack things" with a bunch of douchebags ;D
Edit1: Also I saw people talking about the moderation drama but if you have done the principles, values, rules... you are going to have your own community policing who doesn't reach the cultural/behavioral fit.
Rules must be the very first thing to avoid a 'broken window' culture.
Interesting perspective. Do you think those “values” and “principles” should be explicitly stated somewhere, or should they emerge from the early users and the dialogue happening around a topic?
I believe We need to establish as soon as possible the main values and principles addressing what can kill the community as you are envisioning.
Furtherly, You can be open to discuss and aggregate more and more if necessary...
Rules can be more specific and based on your values and principles, the rules are the way you make the principles and values be followed/respected. Rules can change and adapt towards the behaviors but, on the other hand, I think principles and values shape behaviors, indeed.
as a two-sided marketplace, etsy got a wrong balance between vendors and buyers... Last time I did read they speaking about making a lot of money offering vendors' services... They abandoned the crowdsource, the crowd abandoned them..
