I don't follow him super closely, but he has consistently non-impressed me.



I wonder how many of the people involved with Twitter are going to eventually come to terms with the fact that they've made the world a worse place to live. It's not an accident - their very model plays to some of the worst aspects of human nature, and makes it far easier to spread hate and lies rather than nuanced truth. I'm not sure that Trump would have ever been elected if Twitter didn't exist, not just because of how he was able to spread his message so effectively on it but also because of how it is so regularly used to spread all the messages that intersect with his message.

They don't care, none of these technolibertarian a$$holes do. They made their money and know they'll all be dead or the new overlords by the time things hit the fan for real. I've worked for enough to know they're some of the worst examples of clinical sociopathy you'll ever see.
