Warpcast

imo one of the most underrated and overlooked warpcast features (unless the objective of critcism) that will pay of in dividends in years ahead and allow them to compete with traditional social giants when the time comes:

its machine learning algorithm

discoverability is key to a great distribution infrastructure

I was surprise to read

> machine learning algorithm

However, I agree discovery is, and always was, a big problem to solve as the medium of communication shifts. 

Just not sure how ML algos are the solution.

a strong ML algo is bare minimum to compete, not silver bullet.

tiktok won over the world with its ML algo, which made discovery (not following) the primary interface. users constantly discovering fresh content, creators getting engagement without any followers, etc.

now imagine that + open, programmable social

ok, yeah, that I see. i imagine you include blockchain activity under 'open'. I see self-selection becoming a prominent thing in certain areas but think ML assisted self-selection is definitely a big thing too.

eh, i feel this underestimates TT's volume of non-privacy related data (likes, comments, shares, watch time, search, AI text/video/sound analysis, hashtags, filters, etc) that trains its ML algo

granting access to camera, mic, contacts, ultimately is a consumer decision but does subtly influence content recs

scary effective ML algos to the caliber of tiktok sacrifice privacy such as allowing access to device camera, microphone, contacts, etc
