Sorry to reply to my own thread but here's something that actually might change this equation: AI.
How can AI help create the social networking site we actually want to see? Language models to filter out hateful content? Boost content we want to see? Generate content we want?
Google's search engine initially worked because it was piggy backing off of our focus on quality content by having multiple links to content. There might be an argument to make that Google came at a time when the hardware to do "whole internet" analysis became affordable.
Twitter is a kind of "web2" site that piggy backed off of the ubiquity of the cell phone (in my opinion, if other people have differing opinions on Twitters success, I would love to hear it).
Now we have (potentially some rudimentary) AI, like language models or stable diffusion. How can we leverage these to drive engagement and add actual value to the user base? What's the next generation of AI models that can be used for this purpose?
