Perhaps we have fundamentally different views. To me, it seems that we should be on the side of doing what is best for humanity. Companies whos products are no longer necessary? Hollywoods products haven't lost any value -- they'r

I disagree wholeheartedly. If your world was flipped upside down -- say we had AI built tomorrow that could code. Would you deserve to survive? I would say it would depend. If you're open to change and new opportunities, then yes, you

Extracting rent from the status quo? Music industry revenue last year = $16B Banking inudstry revenue = $600B+ Entertainment makes money. That is not a bad thing.

We need to understand the implications more holistically. We need people thinking hard about how a future economy would function with large amounts of automation. People need to be happy. Unemployment doesn't generate happiness!

Through iteration and the test of time, the media industry has a way of doing things that contains value. I think it's hard to argue against that, but welcome it if you can. We all control the future. We are the future.

The audience ^_^ -- haha. I targeted the post towards the tech industry. I should probably make that more clear.

Interesting take -- I guess I was trying to generalize a tad too much :] Thanks for the great info.

I agree. It doesn't have to be everyone. It doesn't even have to be in the thousands. As long as the right people for a given situation are willing to go out and help, I think that is enough. 10 people can build a rocket engine,

I am not advocating for a suppression of technology. I am advocating for belevolent empathy towards those technology affects. I am advocating for action that helps people change with the tide, not prevent it.

Really? Think about all of the good the industries have brought to the world and all of the good they still can bring! Film and music are driving forces for society. We need them. Their own ignorance and inability towards copyright form suc

I'm sorry you cannot understand this very real issue -- maybe it's because you're biased? People follow Dan Bernstein because he already has a large following in a well recognized field, and even so, 37% of his followers are

Can you go into more detail? What kind of numbers are we talking about? My goal here isn't to hurt Twitter, so by limiting any sort of automtation and choosing selectively, I think this is a win for them. Not to mention I want to avoid

Nope -- I should make that more clear. Followr will run on 30 minute intervals when your browser is open.

Awesome feedback -- this is definitely the current problem with the v1. It needs to be more transparent about exactly what it's doing. I'll be making these changes within the next day or two. Thanks again.

I can see that. What about the assertion that you're not getting as much utility out of Twitter as you could be? For me, Twitter's true power doesn't lie in purely consumption -- it lies in decentralized idenitity + boundless

Exactly. It runs through your native logged in Twitter webpage. Agree on the customization. I will glady allow a throttle on tweets, but don't want people to set to 200 tweets every hour for obvious reasons. I mention intelligent tweet

Already getting great feedback -- thanks guys! I'll be changing the "Save" button in the options to something more like "Save and run", with a message that states the tool will begin automatically favoriting tweets.
