Waiting for the D train and saw an ad for an Amazon show I’d never heard of and a few clicks later got to this on Wikipedia: “They now live in Los Angeles with their daughter and squirrel.” — PolitiTweet.org

Yes AI will put a lot of people out of work but in the meantime maybe more people will get jobs explaining why we shouldn’t fear AI. https://t.co/9CscfC8kVz — PolitiTweet.org

Other big differences: *Facebook/IG badges aren’t a culture war flashpoint *CEO isn’t demonizing existing badge holders *CEO runs business where (some) creators make money and might have business reason to pay for more services. — PolitiTweet.org

@goldman Ps instagram has this cool feature where you submit a scan of your face so it can unlock your account and… that doesn’t work either. https://t.co/fgzQWjI9kJ — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@goldman Yes and that’s when you intentionally switch phones - not when you drive to the midtown Apple Store at midnight to replace your destroyed phone the day before you get on a plane. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Which, btw, is why I still can’t get back into Instagram after replacing my phone two weeks ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

This is where current security strategies go well past normals + even prosumers and end up in total fantasy. Any system that thinks you will write down backup codes and save them somewhere other than your phone exists only in pretendistan. — PolitiTweet.org

Good preview of the Neal Mohan era at YouTube by YouTube pro @mhbergen. TLDR: A lot like the Susan Wojcicki era. https://t.co/3JPr6qt9HQ — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Neal Mohan, her successor, spent years with her building up Google’s display ad biz (now the subject of a federal antitrust suit), and then was her top exec at YouTube. Here’s a 2022 chat I had with him about building up Shorts, YouTube’s TikTok clone: https://t.co/1RNcNprcmI — PolitiTweet.org

I talked to Wojcicki about the challenges of running a giant operation fueled by users in a 2019 Code Confernce interview: https://t.co/UJiD3NR0hd — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Wojcicki spent years building YouTube’s relationship with advertisers, and built it into a $29 billion operation. She also contended with its many critics. Some argued that YouTube unfairly censors video-makers; others say the site doesn’t do enough to police harmful content. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Wojcicki, who has been at Google for 25 years - she rented her garage to its cofounders - says she’s leaving to focus on “family, health and personal projects.” She is replaced by Neal Mohan, who has worked with her at Google for years and has been her #2 at YouTube since 2015. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKThomp Not a rec but a q: As a late coldwar kid who grew up on NORAD and War Games and the concept that of course we had the ability to track things moving towards the us from the moment they launched - how does a slow-moving object suddenly manifest over Northern Michigan? — PolitiTweet.org

Again, AMC is a difficult sale candidate: sub-scale; doesn’t own some of its best-known shows; business is dependent on declining pay tv biz many strategic buyers don’t want. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

Great story with a bonus hilarious deadpan euphemism: “Associates and former AMC employees describe Mr. Dolan as an exacting and unpredictable manager.” — PolitiTweet.org
