The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Alexis Ohanian no published score: only 3 usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ · coarse estimate ≈4.0/5 from 3 raw tape exchanges record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Yeah, what's the, uh, what, what's, what's the update on that front?

A I mean, we're, we're knocking on the door. We might be able to get in the playoffs here. Um, it's gonna be, it's a little tough, a little tough right now, but I'm hoping, I'm hoping we get in there, but that, that was probably one of my favorite, like, I was like March of 19 when I rage tweeted about how undervalued women's professional sports was and in, in proper Twitter fashion, most people said I was an idiot. No one cared about women's sports, but that, that obviously has done pretty well. And, uh, and yeah, thank him for being an angel city supporter. I've got a couple extra spots in the suite. If you've got, there's a couple of listeners who want, uh, we'll make it happen. You have to figure out a way to give it away here for the last home match of the season, but I'll gladly.

Q come from, what you're, what excites you when you see a pitch? Uh, cause I imagine you're not getting, maybe you are, but I imagine you're not getting excited about like, yeah, we're going up against open AI, you know, we're, we're gonna do everything that they're doing, but better, and it's like, that ship has sailed, so, so where are the ships that are leaving the port right now?

A Um, it feels like, okay, I'd say the companies, there was this existential crisis probably two years ago, where some of these 21 and 22 vintage companies that we had seeded were like, oh shit, like the world has changed. And, and a lot of the, I think the, the smartest ones, frankly, pivoted hard to decide, like, how do we sell picks and shovels? How do we find ways to just get involved in this? And, and we've seen a couple, they won't even let me talk about them because their revenue is going so well. They're like, don't tell people about it, but there's a, there, there, there's a type of company that is selling to all those foundation models. It's basically like throw money at this problem. We don't need to be expert at it. We just need X. Maybe we need training data. Maybe we need whatever.

Q Yeah. Do you think that X, you know, killing links, uh, you know, We all kind of understand that it, that it probably makes sense for X as a business, right? But it's disappointing as a user. Is that part of what's creating an opportunity for dig, uh, to come back and, and potentially thrive?

A It's, you know, I had not thought of that. It is so annoying that we all have to put it in the second tweet, but, but to your point, it does make sense. Um, from their standpoint, look at, at the end of the day, if you build a community platform well enough, I'd imagine, you know, at least a majority, more than half of the content that will be talked about will be stuff from the community, right? At Reddit, there were self posts, and that was just an invention by some random Redditor who guessed how to sort of hack and make self-referential links. But, but I do think there is an opening as you, as you mentioned it. Yeah. There, there is an opening for like more traditional, just link sharing. Like here is some cool thing on the internet. Go, go take a look. And you know what, actually, as I'm thinking about it live, the other wild trend, you've seen this guy levels who's building, who's code vibing the flight simulator.
