Episode notes
Preventing Corruption
- Create a landscape of incentives that are ruinous for those who attempt to corrupt a system.
- This prevents an evolutionary arms race where corrupt actors seek undetectable loopholes.
Cost of Entry
- Free social media networks, with no cost of entry, allow for infinite evolutionary experimentation by bad actors.
- This lack of consequences leads to the proliferation of harmful behaviors.
Combating Inauthenticity
- Stigmatize inauthentic behavior and leverage user feedback.
- Implement up/down-regulation systems like Reddit's to control unhelpful or derivative content.
