A deep dive into #WSocial with some fascinating findings: candid statements about their motives, a Greta Thunberg connection, potential AI plans (!!!)
Why write about it again? I still had so many questions after publishing my first article.
I spent 3 weeks watching every interview I could find and connecting the dots.
I hope you'll enjoy this piece:

My top 3 "favorite" (aka juicy) discoveries about #WSocial, which I discuss on my blog:
1) The co-founders picked #ATproto but only started using the network WEEKS after their Davos launch
2) The CEO said "we also want to keep European data in Europe to maybe train European AI models with our data because we also have amazing AI companies in Europe" 🤯
3) W Social user "homersimpson"

Wow superbe recherche !
Donc, en somme... C'est de la merde. Ou werde on pourrait dire.Je n'ai pas fait 1% de ta recherche. Mais en faisant le sign up, ça m'as beaucoup fâché que j'étais invité à utiliser GOOGLE pour la création du compte... Ils se vendent comme un produit / réseau européen indépendant... Et PAF, Google. J'ai fait un post pour me plaindre à ce sujet et je n'y suis plus jamais allé à nouveau.

"maybe train European AI models with our data"Feels like they're giving away the plan like they think we're James Bond tied to a table that we can't possibly escape...

@xinit their Davos launch video was so triggering because everyone was in red MAGA-like baseball hats and you had to stop the video to see the message was "make science great again"
