Noam and Jen start by discussing the ongoing Twitter Files saga, only to go off on a tangent about content moderation, AI, YouTube, your DMs being used to train the content mod bots, how we’re all being used to train the machines, and ways to actually improve Twitter which will be boring to 85% of you.

We will be on our regular Callin schedule this week of Wednesday night at 8:30 Eastern, what we’ll discuss is anyone's guess at this point
