Inside a Big Cat’s Roar

The roars of big cats — tigers, lions, jaguars, and leopards — carry long distances. In part, this reflects the animals’ size: large lungs exhale lots of air through a large voice-box, whose vibrations resonate in a large throat. But size alone does not make the roar. Below are examples of two big cat voice-boxes. On the left is the nonroaring snow leopard; on the right is the voice-box of a roaring jaguar. The red boxes labeled “VF” mark each cat’s vocal folds. Nonroaring cats have triangular folds, while roaring ones have thick square or rectangular vocal folds. These rectangular folds are more aerodynamically efficient, allowing them to produce a wider range of output levels. They’re also more resilient to the intense forces of a roar, thanks to the cushioning effect of fat deposits inside them. If interested, you can learn more over at Physics Today.

A tiger's roar depends heavily on the shape of its vocal folds.

Many technology companies would be more benign if they were owned and governed by their users.

Users have the most to lose from tech-driven addiction and automation,
and their data generate most of the companies’ value.

⭐️User-owners would share in this value and have an incentive to keep companies from causing harm.

❓How might users come together to start and run more technology companies?

Bringing together a disparate and dispersed group of people is difficult;
-- economists call this the #collective #action #problem.

👍Influential nonprofits such as the
🔸Center for Humane Technology and
🔸Project Liberty can play an organizing role,
incubating a new generation of user-owned social media businesses.

While it’s a competitive field with entrenched players,
social media technology is not complex,
and there is a real hunger for more benign versions.

Existing firms can also be redesigned.

✅Instead of raising capital from profit-seeking corporations,
OpenAI could seek funding from users and give them representation on its board.

✅And with users on the board, the company might take more care to launch products safely
and dedicate resources to maintaining employment.

🔥Most important, more of the financial gains of the AI revolution would flow to the people creating the value.

If #Keith #Gill,
also known as #Roaring #Kitty,
could organize retail investors to drive up the market value of #GameStop by $10 billion,
could a similar approach have been employed to acquire Twitter for users in 2022?

Given the millions of defections from the platform since Musk purchased it,
it may not be too late.

The government can also help if it’s not headed off by Big Tech political contributions.

The 🔸Small Business Administration,
the Department of Energy and
the 🔸National Science Foundation
should ✅ encourage user ownership of the companies they fund.

The venture capitalists of Sand Hill Road will of course scream that this is #socialism,
but they will be wrong.

It’s just business.
