when you don’t have 44 billion dollars but want the same experience

I've spent years wanting to build a consumer app that was impossible for a long time. Now the tech has finally caught up to my vision.
Introducing SocialAl, a private social network where you receive millions of Al-generated comments offering feedback, advice & reflections on each post you make.
SocialAl is more than just another project for me - it's the culmination of everything l've been thinking about, obsessing over, and dreaming of for years.
I've always wanted to create something that not only showcases what's possible with tech but also helps people in a real, tangible way.
SocialAl is designed to help people feel heard, and to give them a space for reflection, support, and feedback that acts like a close-knit community.
This app is a little piece of me - my frustrations, my ambitions, my hopes, and everything I believe in. It's a response to all those times l've felt isolated, or like I needed a sounding board but didn't have one. I know this app won't solve all of life's problems, but I hope it can be a small tool for others to reflect, to grow, and to feel seen.
Thank you to my family and all of my friends who have helped me through it all.
I hope this app can be something special for others, just like it has been to me.

Today's PSA: Store your old phone passwords somewhere/Make regular backups of data on your phone. I've realised today that the only copy of a certain file that I have access to is on a phone I stopped using 5 years ago & don't remember the password to anymore!

Well this is grim

weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt
and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here"

the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine

with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world

but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED
this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me.

he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood

it was so fucking rough. i did my best, but i am one person trying to work against a campaign of misinformation so vast that it fucking terrifies me. this kid is being set up for a life lived entirely inside the hall of mirrors

It took 5 years to write, but here’s the full story behind Lambda School, Silicon Valley’s disastrous foray into for-profit education. I cover how it burned through $120m, why Income Share Agreements failed, and how one developer-turned-journalist ended the fraud. www.sandofsky.com/lambda-school/
