| We'll call this one the "data are data" hypothesis.
|
| Hypothesis 2) Tik Tok has decided that it's an AI company, not a
| content platform company. This is subtly different, as the locus
| of intersection between social media and materials sciences is in
| the company's human capital, not the algorithms used. Call this
| the "Data Scientists are Data Scientists" hypothesis.
|
| Hypothesis 3) Tik Tok, as an avatar of the CCP, is deliberately
| adding fuel to the narrative that its a national security threat,
| thus baiting Biden to shut it down, which would be hugely
| unpopular with one of his critical voting blocks. Call this the
| "Troll Biden" hypothesis.
|
| All of these hypotheses seem really important from a geopolitical
| perspective. If social media companies become our primary engines
| of applied sciences, that would be a pretty huge shift. If the
| CCP is using Tik Tok to use cultural popularity to play chicken
| in the trade war with the US government, that's a pretty major
| development as well.
|
| Any other ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
