Christian Rudder on OkCupid, user data, and the impending AI takeover - The Signal

Remember those OkCupid blog posts about the mathematics of beauty, the lies people tell in online dating, and how OkCupid experiments on its users? Those were the work of Christian Rudder. Christian Rudder is the co-founder of OkCupid. He is also a founding member of celebrated indie-rock band Bishop Allen. He has his own IMDb page from roles in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and the mumblecore film Funny Haha. He is cited on the "Love" wikipedia page, and he's written massively popular blog posts at OkTrends. Two years ago he authored Dataclysm: Love, Sex, Race, and Identity–What Our Online Lives Tell Us about Our Offline Selves, the New York Times best-selling book that delved into what data tells us about who we really are.
