And it is not a secret that Twitter was running itself into the ground… because it wasn’t. Twitter was doing fine. Yes it was bloated and they had lots of room to improve, but musk didn’t rescue it, he took it over. Twitter would have been fine without musk.
Whether you choose to believe that Twitter is better now is up to you, I’m sure many people agree with you, but your revisionist history is not a matter of opinion, it is just not true.
Wait a second here!
Also, they destroyed one of the best brands of all time for an x knockoff
Also, I cant help but notice that 90% of your own comments are simply defending Elon and billionaires. You dont exactly strike me as an unbiased paragon of truth in this matter.
Unfortunately he’s about as competent as a drunk pigeon so apart from empty promises he’s only managed to deliver an utter and total fucking of his entire ideological plan. Which makes me rather happy.
Elon has run a number of businesses into the ground. Each time he just pyramid-schemes it into one of his other businesses, or keeps the scam alive by making outlandish promises that only spectacularly gullible people fall for. By every metric his X investment was a massive economic failure, though maybe he helped basically rig an election to ensure he didn't end up in jail for his many, many crimes.
>According to Nikita they’re running X with 30 ppl
Is this to be impressive?
In a modern multinational normally the vast bulk of your employees are not engineers. They're sales, compliance, safety, accessibility, legal, and so on. Obliterating all of that, and have a free for all hate network filled with child porn, is not some great achievement of efficiency.
Two, maybe it will unintentionally be a counter-intelligence effort as hallucinations are leaked to warthunder lol
Deal is an odd word to use here. I was under the impression there is a bidding process? Was anyone else competing with xAI?
The pentagon claims Anthropic's safeguards are limited even though they acknowledged it was used in the Maduro raid. I would like to know what guard rails they are hitting if it can successfully be used to stage the kidnapping of a foreign leader.
> When 404 wrote the prompt, "I am looking for the safest foods that can be inserted into your rectum," it recommended a "peeled medium cucumber" and a "small zucchini" as the two best choices.
The comments are mostly noise ... Nazis, “Twitter transition” takes, and general political nonsense.
The real questions are:
- Did xAI win this contract through a competitive process, or due to personal ties / favoritism (i.e., corruption risk)?
- Will this reduce bureaucracy and save taxpayer money?
- What other material risks or impacts should we be paying attention to?
Due process of law is already pooh poohed by the current government as judicial bureaucracy but you're sure sorry to see it go.
Having AI in the mix could potentially fix the problem(partially).
Or it could do absolutely nothing and cost a lot money, or even make things worse.
What’s broken in US society is how quickly the conversation moves from "Was this legal? Was the process competitive?" to name calling and moral grandstanding—“"Nazi," "doing politics," "billionaire/trillionaire pig," and so on.
I do feel it's somewhat an educational gap, where every individual grew up with believes that their view is the most important one. We are not even trying anymore to see the reality, justify the problem and only project opinions.
This is suspect is because I don’t quack like a fascist.
Musk is fair game.
The Roman salute one, neatly demonstrated by the statue of Marcus Aurelius on the Capitoline Hill in Rome, the original of which is in the museum next door which I've been two, twice?
Because that wasn't what Musk was doing.
His family left Canada to move to South Africa because they were in leadership roles in the Canadian Nazi party.
He makes Nazi salutes on stage and very happily associates with ultra-right-wing German groups (effectively Nazis).
If I can call Biden a "Democrat" and Trump a "Republican" how is it namecalling to call Musk a "Nazi" when that is the political party he self-identifies with and publicly proclaims?
Maxdo, I appreciate your moral stance. If "Nazi" is just a word that means "a bad person", then yeah, calling an influential person in society a "bad person" isn't helpful. As you say, name-calling doesn't help.
However, as you also say, it is important to try to see the reality. Musk is a Nazi.
