I have never seen such things in the suburbs of Philly...

Probably doesn't help to sell really expensive electric cars to people that may be in the group of people he is rampaging against.

Narrator: Elon Musk is definitely not following Insomniac's advice.

What? He couldn't get his programmers (a portion of which he may have fired) to change the whole model of the platform with millions of users into a subscription model in a couple of days? Shocking, I tell you!

There is an interesting element to this that dawned on me when I saw a tweet earlier. I can't remember the exact post but it was something to the effect of "Can you please stop? My small business relies on this platform. I'll pay you $8 but can you please stop tweeting??" There are likely a ton...

I can still see it. Along with his own reply a few minutes later that was equally as cringe. Why do I have special powers on Twitter? :tinfoilhat:

Surely the advertisers will be running back any minute now. :oops:

I have made 20 tweets (between 2012 and 2016) and have 12 followers. I'm sorry if I find this a little hilarious that I may be in the "lords" bucket of new functionality. No peasant! Or maybe the stuff just doesn't work consistently (better explanation). A day or so ago it was a set of...

You don't see the "Readers added context...." section attached to the tweet? They attach articles and then the public gets to vote on whether the attachment is relevant to debunking the tweet. But yes, I agree with your sentiment. I don't think self-moderation has proven very successful in the...

Here's an example where one of Elon's own tweets got flagged by birdwatch. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1588538640401018880 The voting aspect regarding what is truth and what is not seems problematic. But really trying to control information/misinformation is a no-win situation. This...

Ugh.

I find Jack Dorsey's reply to that tweet interesting. https://twitter.com/jack/status/1589438978113294336

He's been joked about as growing into a cartoon villain for a while now, so it is somewhat apropos. In other news, this is absolutely intriguing. He's BSing with randos on Twitter about how to monetize video content. The. Richest. Man. In. The. World. Negotiating % of ad revenue for content...

I honestly keep thinking it will have the opposite effect. Let's say a powerful entity uses bots to sway public opinion in various directions. If there is nothing more to the new check than paying $8/month then what is stopping said entity from throwing a million bucks (annually) at it and...

I'll admit I have spent more time on Twitter in the past two days than I have in the past 2 years. It's fascinating.

Right. The top talent can very easily, in this tech market, go work someplace else for the same pay that does not require them to sleep in their office under the threat of losing their job to meet unachievable timelines and half-assed products. These people, a week and a half ago, were working...

I don't know if anyone was on Twitter in the very early days. I was there in the beginning and it was FULL of impersonators to the point that it was very difficult to figure out if it was a real public figure or not - especially given the relatively low overall number of users you couldn't...

He's also apparently in the process of laying off many of the people that manage the security and content on the site which can't possibly help advertisers get warm and fuzzies. I was thinking earlier that if any bad actor out there had a desire to hack Twitter, now would be a good time to try it.
