His proposal with buying Twitter was to “fix the bots” but he probably actually just meant control the tone of them

I’d be more willing to pay Logitech for a subscription to never have to touch their software again.
Trying to make a flagship product and keep it pumped up through subscription sounds a lot like live service games.
And those all fucking suck.
I thought Elon would just tell everyone to drill in some hood pins.
But I guess trying to do it through software(…?) is even cheaper.
Every time I click a Reddit link now it’s just “download the app to verify your age” regardless of what it is
Maybe the reason Elon broke every part of Twitter was just so he has plausible deniability while he meddles with everything and desperately tries to get his name in every discussion.
I still don’t understand how the buzzword of AI 10x’d all these valuations, when it’s always either: a) exactly what they’ve been doing before, now with a fancy new name b) deliberately shoehorning AI in, in ways with no practical benefit
That’s crazy they had above 50%, though I guess they were the only EV-only company in North America (I believe?).
I love the idea of useful and improved AI-automations, based on the fact every site currently has a “customer service robot” that have never once helped with a resolution at all.
IMO it can eliminate a huge amount of support queries and leave the important stuff to the actual agent if done right. …with the caveat of yeah fuck AI if it’s fully instead of agents.
The majority of the ads I get on Twitter now are deepfaked Elon shilling coins — I don’t know how any advertiser (or user) could have any faith in that platform anymore.
I will say, I don’t know what they’ve done but it’s been fucking up my casual circumvention nicely. Now I just get forced into almost 10 minutes of ads every time, and the ad bars shows up underneath videos, the end cards at the wrong time…
It’s insane how many people already take AI as more capable/accurate than other medium. I’m not against AI, but I’m definitely against how much of a bubble of being worshipped that some people have it in.
I feel like Apple is much less threatening as a monopoly than a loooot of other companies…?
Please do. Keep making headlines for self-destruction.
I feel like we’re at the age of the internet where a strong minority (see: Lemmy users) care deeply about all the ugly exploitative and anti-consumer nature of big tech, but the vast majority of the population just… doesn’t care… and shrugs off (and enables) the continual downward spiral.
If this is anything like the flag to bring back the old Chrome downloads bar (I miss you), then enjoy it while you can.
I’ve found Google alternatives great for things that are… filtered (copyright etc), but honestly no matter what search engine I use, I swear none just give you the results for your query anymore. I’ve still been finding the Bing-based ones horrible quality for relevancy and defaulting to Google.
The thing that makes me most sad is that the old Twitter is genuinely why I have the career and connections I do today. Now I can’t even stand opening the site.
I didn’t read a single thing beyond the title but… yeah that checks out
Every company is trying for the most unqualified workforce these days… but at least most of them don’t involve flight.
