RIP Twitter

[butchna]

They were very poor at monetizing it. I just don't see how that is easily reversed.

That they balked at selling displays their financial savvy.

Yea, its a little explicit for public school

Geez. This is what you liberals consider appropriate for public schools? You wonder why we conservatives don't trust any of you further than we can throw you.

Talk about dead in the water.

Dang..3rd Grade material.

Well, isn't that all the evidence which you can provide? You can't prove that 80% of Twitter is an echo chamber.

There is actual data on the “10% generate 80%” claim.

Kinda the world we live in..The Mouse that Roared kinda world.

 

[Vol423]

So he bought an underperforming company, at a premium, for spite.

What could possibly go wrong.

Your concern is touching. I'm sure Elon will be lucky to avoid living in the gutter.

Its disgusting isn't it...no buisness in a library for public school...maybe high school definitely not middle school and below..

 

[Vol423]

well, technically 975 million.... if we need to start being precise:

What's $25 million amongst friends?

 

[85SugarVol]

Elon making Twitter great again!

Is he still alive?

...not in high school either.

What does making the algorithms open source mean?

The formulas that are used to filter results and push into trending or shadow banns will be public and worked on transparently by a public team. Similar to how a number of blockchain projects are run.

just means there will be a lot more transparency in how twitter decides to push one content over another

I don't care if you are a bad natured, natured, pagan orgy, ritual follower, this is heat.

Thanks, you and Huff.

How would/could it be exploited?

No idea. But fir a skilled hacker if they have the source then they can probe for methods. Again Musk is a smart and tech savvy guy I’m sure he can balance it

Idiots

 

[NorthDallas40]

just spitballin' here but he may be referring to the algorithms used for flagging content -- so people could see where the biases lie

also for what gets promoted, becomes "trending" etc

Yeah like I said he’s a tech savvy owner. And he will get good knowledgeable info to help him make balanced decisions I’m sure

 

[Boston Vol]

Idiots

Actually I’m the idiot. I got duped by a satirical account. Although the point still stands, the left’s obsession with academic achievement is quite comical.

 

[BreatheUT]

Seriously, I don't really care about much of this. I do hope he crushes the wall of prohibiting the rights of free speech that doesn't infringe on others. And no, alternative viewpoints don't infringe on others.

 

[85SugarVol]

He's going to continue most of the moderation, or it will quickly devolve into an unusable cesspool.

As he should. Rules against nudez and death threats and such.

He’s probably only going to kill the political censorship.

I really want to see which algorithm is the one that pulls the negative Biden stuff down.

There is actual data on the “10% generate 80%” claim.

Good lord... this is the 4th time I've had to say this :

A social media echo chamber pertains to the platform's content, and what is allowed or not allowed. Your statistic does not address content at all. In an echo chamber dissenting points of view are not tolerated...

 

[85SugarVol]

Surprised you dont spend more time over here.

Careful what ya wish for lol.

At least use a good version instead of some Timberlake crap
