Here's a telling bit:
"Musk tweeted about their process, which he said involves a random sample of only 100 accounts per day. "That's it. No automation, no AI, no machine learning," the filing said."
The sampling process he's talking about is a reality check on all that stuff so of course it's done manually.
First Twitter uses every tool they have to identify fake/spam accounts, probably including "machine learning", certainly including automation...and then they do a manual sample to see approximately what proportion they missed. Can't imagine how else they could do it.
But I would like to know what his strategy is. How does playing at being a demagogue help him in court?
- vba616 4y agoI just skimmed EM's response in the lawsuit. It sounds as though his entire strategy is a "Gish Gallop" of incoherent claims about the mDAUs and a consequent demand for massive discovery that will take forever. I don't see any question that the expectation is to confuse people in court about definitions, the same way random EM fans have been misled. Ever single point made was based on a misunderstanding or misrepresentation, until I quit reading in horror. It's kind of terrifying when I imagine it might work. Even if it doesn't, I can't imagine that his lawyers will be punished or disbarred for this, which is almost as terrifying.
