It’s really hard to overstate how badly things are going over there at this point.
It’s incredibly obvious by now that Elon and his crew of weirdos currently running the show (David Sacks and Jason Calacanis etc) were just marinating for years in an echo chamber of right-wing propaganda full of resentment against Blue Checks, fantasies of "shadowbanning", resentment of rules against hate speech, and lies about politics and other topics.
They are just making things up as they go in what is quickly becoming the new textbook reference of the Dunning-Kruger effect (https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/dunning-kruger-effect https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/dunning-kruger-effect)
- unsupp0rted 4y agoIt’s not incredibly obvious to me. “Move fast and break things” is a viable strategy some of the time. Works for MVPs. Doesn’t work for surgeons. The corollary is “the cost of fixing broken things that need fixing because you broke them while moving fast is a fraction of the cost of not moving fast”. Does any of this apply to Twitter? We don’t know. It could still go in either direction and whichever way it goes in retrospect it’ll seem obvious and inevitable.
