- jdthedisciple 4y agoSo Elon is ISIL now? Weird reply.
- nemothekid 4y agoIt's dril, don't take it too literally.
- aaa_aaa 4y agoProgressives have totally lost their minds.
- minimaxir 4y agoIf you look at the GitHub repo, most of it is READMEs describing systems, not the models or code subleties which actually give explanations into how certain weird behaviors on Twitter happen. (e.g. the preference of certain users in the For You tab. EDIT: bad example, since there appears to be a flag for that in the code, although it does not specify which users are on the list)

- bboygravity 4y agoOr an alternative view: no matter what he does there will always be haters and there are massive (political) incentives to destroy his public persona. Those incentives also align nicely with those of hedge funds that are short TSLA as well as family offices that are short Tesla (hello Billy boy Gates).
- JustSomeNobody 4y ago> ... no matter what he does there will always be haters. Yes. Why? Because he's an jerk that deserves it. He's done and said enough dumb shit that people should take him with an ocean's worth of salt.
- bboygravity 4y agoHe's also said... extremely smart things? And built amazing things?
- kaba0 4y agoOr, hear me out, maybe he is just a terrible person with some insane level of narcissism who will talk shit about everything without being half competent at that, and recently the consequences of his very own shitty decisions have been catching up to him. You can be only so stupid to acquire Twitter overpriced and drive it to the ground, there is no need for “political incentives”, when he is quite good at destroying his own persona.
- bboygravity 4y agoName 1 Musk company that failed? Incompetent how?! If Musk is considered incompetent, I might as well drop whatever I'm doing forever because I'll never ever even come close? Driving into the ground? Sounds like pure speculation based on nothing as long as Twitter isn't bankrupt? You don't like Musk. OK, fine, you're allowed not to like him, but I don't get your reasoning.
- jonahbenton 4y agoLOL. My algorithm at twitter had been very simple- See tweets from people I followed. Don't see tweets from people I didn't follow. Trust people I follow in their retweets to signal something interesting. Unfollow unhelpful people. Once that algorithm was rendered impossible, I left twitter. Haven't missed it. Having someone say- here's the way we are going to promote something to you- doesn't make me inclined to accept the promotion!
- mgiannopoulos 4y agoThis still exists as the Following tab and viewing it is a persistent option. You don’t need to see the algorithm feed (“For You”) ever.
- mempko 4y agoYou should try Mastodon then!
- addisonl 4y agoDid he? Considering the vast majority of the algorithm is waved away as “ML model”.
- thieving_magpie 4y agoI can't pretend to know if this contains the actual ML model code but there is a second repo the-algorithm-ml: https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm-ml https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm-ml
- raydev 4y agoDo we "gotta hand it to Elon" for not missing one of his 40-50 self-imposed deadlines and feature announcements?
- horns4lyfe 4y agoGiven the previous leadership was secretly working with the feds to suppress political dissidents, ya, this is a good step.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoWhere is the file containing accounts that are artificially boosted? We can guess what its single line is, but how is it incorporated into the algorithm?
