This is about Elon Musk recovering the money he spent on Twitter, by invoicing the "AI" work to Twitter from xAI....

  And just as a middleman to Black Forest Labs doing the actual model here. "What would you say you [x.ai] do here?"

    "What would you say you [x.ai] do here?" Run the hardware?

      Carries the queries to the hardware? I'm a people person, dammit.

Currently the website is filled with many bots trying to promote and propagandise particular views and force them on you if you want them or not, but now your entire feed can be generated on the fly specifically based on what you engage with the most without any of the distraction that comes from "being sociable" — a concept dangerously close to "socialist" that we can't allow in our social media. Or something like that. Last I checked they've still not auto-deleted my account from lack of use, but it's been years since I logged in.

  How do they force their views on you against your will? Can't you ban them or not use the site?

Ah, but that's... literally everywhere. It sounded like your issue was specific to X, but you can experience the same thing reading a magazine, riding the underground or simply walking around in any modern city.

        Sure, but there's a lot more of them that happen to be on twitter even when it was still called that. Accounts are easy to make, tweeting is almost too cheap to measure. The IRL stuff doesn't scale as easily, and the responses from others take them down rather than boosting them — the "Nicht unser Krieg" graffiti has a constant back-and-forth counter-graffiti that covers up "nicht", for example.
