I find X immensely helpful for what I'm interested in: programming and machine learning. Most if not all of the people whose research & work I'm interested in are on X (Carmack included).
I think you need to deal with your own biased way of thinking before trying to judge other people.

- dragonwriter 1y ago> Elon visited Auschwitz with Ben Shapiro and declared he was "aspirationally Jewish". Trump has Jewish children and Grandchildren Fascism and Jewishness are not inherently inexorably opposed such that being “aspirationally Jewish” (if that weren't a completely vacuous claim to start with) or having Jewish family members is counterevidence to being a fascist; Xenophobia and creating a foreign enemy are common elements of fascism, which foreign enemy it is not consistent among different particular instances of fascism. > Calling someone fascist and Hitler gets them murdered these days, I wish people would be more sensible. The resurgent fascism in America and its government kills far more people, far more directly, than calling people fascist could reasonably be claimed to.
- justinhj 1y agoI am not sure what you mean by fascism in America or what deaths you are referring to. Seems you are okay with some political inspired murder though.
- AtlasBarfed 1y agoThe gall of this comment... It should be in an ignominious hall of fame. Nazi salutes are done by Nazis. It really is that simple.

- justinhj 1y agoNo, it's really not that simple. It was an ambiguous motion, explained by Musk quite clearly. Whether you believe him or not is purely subjective, but I at least offered some explanation why I do.
- spiderfarmer 1y agoI just created a new account on X to see what it looks like nowadays. It was shocking to see that of the top 100 trending tweets on a fresh account that doesn’t follow anyone, at least 10 were people showing off how much they hate other people. I’m not exaggerating. It’s a platform that thrives on hate, with maybe some useful information in between.
- anonymous908213 1y agoYes, the algorithm is horrendous. You can opt out of the algorithm. Follow people you like, use the following timeline or a third-party API, and you will never see the bad content. It's pretty simple.
- spiderfarmer 1y agoI already deleted the account. I'm doing fine without X.
- Zababa 1y agoYeah it is genuinely terrible and getting worse. It's kinda fine if you have your own little bubble and can adapt to frequent algo changes and only use the "following" tab, but then you miss on sometimes pretty good recommendations. I used to tell people to get on there to have the latest AI news by a few good accounts, I don't anymore, I don't want to expose them to all of that hate.
- spiderfarmer 1y agoYou can get the latest AI news everywhere. I don't think I'm missing out not being on X.
