I detest Elon Musk but I still use Twitter because there just is no alternative to it if you want decent tech discussion.
And I don't think it's smug or dickish. I like AI and I encourage even inexperienced software developers to use it. There's just no denying that the slop cannon phenomenon is still a very real phenomenon.
- archagon 4mo agoI’m thinking more of the “Dead Weight” and “Turbo Brains” boxes as being particularly eye-rolling. As for tech discussion, of course there is an alternative. Practically every tech account I used to follow has migrated to Bluesky or Mastodon by now. The accounts left on Twitter have a distinctly narcissistic, preachy vibe. These people care more about “influencing,” not engaging. (And obviously they have no problem with the new ownership.)
