I don't mean to claim that Musk is some genius playing 4D chess - just that it seems like there's an internal push on various KPIs (often leading to some short-sighted decisions) and this change would fit in with encouraging inter

I've seen him boast plenty about various engagement stats, and seen the site make superficial changes to try to boost them. It seems probable to me that "find ways to increase these numbers" is a pressure he's putting on

I imagine Musk wants higher engagement metrics to brag about, and removing barriers to liking content is one way to achieve that - which applies to many people and not just Nazis.

Being afraid of getting punished for liking the wrong thing could also be, for instance, an LGBT person in a non-accepting environment. There are many reasons for privacy that aren't anything to do with hate speech. Though, I think hav

I'm not so certain. You can already run a GPT-4-quality model locally on a decent desktop, and GPT-3-quality models on low-powered chips - plus data centers will benefit from scale. A lot of third-party services are using paid APIs tha
