Oh I agree, this post won't change anything at this point. But I guess that's why it was released (and as others noted, also for regulators / to save face after weeks of chaos).

TLDR: this post is entirely to calm advertisers, it can be boiled down to "don't worry, we still prioritize brand safety like before". It does have this gem in it: "What has changed, however, is our approach to experimen

I think the "this is a skill" just refers to the various things needed to form and maintain friendships (being good at conversations, taking social initiative, following up, etc.) More of a set of skills. And to be fair, my interp

This is super cool, but it's worth pointing that it still relies on supervised learning from a large dataset of human players, and that it's not a general learning algorithm (there is a whole bunch of problem-specific aspects to t

Agreed. This is using an AI to play a game, IRB seems like overkill. I guess the only potential problem is if it went off the rails and spouting toxic language, but that presumably was not a real possibility.

Yep, agree. Twitter's revenue was primarily from ads, and now I'd bet their ads revenue has dropped a huge amount. Given how Musk is behaving now (reinstating Trump etc.), and losing many pivotal sales people, and the firing of a

Wrt 2: "I am going to miss this place. We built something special here, and I do not expect to see its like ever again. I have worked here at Twitter for over 11 years. Back in July, I was the 27th most tenured employee at the company.

I don't think it a large proportion; the vast majority of users are on a few large instances such as Mastodon.social which are not via MastoHost. The owner also stated he would not want to host more than a 4th of all instances https:&

Signing up and using it is no more complicated than Twitter once you choose an instance. The Gradient (which I am part of) set up a new Mastodon instance (sigmoid.social) last week for the AI community which now has 3.5k active users - it t

Isnt part of the appeal of federation that each instance/server can set its own rules and moderation teams? Much like Discord / reddit / etc.

I think mass migration of people from Twitter to Mastodon is unlikely, but I do have some hope that specific communities will be able to make the switch. For instance, just yesterday I set up a new instance -- which was incredibly easy than

I also usually watch from subscriptions (I am subscribed to 100s of channels). But I do like the home page and recommendations for discovering new channels! In my experience it actually captures what I like to watch a lot (perhaps because I

Fair question. For something as simple as "women laughing with salad", totally, you can generate yourself. But, for anything less concrete/more conceptual, I think needing to explore various options will remain. Often when yo

To be fair, this is true for solo artists in general - musicians, writers, indie game devs, youtubes. Even substack writers. More often than not it takes a long time to build up an audience and all.

I've watched the video as well and wholeheartedly agree! His 'Line Goes Up' documentary about crypto is also exceptional; very critical but in educated and actually nuanced ways ( https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g )
