But you're right, it's not Musk's fault the bots are high, or the numbers are wrong? If he really wants to increase trust in the platform, why not just be honest about it? He said himself he didn't buy the platform to

I do find it curious that talk of Twitter bots have died down since the takeover. Since Elon was pushing it himself, don't you think there should be some continuity if that was indeed an issue? Like, if you're trying to objectiv

The section 230 seems pretty fraught no matter what side you take. I'm curious how you could write the law better than it is now, and of course how you enforce it. Twitter and Facebook for most if not all their decisions would argue

From the tweet thread: "Apple’s proprietary In-App Purchase system does not support crypto", so they seem at least have considered the idea of giving them a cut of the proceeds if it was supported.

Given the current dip in crypto legitimacy, I'm not sure that "Apple won't let you trade in internet memes because they don't accept the funny money you use to trade them" is the attack they think it is.

I wonder what this will do to misinformation. Seems like the next big culture war will be over AI. What seems very Utopian will quickly be framed as dystopian. If AI doesn't promote "opposing positions" it will definitely

As everyone starts to adopt AI, are we going to get to a point where the AI is eating itself. I could imagine AI failing similarly to incestuous genetic lines creating mutations.

It is unclear to me the precise thesis of this article. It seems to blame agile, but then talks about hourly pay schemes, Twitters hiring practices, balances of power and 40 hour work weeks.

Not to get all Tin foil hat, but Is there any other evidence this meeting actually happened? Tim didn’t even meet with Elon over an offer to sell Tesla.

This feels very Soap Opera and not like a real dispute. What is going on?

My reading of the article is that they are referring to self-identified 'neo-nazis' not 'everyone'.

So, Elon Musk is going to put Twitter Blue Payment inside the app, forcing Apple to make a decision about excluding Twitter from the app store for violating their terms of service, or excluding subscription payments from the 30% cut, which

You’re honestly hard to respond to sometimes. You’re in all these threads I am, clearly think very differently than me and are clearly passionate about it. I’m never really sure if you’re open to a discussion or just asking rhetorical que

Here’s the impression I’m getting. Elon Musk has an idea to save the world. Get 80% of the people in the world to be payment verified, allow full freedom of speech, everyone will be happy. Interestingly he very quickly seems to be pivoting

I know this is a joke, but given the debt and legal problems is there a forseeable World where this is a good deal (I.e. Twitter’s with is negative) I mean some valuations had Twitter as low as like 15 billion so with 13 billion in debt tha

“Pushing spam” seems very interpretable. Does spam have to be to more than one user? So targeted harassment that is not of a commercial or imminently violent nature is ok now? Also at least up until now I think Twitters interpretation of
