    Do you think Musk had any idea how much the US government was involved with Twitter when he was buying Twitter?

    Twitter has updated their policy on hate speech:

    It’s been a long time coming, but it’s officially safe to declare that Elon Musk’s dream of “free speech” on Twitter, whatever it may have been, is dead. It died as it lived: confusingly, underwhelmingly, and at the vainglorious whims of the man who dreamt it.


    Do you think this is enough, or does Twitter need more staff or AI. Sometimes, a website just gets too big?

    Twitter is Dying. Once a free internet resource, now will be paid for the better services. What is Musk doing?

    If you pay Musk for this meaningless mark you’ll also get increased algorithmic visibility of your tweets and the power to drown out non-paying users. Which mean all the fakes and imposters can (and will) overwrite the real-deal on Twitter.

    I haven't posted much on Twitter lately, however, this news is a bit worthy and controversial.

    Musk cisgender and cis are now slurs on twitter.

    X formally known as Twitter has been meandering on in the news. Not many explosive changes for awhile. I caught this tweet from Musk today and thought it was a deep message to consider. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1710392906245124389 The real fight is not between right and left, but rather between humanists and extinctionists, I'll just let that soak in, some will understand this statement, some won't, clearly.

    Also found this on X today. More about ChatGBT and it's relevance. Is ChatGBT biased? You decide? https://twitter.com/ElephantCivics/status/1709302779741700351

    BREAKING: I have found a list of sites excluded from ChatGPT-4. I will explain how I found this, but first, here is a portion of the list. This list contains hundreds of names, but ALL conservative news outlets seem to be included.

    Ok, maybe I am completely ignorant, I keep seeing things about it but never looked into it, but what exactly is ChatGBT?

    ChatGBT has really grown in interest.  So many people are using it now and if you are not careful, you will have a hard time discerning the difference between real news, a portrait etc.

    I recently read that ChatGBT was seasonally depressed....the developers said that ChatGBT learned that people get depressed during late fall and winter and tend to not work as hard, so ChatGBT was not putting out as much information and was making hallucinations. 😶 I just have to throw my hands up on all of this.  🤯

    I found this interesting op-ed article written about Twitter from the past and some history of what made it popular verses how "X" is now under new management...."cough*.....🤓

    In the heady days of the millennial media startup boom of the 2010s, the sense that large social platforms would pay publishers for content and create a new class of lucrative digital media outlets was pervasive and unquestioned. And in those early years, no one knew which platforms would succeed. It is almost impossible to believe, but there was a time when Twitter felt like a real competitor to Facebook.
