The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow

Man, these bot screeners are getting so hard now.
I think racism has become worse on the political edges of American society, which makes it more virulent and impactful to POC and women. People can come on
@X and other platforms, remain anonymous, and find common ground with other racists, homophobes, anti-semites etc that just makes them more fervent
As their accounts grow and they get the random engagement by
@elonmusk they are rewarded by the algorithm with further reach which in turn creates the opportunity for more racism On here. That gives them more confidence to connect IRL and create and grow organizations dedicated to hate.
Which in turn gives more power to the racists to use whatever influence they have at their companies, jobs, wherever they can. These organizations reward them for hate, so it continues to grow. That's my opinion on racism
I find it truly fascinating how an individual can be highly intelligent and incredibly successful, but also so emotionally and socially stunted. He's an idiot savant with no ability to hear about or accept that he is completely below average when it comes to human interaction or that his opinions are just as worthless as everyone else's.
A 'great flood' of AI noise is coming for the internet and it's swallowing Twitter first
The internet is filling up with machine-generated "zombie content" designed to game algorithms and scam humans. Experts call it the "great AI flood".

One morning in January this year, marine scientist Terry Hughes opened X (formerly Twitter) and searched for tweets about the Great Barrier Reef.
"I keep an eye on what's being tweeted about the reef every day," Professor Hughes, a leading coral researcher at James Cook University, said.
What he found that day surprised and confused him; hundreds of bot accounts tweeting the same strange message with slightly different wording.
"Wow, I had no idea that agricultural runoff could have such a devastating impact on the Great Barrier Reef," one account, which otherwise spruiked cryptocurrencies, tweeted.
Another crypto bot wrote: "Wow, it's disheartening to hear about the water pollution challenges Australia faces."
And so on. Hundreds of crypto accounts tweeting about agricultural runoff.
A month later, it happened again. This time, bots were tweeting about "marine debris" threatening the Great Barrier Reef.
What was going on?
When Professor Hughes tweeted what he'd found, some saw a disinformation conspiracy, an attempt to deflect attention from climate change.
The likely answer, however, is more mundane, but also more far-reaching in its implications.
More than a year since Elon Musk bought X with promises to get rid of the bots, the problem is worse than ever, experts say.
And this is one example of a broader problem affecting online spaces.
The internet is filling up with "zombie content" designed to game algorithms and scam humans.
It's becoming a place where bots talk to bots, and search engines crawl a lonely expanse of pages written by artificial intelligence (AI).
Junk websites clog up Google search results. Amazon is awash with nonsense e-books. YouTube has a spam problem.
And this is just a trickle in advance of what's been called the "great AI flood".
Bots liking bots, talking to other bots
But first, let's get back to those reef-tweetin' bots.Timothy Graham, an expert on X bot networks at the Queensland University of Technology, ran the tweets through a series of bot and AI detectors.
Dr Graham found 100 per cent of the text was AI-generated.
"Overall, it appears to be a crypto bot network using AI to generate its content," he said.
"I suspect that at this stage it's just trying to recruit followers and write content that will age the fake accounts long enough to sell them or use them for another purpose."
You forgot indicted sex-traffickers.
Oh we're doing conspiracy theories? Facebook is bought and paid for by the far left extremists in this country and they're prepping for a blackout ok November 7th when biden loses the popular vote so they can steal the election. How did I do?
No; we're posting facts.
Musk's site is LOADED with bots and Russian influencers/trolls. That is a FACT
Now, they just PAY child pornographers & pedos for their posts.

Elon Musk cancels X partnership with former CNN anchor Don Lemon after interview
Don Lemon said he was informed of the decision to cancel the partnership hours after he taped an interview with Elon Musk for The Don Lemon Show.
This is objectively hilarious after the big to do he made about diversity of voices and promoting differing viewpoints, he canceled the guy because he was unhappy with how his interview went.Mr Absolute Free Speech just kicked the Don Lemon Show off twitter after its first episode.

What I love most about the internet is that it allows absolute nobodies, with absolutely nothing, to freely criticize the opinions of one of the world’s brightest and richest men in condescending fashion.
Musk is incredibly intelligent in some ways and downright idiotic in others. I honestly don’t think this is debatable. He’s been divorced 3 times for goodness sake.
Not if you're on twitter.
It’s shocking, I have seen it once where a guy I respected found politics and felt the need to be heard. Everything changed about him, personality-wise. And ultimately the people he hung out with. And yes, he went full MAGA. I have to imagine that people at Tesla, who helped build the company and ascended with Musk, are a tad bit terrified by this development.

I think Don Lemon probably is a pompous fool, but it’s hilarious for Elon Musk to call someone that.
I can’t figure out - is Musk really this guy? Or is just doing what Trump and others have shown you can do, which is fleece the MAGAs and the right for your own benefit?
Maybe both.
Maybe both.
