Went on Threads and oof. Someone posted about that racist ranting at that city council meeting and most of the posts talked about how Muslims deserve to die and should not be allowed to exist.

So Twitter introduced a feature that lets users see where accounts are based on their location. The feature revealed that many accounts claiming to be from Red States were in fact from Russia. Elon quickly rolled back the feature claiming it wasn't working right.

Not working as intended means it's secretly showing too much of which Red State they are posting from.

Elon Musk must have pulled some strings.

It makes me wonder why Dorsey never implemented this kind of feature before. It would have gone a long way of exposing bot farms and bad faith actors on the platform. Oh yeah he never cared.

 

[Lily Adler]

Exposing more and more of them. No it's not VPNs. It's bot farms.

I thought there would be more in Russia.

If he causes another race riot in the UK, he can kiss it goodbye there too.

"None of the tech bros have a degree in Physics the way you do."

"For someone who claims to care about humanity so much, Elon Musk doesn't really seem to care very much about humans."

"If you did build [an artificial intelligence system] that could solve global warming, and you turn it on and said: how do you solve global warming, I'm pretty sure the first thing it would do is say: well, you shouldn't have built me."

This episode is a banger.
