Absolutely.    Would you like other guys pointing out Hotez deficiencies?   It was actually more about Hotez but whatever? Why stick around? All the constructive back and forth

Yes. Like on Instagram, just scroll down to suggested reels and it will show you what you like/want to see. My suggested reels are either hot chicks or tennis related, or hot chicks AND tennis related. My wife’s are all interior design junk. 

At least one poster here seems convinced everyone sees the same posts.  As if the entire world cares about, *checks feed* which SEC team has the best throwback logo (It's USCe).

Well people who've "rage posted" as you put it, without any hint of bias whatsoever, have given no indication they've used the "share button," whatever the fuck that is. Do you find yourself using the "share button" a lot? As for training the model, that's not what users on twitter are doing, is it? They're literally reading the site, using it as they did since day 1. And since elno has taken over the site, it's changed drastically in the favor of incels and racists. Anyone with eyes can see it. Many, many articles, many, many twitter users have written about it. Somehow you're unaffected. Sure, okay. But your implication is somehow that nothing has changed since elno gained control. Either you use the site differently than many others, or you're full of shit. I don't know which but please hit the button and share more about your singular and unique experience.  

In summary:

- Doesn't know there's a share button.  TBF this might be called something else on iPhone.

- Doesn't know what "training the algorithm" means.

- Doesn't know what "rage-posting" means.

- Wonders why he sees "racist and incel" content on Twitter.

In summary, you're incorrect on all counts, with one possible exception. Back in the day it was called "retweeting" or rt for short, not "share." Also you've avoided every question asked of you so fuck off back to whatever hole you crawled out from.

Lol. The app gives you what you want to see. That’s the point. 
 

100% false. If your feed hasn't noticeably changed to include significantly more far right slanted/conspiracy theory BS tweets then I can only assume the algo was already feeding them to you.

 It's supposed to give you stuff that you will click on, not shit you will go in and block the accounts posting it, and that was *mostly* the case prior to Elon. Sure, there were misfires, but not of the "what the fuck is this white supremacist shit or Qanon conspiracy battshittery" variety.  And when you blocked accounts you didn't want to see, they stayed blocked and didn't show up in your email notifications, etc.

Elon deliberately monkeyed with the algorithms (which he has publicly admitted to) and he made it so that people paying the $8 are prioritized over everybody else, which is why a lot of us are seeing this shit. Again, Elon admitted that this is by design - people who won't pay him $8 are going to get their stuff buried in favor of people paying the $8. 

If you block somebody, you should not get any notifications from them at all, whether email or in your feed, and whether they paid $8 or not.

And it's not giving me a lot to click on at the top of suggestions/feeds - when I get shit notifications and stuff in feeds,  I ignore it and scroll down to find what I actually want.

In the past, twitter would take into account that I ignored a bunch of suggestions and skipped to stuff I'd click on, and it'd feed me more of what I clicked on.  Not anymore.  It damn sure didn't give me stuff I had blocked.

When people realize their 2 year old electric shitboxes aren't worth the constant calls for service over door handles and other seemingly inane parts of a vehicle that always work for the big 4, he can become irrelevant. He is a garbage peddler, the faster we realize it the better.

Ask me how many teslas it took for my smooth brain to figure that out.

y'all have probably already seen this, but I"m reposting

just for the lulz

 

That is funny as hell, but mainly because I don't think Elon understands how bullet-proof glass works - the outer layers are going to crack/spiderweb, but it's the laminate/inner layers that need to really hold up.

But the thing that bugs the shit out of me is that if they are sticking "bullet-proof glass" on that truck, and that truck has electric locks/handles/whatever, and the FSD drives it into a fucking lake

How are you going to get out or be rescued if the locks/doors fail?  I assume they have something inside that lets you unlock/open the door manually, but I like being able to knock the glass out as a last resort.

Also Chopper, “why are all these ads for ball gags and boner pills on my computer?!” Cmon man!

I've gotten a chuckle from seeing you rage follow this thread by throwing up an occasional emoji when some imbecile posts a reply you like. But your occasional posts reminding everyone exactly how fuckin' stupid you are... <chef's kiss>

That's my understanding as well. It's weird how I know more about the app than the 2 twats who've tried arguing with me about my behavior on the app when I've specifically said I don't have an account there and haven't had one for a long time. In fact I haven't had a twitter account since the time they changed registered users' timelines from chronological to suggestions or things they think might be of interest. Six years ago, maybe more?

@lindayacc, Kara Swisher's guess,  RT'd the article below. I can only imagine the bluechecks response to the new ceo a) being a woman who b) if not outright endorses, finds the article provoking. (that said, I'm with her on it)

She's over CNBC/MSNBC, which are hated by the bluecheck incels, so it'll be amusing.

I saw a discussion last week saying that some of the major Tesla investors are pressuring Musk to step aside on twitter, because they are pissed at the blowback against Tesla from people pissed about twitter, but more importantly, they are concerned that Musk will continue using Tesla stock as an ATM to pay off twitter because he wasn't trying to make twitter financially viable.  They made it seem like if Musk keeps fucking around, he'll be ousted just like he was at PayPal.

He owns around 13% of stock, and I wonder how much he owned of PayPal when Peter Thiel booted him on his honeymoon.

She seems very good at her job and like she's ready to go on to bigger and better things. She's in charge of integrating the Olympics next year. She already manages a global staff that's comparable in size to twitter, and why someone successful would work for elno, who doesn't give a fuck about business contracts, I don't know. If she's the selection, it'd stir up quite the storm. This is one paragraph of her bio at nbcuniversal

Quote

As an industry advocate, Yaccarino has called for a return to values-based, trusted partnerships, spotlighting the most important issues facing her colleagues and peers. As 2021-2022 Ad Council Chair, Yaccarino partnered with the business community, the White House, and government agencies to create a COVID-19 vaccination campaign, featuring Pope Francis and reaching over 200 million Americans. At NBCU, she uses the power of media to advance equity and helps to launch DEI-focused initiatives, including BOLD, a program for employing veterans; #ShesMy, a campaign to uplift women and girls; Scene in Color, a collaboration with Target to elevate emerging BIPOC film creatives; and a partnership with Telemundo to release a Latina-centric storytelling guide.

The bluecheck rage would be amusing so I hope, if it's her, she doesn't burn bridges at nbcu.

She seems way too logical of a pick for Elon to have made it himself, because that one paragraph you mentioned is full of stuff Musk hates or mocks, but yet she would be somebody you would pick if you were trying to woo back advertisers, with her having recently been the Ad Council Chair.

I'm assuming that if she takes over, there is some kind of clause about him not interfering with her decisions.  Because if she makes the necessary moves to get advertisers fully on board, the fucking bluecheck incels will lose their minds and be screaming at Elon to make her go away, as if a million incels cried out about their moms bitching at them to clean up their rooms.

As Tucker gets ready to launch his show on Twitter, important to note that Elon Musk’s own politics are nuanced and difficulT to identify.

This seems really thought out by Musk. Wonder what's going to happen when Carlson realizes he doesn't have the same caliber of attorneys to cover his ass like at Fox.  The inevitable lawsuits aren't going to cut into Twitter's negative bottom line at all, I'd wager. 

 

This was partly addressed by Swisher and Galloway this morning. I will spare you the podcast and give you the TL;DListen - basically there is nothing set in stone here yet. Carlson can say this, but for him to do this:

A. he would have to forgo the $25 M that Fox owes him
B. he would likely still need to get out of the contract to get on TV

Galloway basically thinks this will show how much Murdoch likes or hates Carlson. If he really hates him, he will hold him to his contract and let him wither until 2025. If he doesn't he will let him out without paying him. Will be fun to watch.
