xp to infrastructure post
1000 node presto cluster is not “keeping twitter running” that is probably some analytical junk and if the last two years have taught me anything, it is that you really need to segment “this is what keeps people doing things” and “this is how we determine what people are doing and modify that experience”
the latter is where potential exists but if it’s a zillion times larger than the former then you’re taking crazy pils

tesla bring software industry practices of frequently pushing new updates to their cars is unsafe, cars need to behave in consistent predictable ways and if youre always changing the software thats not happening, even worse other companies are doing it now too

I saw someone on Twitter make the point that Trump's deal with Truth Social (i.e. whoever actually put money into that thing, because obviously it wasn't him) require that all of his posts appear there for at least 6 hours before appearing anywhere else. Assuming that's something Trump could wriggle out of if he wanted to, it's still a useful leverage point for him to do something — like, insist Musk buy the company or something.

Someone in that twitter thread points out that video is from 2019 and since "resolved", no idea how true that is as they dont back the claim up.
But I'm getting wary (and weary) of a lot of disinfo and "comedy" crap flying around now.

Also reinstated Project Veritas. So what if — either because it was always the goal or it has evolved apace — the model is to turn it into a global disinformation network for the international alliance of kleptocrats and religious fundamentalists? (Yes, I have been watching The Peripheral, why do you ask.) Authoritarian populism gets its own giant megaphone, which they can't build themselves because they've tried, but they can take control of one that already has the infrastructure in place. With costs covered by the League of Evil Billionaires. Still open to anyone, but with the trolls and fake accounts encouraged rather than restrained.

there have been numerous sites which encourage trolls and fake accounts and there ain't a single normal person on any of them
― frogbs, Monday, 21 November 2022 04:03 (one year ago) link
Yeah, and that would probably be the result here. But they're starting at a scale where there are already a lot of "normal" non-chan people. Maybe you figure some of them stay because they don't really care about politics, they care about sports or TV shows or whatever. I don't know. I don't really think there's some masterplan or conspiracy here, it's all way too half-assed. But after some initial noises about caring about moderation, Musk is on a totally different tack. Maybe that's just his natural instinct, but god knows who all he's hearing from or what kind of money is being bandied around.

yeah, given the size of the platform, it will take more than individual users deciding "enough's enough" for it to lose its hold on all kinds of not-paying-close-attention people. assuming for a moment that the platform continues to function on the technical and financial levels... it's gonna probably require organized boycotting and noise-making, social pressure that gets people to equate having and using a Twitter account to, like, having and using a Fox News premium subscription or something like that. it has to be WIDELY understood as a right-wing scumbag edgelord disinformation site... not just amongst politically-informed types who've been carefully following all the Trump/Musk stuff and Musk's continued descent into obnoxious fashy jerkwad trollery.

the problem with turning twitter into a right wing hellhole is not only that users will leave but that advertisers will too, however normal twitter has already been a big amplifier of right wing propaganda enabling trumps presidency hosting the vile libs of titok and so forth, so if i were them id basically keep it how it was maybe let a few big accounts back on
― lag∞n, Monday, 21 November 2022 12:37 (one year ago) link
tbh I don't really know how the math changes when it comes to social networks, because people join because people they like are on it, and when some of those people start leaving they may start leaving as well. even though Twitter is addictive and has a stranglehold on those little pockets of free time people have I also think it doesn't take much for that addiction to break. the clowning on Elon is fun and I'm all for messy forums drama but is it really gonna be fun a month from now? I'm already noticing some of the good people have left and that a lot of right-wing trolls are starting to take over.
the whole idea Elon has - that Twitter should be a "town square" or "marketplace of ideas" - is exclusively a right wing thing, for reasons the left figured out long ago. free speech absolutism always just leads to stuff like "maybe Paul Pelosi had a gay lover and staged a false flag attack to help Dems in the midterms" which I think most smart people figured out you just don't engage with. you can't change anyone's mind and quite frankly who wants to spend their time that way? ILX is an echo chamber too and that's why I like it. you don't seek out contrarian assholes to hang out with in real life so why would you wanna do that online?
― frogbs, Monday, 21 November 2022 15:18 (one year ago) link

The best article writing service is one where you can get enough work and the amount charged is justifiable enough. You will come across some <a href="https://1essaywritingservice.com/research-paper-writer/">hire research paper writers</a> if you are looking for someone to write for your website or blog. But keep in mind that quality is something you definitely cannot afford to compromise.
