Well yes.. That's exactly what I count!
Is Elon Musk the greatest visionary or the greatest snake oil salesman of our age?

Yipchaa!
Well yes, if you don't follow any right-wing/fash accounts, you're unlikely to see many, if at all. I only generally see them when I follow up on particular posts/topics.
But the trouble is, on the rest of the site they're being massively enabled, specifically (but not at all exclusively) by the billionaire owner of the site.
So while your Twitter experience may not be affected by it, the society you live in, and those that also live in it, are.

it’s there though, so people will look at it. They’ll stop when it’s not there anymore

That's rubbish. MySpace is still there for example.

I deleted mine last month after not using it for a year.
The few times I'd been back for a look it did still look the same - no dodgy accounts in the following feed and I'd also hidden all that trending crap. And there are people I miss from there and some campaigns I can't follow that way now.
But we need something independent of all the billionaire pricks and we have that.

you have to start somewhere...I suppose in a sense I am too. But only in the same sense in which you are supporting the capitalist system, which produces cunts like Musk, through your performance of 'everyday neoliberalism'

Indeed. But a 'political' starting point is determined in part by your situation and experiences, but also in part by the direction you would like to go in. My starting point in that second sense is an intense dislike of capitalist society and a desire to inform myself better about aspects of it. For other people it will be different.

Yeah, that'll be because "Grok" is a copy+paste job of ChatGPT by Musk's minions. The kind of man who fires a whole bunch of people when he takes over a social media company, is not the kind of man who can then gin up the necessary skilled labour for building a more original LLM. Musk is a fraud whose "achievements" are stolen or bought from people with actual talent.

Saw rumours of this yesterday on the site itself and it turns out to be true:
Alex Jones: Conspiracy theorist returns to X with Andrew Tate repost
The conspiracy theorist was banned from Twitter - now X - but its owner has now reinstated him.

Big-name advertisers love it when you use their money to give a foghorn to a man who got sued for over a billion dollars for libelling grieving parents.

Grok refuses to answer a prompt, says its a violation of the "OpenAI Policy"
Grok, that chatbot from xAI, has been causing a bit of a stir online. Apparently, it's been turning down some user requests, saying it's against "OpenAI policy."

I assume these principles he speaks of are those of a 14-year-old 4chan reject, which ties in with the fact that he doesn't want Xitter any more, it's costing him too much, and more and more people are thinking he's an idiot, but as a 14 year edgy 4-chan reject; if he can't play with it no-one can. So, instead of being the bigger man admitting his mistake and selling it, he will burn it to the ground. Plus, in the eyes of other people with the mentality of 14-year-old 4channers, he's owned the libs.

When the world came apart, where were you?
If musk's version of twitter is a free speech platform, then why did he need to have a vote before re-enabling Jones' account?
I know I'm asking a question so stupid that even musk should be able to able to understand it. That he fails to grasp it speaks volumes.

Would say that he has huge huge support from a massive section of society, esp in the states. He will be popular with anyone whose got a bee in their bonnet about “owning the line”. A toxic Sad Dad seems like a perfect fit for these times…
can you explain this to me please? what's going on. What is Grok? What is OpenAI code etc? I just about know what chat GPT is.

Grok is. Elmo's foray in to AI and is currently only open to X/Twitter premium users. Interestingly the word was originally coined by SF writer Robert. A. Heinlien Grok - Wikipedia It is meant to be a Martian word from the novel 'Stranger in a strange land' with no direct translation into English but the closest thing to it in English could be 'understanding'. It is not too difficult to see why Elmo was keen to call his AI platform 'Grok' what with being enamoured of the idea of colonising Mars.

My former Californian-based manager used 'Grok.' I wasn't exactly sure what it meant, but in context it seemed to mean work something out. e.g. 'Please grok these logfiles to find a problem'

Thank you! But sincerely what does the rest of it mean?

Grok: word for understanding commonly re-used in the subculture of tabletop RPGs, picked up by Musk as part of his cringe "how d'you do fellow gamers" shtick to name his version of ChatGPT.
OpenAI: The Microsoft-backed nonprofit which created ChatGPT. Musk was involved at one point but got punted out and was very bitter about the whole thing.
Modifying Malware: Rewriting malicious code for fucking up other people's systems. ChatGPT is barred from doing this. What's notable is that "Grok" refused to do so as well when asked, and referred to itself as being bound by OpenAI's rules -suggesting its core code has been thieved wholesale from ChatGPT.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Seems like Grok is his attempts to be a modern day Edison by stealing others work and claiming credit
