i read an article once where a source inside tesla said that elon was quite carefully "managed," like they'd devote a lot of energy to placating his rages and preventing him from making any rash decisions. so he has been mad for a while. but it doesn't seem like twitter has a skilled enough asshole whisperer to keep him in check.

i wonder if he is...increasingly isolated?

elon promised blue subscribers more engagement and hes not delivering lol prob cause he fired all the developers and cause you cant make people like shitty tweets they need to build an ai that will write viral tweets for people but they cant cause he fired all the developers

haha, yeah that's where it seems to be going, or at least what they want: to make twitter users little CEOs of their potempkin villages. pay the fee to get better "engagement", then use AI to craft tweets because you can't think of good stuff on your own, then...i think the part that is missing is that the bots need to be there in order to give the AI tweets more engagement. elon may be making a mistake in trying to get rid of those, it's a key part of the delusion scheme
― z_tbd, Thursday, 9 March 2023 17:38 (one year ago) link
you could have an ai that basically turns your account into a bot automating all the activities of twitter and interacting with other automated accounts, it would still give you the option of using twitter manually when you felt like it but why bother its already taking care of it for you, all you have to do is sit back and read your notifications, all negative content will of course be filtered out
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 March 2023 18:16 (one year ago) link
it could have a lil thumbs up thumbs down training system so it figures out how to generate stuff you like
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 March 2023 18:17 (one year ago) link
well its worth remembering that Tesla was making cars before Elon bought the "founder" title and both them and SpaceX get a ton of federal money which I assume means you have to have a functioning board. so its only natural that Twitter would operate more like his *other* companies like Boring and Neuralink, companies which are uniformly terrible and may not produce anything tangible ever (outside of what Twitter's already done)
also funny to remember that this is basically how Trump operated too, anyone who ever worked for one of his companies or in his government has said the same thing, that things could only run smoothly if they kept him away

Idk if it's true or not but I often think of Felix from Chapo talking about how Elon is a rockabilly guy.

honestly, as long as users don't care/notice, this feels like the future for most ad-based media
― rob, Friday, 10 March 2023 14:06 (one year ago) link
Yeah I think a lot of content-generation jobs (copy writing, design) are going to turn into basically AI management, or AI specialists. Twitter will be all bots except for Elon and catturd.

some (most?) clickbait media is already heavily guided by "AI" (meaning: analytics + A/B optimization + specialized CMS), but who needs human posters when you can get people to lurk/look at ads while bots post
― rob, Friday, 10 March 2023 14:26 (one year ago) link
My own life would be a lot better if an AI could cover government meetings for me, but I feel like that's a long way off.

There's no way the Feds would sell SVB to a company that has zero banking experience and would have to start learning their new business by watching some Powerpoints. Elon may not know this, but he knows how to encourage his flatterers.

Halli, thank you for staying on twitter dot com

Not when they’re fed propaganda by adults. Moreover, every child goes through an identity crisis before their personality/identity crystallizes.

i'm guessing, but i think he's going for the "this is so obviously not the context for that joke but i said it anyway!" angle, which i remember being very in vogue when i was 10 years old and is deeply unfunny
