Someday there will be a book or master class on how thoroughly Musk destroyed a mostly-functional social media site, accomplishing the complete opposite of his stated goals.

Ah, good ol’ Elno. “I’m going to completely solve the bot problem, with this one move that may superficially seem dumb, but in reality it significantly damages site usability and also, as it turns out, makes the bot problem worse! I’m a genius, you know.”

My mind is filled with images of a slightly charred Wile E. Coyote, for some reason.

aha! but that is a response! ( gpt bots everywhere begin to pour steam out of their proverbial ears )

the discourse bot knows what’s what:

The term “OpenAl’s content policy” in this context refers to the rules and guidelines established by OpenAl, which regulate what content is allowed and not allowed on their platform. It appears that the statement indicates that the request made by the user violates the policy, and therefore, it cannot be fulfilled.

I bet this news is not making the stockholders any happier with Musk.

We solved the anonymous Bot problem! They’re now employees! …of course we’re not paying them very well… or at all. Just like real employees!

He kept his promises to his investors. This is their objective.

The only evidence I’ve seen for that comes to refusal to believe that Musk could actually be this stupid and incompetent. Sorry, but he is. He didn’t say he was going to buy twitter then try to back out then spend the next year ruining the reputation of all his companies as part of some clever scheme.

The rich have money because they’re especially greedy and connected, not especially smart. And investors are no less likely to be taken in by a con than anyone else, at least when they are also rich. There should have been more than enough examples by this point – or was Theranos also keeping secret promises?
