Yeah, what in the gently caress is he talking about? Is this complete brain worms or did he hear an actual fact he morphed into “THEY STEAL OUR DB”

he does seem convinced that api access = database downloads which is, like, sure you could do that with an api built to do that, but i'm pretty sure microsoft's advertising platform was just using it to push posts without having to open a twitter client because twitter didn't bother building an api that lets people wholesale steal their database.

gently caress, now it makes even more sense. He doesn't understand that the content itself is one of the least valuable parts of the database. The company he bought has an insane amount of informational power, but he thinks it's just a guest book

Musk's complaint here is completely irrelevant to the advertising news its attached to. He's salty at Microsoft about OpenAI and just taking the opportunity to try to poo poo on em. I'd bet a good amount that the API's ToS does not prevent Microsoft from using it as training data for ML models.

Don’t be silly, he has only just discovered Microsoft copied Twitter’s data, or something, illegally - apparently, and this was entirely coincidental to this latest move by them.

Musk wants to be seen as a leader in the AI field and is upset that his original investment in it did not buy him the notoriety he thinks he deserves. Microsoft is increasingly partnered with OpenAI so he almost assuredly thinks they're stealing his thunder and is mad about it. And then Microsoft comes along and kicks him in the balls with the advertising move. So he lashes out.

The reason why you have the non sequitur is because the AI poo poo is what Musk is really upset about.

Just my guess.

Probably right. The guy can’t stand not being at the centre of everything, and when it comes to ChatGPT and how much people are talking and raving about it, when he’s not even slightly involved, he can’t take it. He’s irrelevant to the conversation and no one is feting him for his (non)involvement.

I’m still lolling at TruthGPT, the AI concept that makes no sense that will also never exist, like his robot, Neuralink, and a bunch of other poo poo.

the training part, sure, but he's made similar "download database" comments regarding other companies using the twitter api.

Twitter is sticky because people use it to get news, lulz and celebrity posts in one place.

Musk, the business genius, is driving out all of the celebrities and news orgs. For every person who makes a post that they're leaving, there are 10 that just quietly stopping using it like most people did with Facebook. They're making the site less appealing for the content creators who use it while also more expensive. It won't be a dramatic failure, the site will lumber on like a zombie until it gets sold to Ben Shapiro or something in 5 years for pennies on the dollar

Elon accusing everyone using the API for free of "downloading the whole Twitter database" is like that bash.org quote

code:
<NES> lol
<NES> I download something from Napster
<NES> And the same guy I downloaded it from starts downloading it from me when I'm done
<NES> I message him and say "What are you doing? I just got that from you"
<NES> "getting my song back fucker"

Holy poo poo, that actually makes sense. The reason he wanted to charge for the API, the reason he thinks everyone is “downloading the database” - he was shown all the api calls, the traffic they generated and either made the big-brained leap / one of the remaining hardcore engineers was bullshitting him (or is also an idiot).

He really is king idiot of idiotland.

anecdotally the content in the feed isn't that bad for me now, the main problem is it repeats itself constantly and randomly rearranges itself

for a while it was pushing all kinds of random garbage, though it will probably revert to that when elon gets bored and starts pressing buttons again
