The man hasn't invented a thing in his life except new ways to spend money on stuff. And 3) isn't this the blog that did a full-court press to try and cover up and disprove the fact that Telsas ran over children on auto-pilot, right up to putting out as "I require one (1) live human child for a live fire experiment, you will be compensated if your child/children do not survive." request that got laughed off the internet.

It's worse then it sounds because that option is chosen when you add something. You have to edit everything you have ever uploaded if you don't want anything used.

So instead of peer code review they're going to have the Inquisition checking code for malicious backdoors and whatnot. An healthy way to run a company. Also what would have access to the office have to do with sabotaging Twitter? I would expect the only employees that need physical access for their duties are like physical security and facilities people. I would expect Twitter not to run anything on prem, or at least nothing that is related to its frontend at the very minimum. EDIT: are they worried about people that have had their priviledges revoked physically accessing servers with like a console cable?

There are rumors that the company is down to around 600 employees or less. I saw one report saying maybe 250. They had 7500 when Musk walked in the door not even three weeks ago.

Even if you assumed 600 of the most competent and capable employees decided to stick around I'm not sure how you maintain everything Twitter needs to function at the best of times with that much of a workforce reduction

If you funded strategic reduction in scope for a few years, 600 sounds fine for keeping the site running on a technical basis. Probably the worst ticking clock is that it's going to be CSAM central in not a very long time, because keeping that off a public platform at Twitter scale takes a lot of headcount.

That Italian Guy posted:So instead of peer code review they're going to have the Inquisition checking code for malicious backdoors and whatnot. An healthy way to run a company. Maybe planting physical hardware to maintain network access or something? I don't know. He closed the offices for the initial layoff wave, too. I guess with layoffs at this scale, it's not like you can just have security show up and walk everyone out. It really does stand out how much Musk deeply distrusts Twitter employees, too. We saw a lot of that during the transition too - nearly the entire moderation staff was locked out of their mod tools for a few days, and he sent managers scouring their payrolls to make sure that their teams existed and that there weren't any nonexistent "ghost employees" drawing a salary. It's bizarre - I haven't heard of him being nearly this paranoid in his other companies. Is it because he inherited the workforce and didn't have a chance to stuff it with toadies from the very beginning? Or is he just scared that it's full of liberal operatives out to destroy free speech at any cost? Who the gently caress knows, but it's honestly impressive how quickly he's tanked employee morale.

Electric Phantasm posted:So what would Twitter imploding realistically look like? Just the website disappearing into the ether with no warning? Yes. Something load-bearing breaks and nobody fixes it. The site starts returning internal errors or stops responding entirely. Computers do not heal or reconfigure themselves and all the staff who could have done it are gone. A site on the scale of twitter requires constant attention from a large team, it’s just all invisible because when they do their job it works flawlessly haveblue fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Nov 18, 2022 |

The slow corrosions: lack of staff needed for maintaining relations and partnerships starves it of revenue, lack of design and ux causes the site experience to stagnate, lack of moderation, customer support and curation degrades the user experience and creates feedback loops of engagement loss The acute implosions: lack of sufficient code base maintenance leaves the site vulnerable to catastrophic outages or data loss. Site becomes progressively more vulnerable to exploits or data leaks. The longer the site has staffing and offices in such disarray, the greater the chances each day that the site just goes down in a way that remaining skeleton crews cannot fix in a reasonable timeframe Either grouping of issues is fatal, twitter gets both

Electric Phantasm posted:So what would Twitter imploding realistically look like? Just the website disappearing into the ether with no warning? That's the interesting thing: we don't really know. This has kind of never happened before. We've never really seen a communal space of this size and and scope falter so rapidly to the point where it's literally hard to predict when and how it will break and what the fallout will be. Will it go all at once and just never come back? Will it hobble along, slowly sloughing off functionality after functionality until it takes like 15 minutes to just load one tweet and people abandon it in waves? It could also somehow soldier on for years, diminished and irrelevant yet still used by a collection of desperate weirdos who failed to migrate elsewhere, like SA is doing. We'll find out eventually though.
