The Lone Badger posted:I don't think your initial analysis is quite right. Elon doesn't want people there overnight so he can gets features out faster, he wants them working long hours and never going home as an end in itself. Yeah that's probably true. Which means that Elon himself doesn't understand WHY some companies do crunch cycles. He just thinks they're a standard part of "how company be successful". And because no doubt he's been through it a few times with Paypal and Tesla etc, he knows it's just "a thing you do". Like if you do one crunch cycle and you get X success, then you can do crunch all the time and you'll be X^2 successful. Companies that don't do it are just lazy! He's cargo-culted himself.

Comstar posted:Why is Meta so against what using it for Porn? That seems to be the best use of it. Literally anything, Zuck says a metaverse can/should be with Horizon, VRChat does already. And better, as an open platform (and even soon to have its own internal marketplace for avatar and asset creations) It's why Horizon is getting mocked to death constantly. VRChat even hosts virtual events, most recently VKET's virtual marketplace showcases have included convention booths for Japanese locales and businesses. (Get to go have a look, examine products, click a link to pop out to the actual web storefront in your browser). It's a neat way to spend an afternoon exploring with friends, but anyone who tries it could tell you wouldn't want to make that your norm for shopping or business. If you want to see why Horizon's so absurdly bad, streamer RTGame played it so nobody else ever has to out of curiosity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdqrFa6pWLA Edmund Sparkler posted:George Hotz doing the equivalent of posting "FB friends, tell what's the best wireless provider and why? And go!", except he's arrogantly posing as the savior of a clapped out social media company and he's in way over his head. The stuff he's asking? I've actually worked on front-end functionality doing similar things (not on twitter scale, but still professionally), and the questions he's asking are either laughably basic things or so absurdly wrong he should know it's wrong before asking. I doubt I could build something for Twitter to improve their search, but I'd know well enough to be engaging with their back-end API team and looking at how the existing search functionality pulls results to start with. And then I'd probably spend a couple months learning Twitter's architecture, API and language just to even begin to understand the requirements involved. The Lone Badger posted:I don't think your initial analysis is quite right. Elon doesn't want people there overnight so he can gets features out faster, he wants them working long hours and never going home as an end in itself. I fully expect this to get real Lord of the Flies at Twitter HQ by the end.

Programmer guy has already won, idiots. He wondered "what would it be like if i could just tweet questions and twitter responded with the results of my query???" Then he went and tweeted a question to his rabid elon fans and expected them to reply to the query with results. It's a Flinstones version of the solution. Instead of code and machinery programmed and built to house this new feature, Elon/Hotz will count on a legion of smelly nerds to watch all of twitter for tweeted questions and then go out and supply answers and reply to the tweeted queries with their results. checkmate.

Data Graham posted:Yes I too want all my web searches to be published openly as tweets so they are forever in my history and people can reply to them. Just like the clueless old men who occasionally post "big boobs" or similar in facebook because they don't know the difference between it and searching.

I also recommend the Happy Hill Dog Park in a similar vein, cause you can play fetch with neat NPC dogs that'll go retrieve and return toys to you.

Ok, so I’ve decided all this is because ChatGPT uses tweets as one part of its input. ChatGPT is the “search engine that is better than Google,” created by OpenAI, a company that lists Musk as a founder. Something something something Twitter is the future of search.

google search is kind of lovely now unless youre searching for something that you can buy or programming topics we're pretty much stuck with it though it's hard to see how anyone fixes it or creates a replacement because decades of google encouraged "SEO" bullshit has ruined all of the inputs they used to make google search good originally

Last batch of changes devalued all the classic SEO bullshit and instead supporsedly promotes genuine user behavior, like actually reading things. The problem is people mostly see ecommerce pages anyway because thats what the core google search algorithm values, and most users don’t see content they’d actually like to read - with the exception of Wikipedia, which is why its so high in the organic results often.

The Awesomesaurus posted:https://twitter.com/realGeorgeHotz/status/1599977399403569152 google.com, the website that has become so near-synonymous with the phrase "use a search engine to find it" that is has to fend off genericization of its name due to its ubiquity, is waning.  Midnight Voyager posted:We're back to Star Citizen constantly reinventing the wheel and acting like nobody's done it before. It's a circle, but one that they *just now* invented, and you're a pedo if you steal it. Also, it's going to take 4 years and a few million before a working model of that circle will be available.

repiv posted:it feels like search engines in general are doomed now that these giant AI language models are proliferating and can churn out mountains of plausible sounding SEO garbage with minimal effort This can be solved by using an AI to search for you, current if you ask where to get a cuban sandwich GPT will tell you it cannot search the internet so it cannot tell you where to get one locally. So if these were actually able to search and parse out other AI text... well we have an arms race.

Thinking he could rewrite everything in twelve weeks. The only support he got was "Oh, this guy was a player in some scene and he kinda seemed to have decent credentials..." with the obvious "...but" just hanging out there. Quelle surprise the guy is a loving idiot who thinks he can topple Google as a search engine when searching for poo poo in Twitter it-loving-self is loving garbage. It's kind of funny how obviously that dude was full of poo poo yet all it takes is a few healthy strokes of Elon "DM me pix of ur code" Musk's ego to get in.
