repiv posted:i thought apple didn't allow you to charge extra for IAP to pass the apple tax onto the user no apple's fine with it, that's just a choice some companies make whether they want to upcharge in the app or just point people to the website for subs because doing the former can lead to bad press

Wait do people go on Twitter to ask where to buy sandwiches? I thought it was 100% discourse. Seems like if you're going to use Al Gorithm its to give sponsored ads and tweets about sandwich shops if you're busy arguing about hot dog is a sandwich.

Old people who don't know that they're using Twitter and not Google. That's the market share Georgie "Do my homework for me" Hotz is gunning for!

Man I worked long hours like this from my mid 20s to early 30s and basically missed a ton of time with my kid. I have nothing to show for all the work I did other than looking 10 years older than I actually am but that may also be because of my Hunter Biden tier drug habits.

Looking at this again, I think Musk has had the quite frankly brilliant idea to get rid of search engines all together and crowd-source answers. So as the above poster said, it'll be just like Quora. Once you submit your question, you'll have to wait for hours or days for some internet-poisoned moron who visited South Africa in 2002 to tell you where to find the best Indian food in Johannesburg. A much better system than googles current failure of information indexing.

They have the twitter database. They can mine it and automatically provide you with the answers someone got from their friends in 2016 when they asked a semantically similar question.

Anyway, Geohot is right that its crazy easy to license a cheap AI question answering framework and feed it a whackload of data and some structure info and get coherent responses. Its just if he does that to Twitter without 2 years of data clean up analysis its going to instantly be Nazi Tay.

My pee bottle is full. gently caress. I submit some code from a random code generator to keep my numbers up, and make my way to the bathroom, paying the entrance fee so I can empty the bottle and take a dump. Security bangs on the door a minute later and tells me time is up. I wasn't done yet. I sigh. Back to the computer. Elon is pleased about the code number amounts, and rails a line in his panopticon guard tower in celebration. Things are coming about.

The funniest/grossest part of the Twitter Barracks Elon set up, is that those living spaces are going to get disgusting fast. The people I've talked to who worked on MMOs during crunch time and a few books I have read on the history of SE have made it very clear that crunch living conditions get incredibly loving gross. And Elon just fired his Janitors.

Azhais posted:Also Apple probably had a contract they're obligated to let play out what makes you think this? I assume zero good intent on behalf of anyone. Apple may just be playing the part of US industry & capital in the mid/late 30s, thinking "well this Hitler [musk] guy is pretty bad but these Nazis [twitter as a platform] seem to have some good ideas and useful for revenue, so maybe we can just ride this out?" AFAIK, the idea that it would be possible to "punt Hitler, and work with the Nazis" was sort of on the table until information about the death camps became public enough that it became politically impossible to think about such things. Cue US entry into the war in a big way. Lonnie is doing a lot of poo poo and encouraging nazism but so far he's not mass-executing people, so, the most cynical part of me thinks "even if Twitter only holds on as an even further right Parler, there's a pretty solid chance they will end up recouping a lot of lost advertising as stuff settles down and the news cycle moves on". edit: https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-the-world-discovered-the-nazi-death-camps/ , https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2001/04/hitlers-willing-business-partners/303146/ , https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/daily/nov98/nazicars30.htm Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Dec 8, 2022 |
