Women have gone to the police because of his abuse on Twitter. He was a very successful UK TV writer, I might be underselling that a bit he co-created some of the highest regarded UK sitcoms of all time, and can't get a job because he harasses women online. His wife left him because he harasses women online all day and night. He was was rightly banned on Twitter because he does nothing but harasses women on Twitter. And now he is back on Twitter and declaring 2023 as the year to harasses women online. That will get advertisers back Elon.

frumpykvetchbot posted:with lidars and radars the car would have had a far better integrated picture of the scene. I wouldn't get into a "FSD" test in a vehicle that didn't have at least lidar. The tesla 3 series initially shipped with radars. But not anymore. Big brain musk deleted all sensors other than the cameras and declared that they would be enough for FSD. Tesla invested substantially in realistic simulation of what the cameras see in different situations so as to feed scenarios to the AI training work, but cameras are often just blinded by adverse lighting conditions or covered in dirt. Hold up. Teslas only use cameras for detection? And you're supposed to let it control itself? How does it even stay on the road in low/no light conditions?

Non Compos Mentis posted:https://twitter.com/williamlegate/status/1606063438987345920 I don't think bots are made that way. Is more probably that are just a single script running in a server, sending web requests. The receiving server of these request don't know if the originator is a real phone or what. If thats not possible because closed protocol and really is required to have a full phone. It makes more sense to have a thin android emulator layer, and emulate hundreds of machines in a single server. Real phones would be a hassle. Get hot, consume a lot of energy, ocuppy real space, and will probably burn after X hours. I don't think "warehouses filled with phones" is a real thing, more like how a poweruser *spits* imagine it.

If I remember correctly, this was sold by Musk as “humans only use their eyes, and we want the car to drive like a human does, therefore radar and LiDAR are only used by companies as a workaround for the fact their cars aren’t as good”

Even when his friends and wife begged him to stop he just couldn't. It's actually very common with transphobes with them going off the deep end and their friends and family asking them to stop.

Yeah I remember when those weird inappropriate youtube channels for kids started getting popular it certainly looked like they were getting their views/comments inflated. And I'm not talking about the low quality nursery rhyme channels you see today but like the pregnant elsas wrestling with spiderman and the joker stuff.

One of the weird things about "start up" culture. Is the idea you have to move fast, and one way to move fast is to make decisions. Imagine layers of management and bureaucracy that prevent decisions being made. Now the benifit to good management and bureaucracy is that it can give an organization something called "institutional knowledge" meaning its hard for new people to gently caress poo poo up and when people leave the organization it can still function aka bob is the only guy who knew how poo poo worked! I remember reading some thing over years ago where elon said "you have a 50/50 chance of making the right call" is you make the wrong call you can go back and fix it, so you just need to make decisions fast. The only example where I ve seen this play out well is spaceX. Elon said "lets land on a boat" and in a mater of mouths they had a boat. While Nasa would still be having having meetings about if they should buy a boat. The changing poo poo at telsa with lidar and ultrasonic sensors etc have elons hand prints all over them. And I m honestly curious, they have a feel of drivers creating a huuge ever growing data set to train an AI system on. okay bring it back to twitter. Twitter is a mature company, they already developed the platform. The need for speed isnt gonna work as well, and its clear what ever he though he could do with twitter was just talk to sell stock.

Tei posted:I don't think bots are made that way. Both exist! The kind of spam and abuse that is often referred to as "bot" activity comes from diverse sources. Some of it is fully automated, as you illustrated. But some of it really does come from groups of machines run by human operators. Each method has its own advanges. I'll share a few examples. Automated: - Cheap - Scales well - Can be operated remotely - Does not require the logistical hassle of maintaining a bunch of machines - Very few human operators required (maybe just a single person!) Real machines: - Activity looks more "real", can be harder to detect - Requires less programming and sysadmin skill - There are places where phones and labor are actually quite cheap - Leaves room for human input, creativity Both methods get used because each has its own advantages. For example, if you just want to crank out large numbers of identical posts containing a link to some product where you get a cut of every sale, the automated solution is probably your most cost effective option. But if you want to try to stir up political controversy, having humans who can respond quickly to the latest headlines with bespoke messages, and can argue with other posters, etc., is much better. You'll want a proper troll farm full of humans for that. There's also considerations with respect to having your operation detected and shut down. Every spam method gives off signals which a good Trust & Safety team at places like Twitter (... before it was gutted) will be looking for. Often - but not always - fully automated spam operations are easier to detect. Real groups of humans aren't all running the exact same kind of computer, and logging in from the same IP, and posting identical text within milliseconds of each other - to give a trivial example. Anyway, it's all very interesting if you're the right kind of computer security nerd. Don't underestimate the spammers, they're highly motivated (it can be lucrative) and they're smart / creative. They'll try anything, even mounting a hundred phones on a rack for some person in a third world country to use mechanical turk style.

QuarkJets posted:I'm not sure about that, if embeds weren't helping Twitter somehow then they wouldn't have spent time facilitating them, right? Embeds feed users into Twitter. Person clicks on the embed goes to Twitter and a whole heap of systems are there to keep the user on Twitter, notifications, the trending feed and whatever. News sites used to be all about embed Twitters because it was cheap to write a story around them. Now days they don't do that so much and just quote the Tweets because the embeds were getting users to leave the news site and go on Twitter.
