do regressives delist and or delete any their wrong wokebashing videos or posts? or do they kepe them up because they get hard from being owned/wrong?

I know someone who pre-ordered a cybertruck. And to be fair, he was super hopped up on drugs from hip replacement surgery.

If he cancels it, at least he'll make a bit of profit off the deposit refund.

Yes please do! (or anyone else who happens to get a code, of course)

My own trite sob story is that I'm stuck back in the Mother Country, and our government was already so great at weaponizing Twitter I deleted my account about 18 months ago. But now I keep missing a daily read of really eclectic news, where you could zoom in and out of focus from hyperlocal to longform deep-dives, and with lively, cutting commentary going on all around (even if sprinkled with nazis and crazies). The news Proper around here has been absolutely eviscerated, there's nowhere to get my fix (except SA to some extent - thank god for small mercies).

On topic, guess what just appeared in the employer-selected bundle of "news" that plops into our work inboxes:

https://www.livemint.com/companies/...3099183029.html

quote:

X launches Hiring, a job search feature for verified organizations, aiming to challenge LinkedIn. $1,000 monthly fee.

Billionaire Elon Musk's microblogging platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) has introduced a new job-hiring feature that offers verified organizations an opportunity to post job listings on their profiles. The company said that the feature will help concerned companies find relevant candidates for the job roles featured on X Hiring Beta.

“Unlock early access to the X Hiring Beta — exclusively for Verified Organizations. Feature your most critical roles and organically reach millions of relevant candidates," X wrote in a post on X.

(...)

After launching the new Hiring feature, observers called it a crucial step towards making X an ‘everything app’. However, it may not turn out to be an immediate challenge to LinkedIn, but the move indicates its intentions to widen its scope in the tech industry, as per CNBC reports.

(...)

X has witnessed a slew of modifications since Elon Musk's takeover last year. He has recently shared a photo on X featuring his son, X Æ A-XII. In the picture, the child is seen standing in front of a prominent X logo.

In Elon Musk's shared image, his son, lovingly referred to as Lil X, can be observed donning a white t-shirt along with knee-length khaki pants.

He's captured holding a tumbler in his hand, with a wide, joyful grin on his face, as he gazes directly at the camera. Positioned before a large white X emblem displayed on a black wall, the scene is captured perfectly.

The All-App is Imminent! Any day now! Make ready your email filters to spam-bin the LINXEDIN alerts!

Also LIL X ahahahaha

Job listings isn't the worst Twitter Idea by a long shot but it would also be a lot more useful to have implemented it before scaring away half of its users with gore, spam and Nazis.

I mean, you could say basically anything was a better idea before alienating anyone with a shred of empathy, but with job listings you have to consider that you're potentially going to work with the person who sees the ad.

Only if you're a verified corporate account, mind you! I'm no longer sure how many fees and subscriptions and charges that adds up to. And this is just to get in queue, so you aren't left wailing in the wilderness when they "rollout" (and promptly get stuck on a grass verge)

Also lol at the e-mag translating it into rupees so it looks even more preposterous to Indian employers (it's an anemic sort of The Economist, same sympathies but little to no ragebait of the "20 ways to skip breakfast and put in unpaid OT for millennials" variety).

aside from the hilarity of using the nazi death threat site to get a job, and needing the $1000,- account tier to place a wanted ad, why is that article describing a picture of Elon's kid in such excruciating detail. Just out of the blue. That's weird right? It's a short article but a good third of it is just a description of the kid's picture...

Sadly our starving journalists often have to fill up wordcounts rather like AI does, because Always Be Creating Content. And to the wider public Elon is a distant but basically admired and interesting figure of wealth, glamour and amusing-ness. So it makes sense to round out the already fluffy article with 'society page' style light gossip. Incidentally, I don't think US media does this any more? but 'round-ups' of major social media sites are a regular feature in Indian newsmags, usually including this sort of cutesy descriptions of images that the reader can just go look at :shrug:

...oh wait, on TwiXXer they actually can't see much anymore without accounts

You know, you're probably right. I haven't played around with AI enough to know its capabilities for tone and dialect. I CAN say the tone is EXACTLY what a kind of empty-slightly-sugary content writer sounds like around here.
