Random thing I've been thinking about was the CEO of Elon's first job did a Q&A and was asked "if you could interview anyone who would it be and what would you ask them?" and his answer was basically "I would interview Elon Musk and ask him how much of his dumber behavior comes from working at a company that YOLOed into an industry they knew nothing about pretending they were hot poo poo and lit a bunch of money on fire." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-pUrB8vf3o

MrQwerty posted:SpaceX and Tesla also both have loving awful, toxic work environments based on burning people out and destroying them as fast as possible. With the insulation. If they weren't there, SX would have killed some people with a Crew Dragon by now, and there would be multiple deaths/day at the Tesla factory.

The point of adding better video support is that he wants to add video paywalling, a.k.a. turn Twitter into OnlyFans.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Supposedly SWIFT was Not Happy with OnlyFans and that was part of the reason to try and drop the porn. Anyway, in the aftermath of that, a conservative anti-porn group with a deceptive name made to sound like they were fighting bad sex crimes (vs. their old name, "Morality in Media") put pressure on Visa/MasterCard to add extremely overkill documentation requirements (or something like that) that would have basically killed the ability of amateur porn sites to make any money. They took the bait and OnlyFans was doing to have to go no-porn under the new rules, but Visa/MasterCard backed off a bit when they realized that they'd been duped and so OnlyFans scrapped their plans to go clean. https://www.newsweek.com/why-visa-mastercard-being-blamed-onlyfans-banning-explicit-content-pornography-1621570

It's pretty baffling that even if this is a cover, his response is "no, I'm not going to tell the world that we're having a massive unexpected issue, I'm going to tell the world that it is a totally-intentional terrible decision and I am wrecking the site on purpose."

Riven posted:The top trending word on the entire platform the last two days was “apologize.” The CEO finally posted and did not include the word “sorry” and the responses are basically “girl, how did you get people to give you 8 million dollars when you’re this loving dense?” Riven posted:Yeah part of the dev response has been “moderate through federation,” to which the community response is “that isn’t possible yet and you are running this particular instance and thus are responsible for moderating it” It also makes the problem worse by raising the collateral damage cost of cutting a lovely instance off of the network.

TulliusCicero posted:Why is every social media site rate limiting? Twitter has had a rate limiter for a long time, the only reason it turned into a problem was because Elmo started tweaking the knobs himself. Really, Threads just should have shut up about it because right now "rate limits" are a hot-button issue because of the Twitter screwup, and unless it's severely miscalibrated, nobody should be noticing. big black turnout posted:Part of it is that rate limiting posting and consuming are being conflated.

Hardcastlemccormik posted:If I were to map his decision making onto previous idiot narcissistic bosses I’ve had in the past, Musk thinks that scalpers and bots are a huge issue, with almost zero evidence, and start making up “””solutions””” that make no sense to combat that, like rate and view limiting. If anything, the general instability of the product is probably going to cause Musk to make more unhinged phantom problem/solutions. His decisionmaking reminds me mostly of Eddie Lampert, the guy who destroyed Sears by basically doing various things to screw over everyone with a financial interest in Sears succeeding while self-dealing, enriching himself, and creating plausible deniability of the whole thing being just bad management. There is basically no decision that he's made since taking over that doesn't track with intentionally destroying the company, and there are valid reasons for someone to do that, but I think Elon's motives are more that he's a narcissistic douche with too much money and he figures that since he bought it, then it's his toy to play with now, and he really doesn't care if he runs it into the ground if that's the price of never having to listen to anybody else, especially advertisers.

Old Kentucky Shark posted:Anybody can trademark a specific graphical iteration of the letter X. But you have hit upon one of the many, many reasons this is a stupid idea, which is that it's ridiculously hard to branch out if your brand is "X" because so much of the marketplace branding is already taken. Also this sort of thing DID work in the 90's because business were very adamant about having the ".com" part be a part of their corporate identity, but that isn't really a thing any more. Halisnacks posted:While Musk/Twitter/X won’t be the one that does it, why hasn’t one of the real players in Big Tech tried to make a superapp for the west? First, bringing a company into multiple lines of business is usually a bad idea in the first place because it can expose stability-dependent lines of business to financial losses from unstable lines of business. That's especially the case when a lot of the gig economy apps have bled massive amounts of money on marketing. But basically, companies don't like getting into business which are too different from each other because it screws up the financing. Second, the US smartphone ecosystem is dominated by Apple and Apple has a history of undermining or attempting to undermine apps that become too ubiquitous on their platform. Third, the companies that could do it are being dumb. Google is the closest thing to building up an ecosystem of apps, but they've fallen into bad habits of not supporting their products after launch. Meta's products are much closer to what QQ was, but they keep making GBS threads up their user experience. Apple doesn't care because they're a hardware company. Twitter isn't going to do it because it's a shitposting app, WeChat got into money transmission because it was largely for contacting people you know, not posting your brainfarts to random idiots on the Internet. Finally, WeChat is effectively a state-sponsored project, being a big part of the Chinese surveillance apparatus. Apple absolutely can not do to WeChat what they did to Facebook in the US, they will lose access to the Chinese market if they try.
