Makes you wonder how many others are lies. It also makes you wonder if the volume of claimed achievements is meant to make it harder to spot the lies. Honestly, the first bullet point they listed was the rebrand, which is thus far and abject failure, since everybody still calls it Twitter and has added no value to anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headshuck Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Remember, this is the same group that thinks Musk should have provided Starlink to Ukraine’s military to launch a major attack on Russia’s naval fleet possibly provoking a major escalation of the war.

jross Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 Oops. In March 2021, FBI Director Christopher Wray denied that there was any evidence of Antifa involvement on January 6. On my Twitter feed... Activist Antifascist John Earle Sullivan was convicted for a role on J6.

mspart Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 It is still twitter.com. Put in x.com and it converts to twitter.com. So it is not X, formerly known as twitter. It is still twitter even after all these months. I would think it would be the other way around. Put in twitter.com and it transfers you to x.com. I find this interesting. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it unlikely that technology native companies like Apple, Oracle, and IBM do not know how to, or do not chose to, use the adjacency controls. It is more likely that the controls do not perform as expected. Also given that Twitter's response was to make the accounts posting hateful content no longer monetizable suggests that the failure is on Twitter's part.

jross Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 Companies will hire someone for $100K a year and not spend $5K to educate them to be more productive... so... ...do companies pay employees to configure Twitter words they want to avoid associating with? This requires constant garden work. When IBM found ads near posts they disagreed with, did they adjust their configuration? IBM is paying exponentially more to advertise than it would cost to manage the configuration. I want to believe there are words that X should provide by default... but what are they, and who chooses them? Regex-type filtering is brute force... It needs AI that also knows when words are used negatively... and has some 'trust' factor based on the poster. As a company owner, I want to target my audience with inclusion words and other filters more than exclusion words. Oracle might want to target conversations about databases for example, and roles that talk about software applications... along with popular people and posts.

And you know this in the case of the above companies how? ...do companies pay employees to configure Twitter words they want to avoid associating with? Why would you assume the marketing department would not configure their Twitter settings? This requires constant garden work.

How much do they pay to manage the configuration? I want to believe there are words that X should provide by default... but what are they, and who chooses them?
