My entire For You page for weeks has been nothing but right-wingers and femcels :scust:
My feed is still about video games, sports, anime, music, movies/tv, good black comedy and left wing shyt. :whew:

However, not much about cars anymore :francis:

I don't use the standard feed anymore for the most part - i just use lists ive created.
Yup. I made the mistake of following a list pushes from one of my follows. Turns out it was a twitter curated list. Realized it was off when I saw a lot of right wing conspiracy spam.

Just going to stick to the ones I create for sports and politics.

Yeah, Elmo's retweets are the only right-wing trash I have to be bothered with at the moment.

Elon so in his feelings from being terminally on Twitter that he's wanting to remove likes and retweets cause he's not getting enough adoration and knob slobbing from his fanboys.

Wish I could have 44 billion to waste like this

:martin:
He's been actively trying to remove the things that makes Twitter, Twitter. He should've been better off making his own X app, as oppose buying Twitter.

i can't articulate how much this all pisses me off without sounding super dramatic, but this motherfukker essentially snatched something that was pretty prominent to my every day life* away from me

* i mean that in the sense i checked it more than any other social media, and for over a decade it was one of my 3 most used apps on my phone, then within a few days of his rule, i just kinda stopped looking and nothing has really stepped up in its place. i quit facebook one day and never looked back. never gave a shyt. there is still a twitter sized hole in my phone and i don't get nearly as much "news" as i used to.

been awhile since anything (non "real" life at least) really felt like that. again, this sounds pathetic and dramatic... but it was like something that had become routine to my day just ceased to exist.

i still check it once or twice a day, but it's a barren wasteland and feels completely different. i hate the c*nt for life.

Elon Musk says xAI will open-source Grok this week​

Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI will open-source Grok, its chatbot rivaling ChatGPT, this week, the entrepreneur said, days after suing OpenAI and complaining that the Microsoft-backed startup had deviated from its open-source roots.

xAI released Grok last year, arming it with features including access to “real-time” information and views undeterred by “politically correct” norms. The service is available to customers paying for X’s $16 monthly subscription.

Musk, who didn’t elaborate on what all aspects of Grok he planned to open-source, helped co-found OpenAI with Sam Altman nearly a decade ago as a counterweight to Google’s dominance in artificial intelligence. But OpenAI, which was required to also make its technology “freely available” to the public, has become closed-source and shifted focus to maximizing profits for Microsoft, Musk alleged in the lawsuit filed late last month. (Read OpenAI’s response here.)

“To this day, OpenAI’s website continues to profess that its charter is to ensure that AGI ‘benefits all of humanity.’ In reality, however, OpenAI has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world: Microsoft,” Musk’s lawsuit alleged.

The lawsuit has ignited a debate among many technologists and investors about the merits of open-source AI. Vinod Khosla, whose firm is among the earliest backers of OpenAI, called Musk’s legal action a “massive distraction from the goals of getting to AGI and its benefits.”

Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, accusing Khosla of “lobbying to ban open source” research in AI. “Every significant new technology that advances human well-being is greeted by a ginned-up moral panic,” said Andreessen, whose firm a16z has backed Mistral, whose chatbot is open-source. “This is just the latest.”





The promise to imminently open-source Grok will help xAI join the list of a number of growing firms, including Meta and Mistral, that have published the codes of their chatbots to the public.

Musk has long been a proponent of open-source. Tesla, another firm he leads, has open-sourced many of its patents. “Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology,” Musk said in 2014. X, formerly known as Twitter, also open-sourced some of its algorithms last year.

He reaffirmed his criticism of Altman-led firm Monday, saying, “OpenAI is a lie.”
