@w7voa AND researchers will be unable to see how #EMuskovy will be using #AIBots to influence elections. Think Cambridge Analytica 2.0…

@jerry why do you think #EMuskovy bought #Twitter and then fired anyone who could throttle his ability to create the worlds most efficient disinformation machine? Imagine what this guy will do with this kind of capability to influence popular opinion and hence election results, financial markets etc. All while using individual’s addiction to social exposure/interactions so that they pay for it with money, content and connections… He’s betting on everyone’s gullibility.

#TwitterMustDie

@feditips does this mean you can pay #EMuskovy to get verified on #Mastodon ?

@mastodonmigration guess there will be no copyright claims for generative AI training on tweets! Who still thinks #EMuskovy under paid for #Twitter ? Just something to think about for those still using that #SnakePit

#TwitterMustDie

@chenx064 @casjo2022

Why do they remain on that platform after #EMuskovy has continued to make a mockery of everything it once represented? It’s almost the same as remaining in an abusive relationship long past when it has become clearly obvious that it is toxic…

#TwitterMustDie

@Cloudguy @Roundtrip 100% and #EMuskovy no doubt understood that value when going into the purchase. He wants people to think he’s a blundering idiot for overpaying and then destroying the platform but in reality he’s likely disassembling/reassembling the platform to serve his own ends namely - manipulating elections (to avoid regulation in his businesses) and financial markets (to build his fleet of rockets) and he needs to brainwash an army of people ready to take a one way trip to Mars!

@notwhatwethink indeed but #EMuskovy is a dangerous dude with big ideas and a strategic lead on big chunks of critical leading edge tech and fully controls one of the most powerful social media platform’s in existence…oh and don’t forget his WW Satellite ISP!

@notwhatwethink thought you were talking about #EMuskovy until the last line but fits the other a-hole as well…

@jeffjarvis I’ve been predicting that #EMuskovy bought #Twitter specifically to set up the worlds most sophisticated #MisinformationMachine that will be powered by #AIChatbots to do his personal bidding to manipulate #FinancialMarkets and influence #Elections. Each day I watch this guy in action I become more convinced that I am right… truly scary!

@HilliTech if not yet then soon I expect. I predict #EMuskovy will unleash some type of #ChatGPT BOT army to influence financial markets and elections. You thought Russian troll farms & Fox News were bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet! We really need all the responsible adults to get off that platform soon…

#TwitterMustDie

@dangillmor users with large follower counts (most zombie/BOTs) their “vanity index” are “addicted” to their “perceived/actual reach”. This is exactly what #EMuskovy is counting on to hold things together while he builds his own PERSONAL “disinformation machine” that can be used to manipulate election results and financial markets without any interference from pesky employees or independent researchers.

#TwitterMustDie

Assignment Desk: What’s the cash value of the free advertising news organizations give #birdsite by putting share buttons/links in prominent places on every news story? Given the platform’s turn towards … whatever it’s turning towards … is the value in traffic, subscriptions, whatever, gained remotely comparable? #PressFreedom #Journalism #twexit #EMuskovy

@TheConversationUS@newsie.social seems to be failing on both counts- “free speech’” and as a “business”. However what if his real goal was to create the most powerful PERSONALLY CONTROLLED misinformation machine ever seen? #EMuskovy is dangerous…

#TwitterMustDie

@timkmak exactly! #EMuskovy is systematically dismantling that that legitimate use case in preparation for a platform that he can manipulate for his purposes.

#TwitterMustDie

@dwl @Gargron good question! I believe that serious journalists should consider this question as well. Regardless of their organization’s stance because #EMuskovy is very likely to fully weaponize that platform during next year’s election cycle. Now is the time to get setup in the #Fediverse so as not to be part of that “s..t show”.

#TwitterMustDie

@samlitzinger @sanjaysharma it’s the vanity trap. They don’t want to give up potential reach as measured by follower counts (certainly many are bots/trolls). This is what #EMuskovy is betting on to keep enough eyeballs on that platform so that he can use it as a disinformation machine to serve his purposes.

#TwitterMustDie

@caseynewton these individuals are more attached to their perceived reach (based on the number of followers) than to the integrity of their craft. They are giving air to the cesspool #EMuskovy is creating instead of letting it die. This is exactly what he is betting $44B on, that he can keep enough vain “influencers” around to keep enough eyeballs engaged while he brings his disinformation machine to life so he can wield a “digital sledgehammer”to serve his purposes.

#TwitterMustDie

@rebekahtromble @intelwire it appears #EMuskovy does not want researchers to have visibility in how #Twitter is being used/abused. Now you need the be a nation state, large corp or criminal entity that can afford to “pay to play” in order to exploit the sheep who have decided to stay and are willlling to be fleeced in order to have more followers (most of which are bots/trolls)! What a sad joke…

#TwitterAPI
#TwitterBots
#TwitterMustDie

@icevislab @Gargron there’s still many people who are reluctant to give up their addiction to big follower counts but that unfortunately is exactly what #EMuskovy is betting on. That platform is being turned into a #FoxOfSocialMedia snake pit used by one man and his backers/friends to sew discord and control the narrative for their own purposes. That’s why #TwitterMustDie

What’s the difference between #EMuskovy and Rupert Murdock? Not that much other than #EMuskovy will use #AIChatbots to spread his lies and turn #Twitter into the #FoxOfSocialMedia and of course will assume he can’t be sued when these #AIChatbots are doing the lying rather then highly paid #TVTalkingHeads WHAT A GENIUS this guy is!
