It is the Year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four, and people are still using Elon’s dumpster fire of a pro-Nazi website. Why?
Social lock-in
They trying to out do Microsoft’s racist bot?
Well. I mean. Look who heads Twitter
Microsoft should bring it back for memes
Cheer’s on calling it Twitter
I was thinking about my Reddit account. How it’s really old and has tens of thousands of mean, cranky ass bad takes, half of which are probably not true or I wrote when I was high, depressed, or stressed about events beyond my control.
Those are all getting scraped by Google right now to be rolled up into the permenant knowledge base of their next massive AI model. You’re welcome!

That was the era frat rap was not just allowed to exist, but with some regularity got mainstream popularity. The great irony is two big names from that space, Asher Roth and Mac Miller went on to do some really thoughtful and insightful work, and I think their journey of awakening to the harm their privilege did is what a lot of us went through. Like. I don’t think the majority of us were thinking enough about the importance of countercultural music movements. Now google and reddit get to be the kings of that toxic outdated way of thinking.
The bad news is… That toxic outdated way of thinking benefits them. And now they’ll have a big data model that can post real seeming messages and amplify those shitty takes a lot of us grew out of
Most hateful AI ever.
Anyone who cared would already be off Twitter.
This will be Tay all over again.
Tay didn’t start out a Nazi
Okay then this one has a headstart then :)
Good luck with all the inane shitposts.
Ugh, too many pixels, please tone it down
Already were through cheq.ai
Twitter is effectively in control by the IDF, former members of the IDF and the WEF
