Does becoming monetized affect the way the platform treats your account?

Would it benefit me to drop out? https://t.co/Il2Eqz6rXH

@Therichardralph @brockpierson With all due respect, I cannot agree with the idea that he did a good job.

I've dealt with many things as a paying user of this platform that I shouldn't have had to deal with had be been doing a good job.

And I'm far from the only one.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to pass the torch and demote myself to my natural state: a poster. I'll be stepping back from leading product for 𝕏 and will continue on as an advisor.

Serving the X community has been the privilege of a lifetime. X is, and will remain, the most important communication technology in history. But running this app is a 24/7 job and it's now time for me to take a breather.

The app is seeing unprecedented growth in new users & engagement. We continue to break records every month. We've climbed 70 spots in the App Store since this time last year.

And in the last 400 days, we rebuilt almost every aspect of X: the Timeline, the Android app, onboarding, notifications, chat and more.

We also launched nearly 30 new products while protecting the integrity of the town square: becoming the first app to show Country-of-Origin on profiles and mounting defenses against AI bots. There's certainly much more work to be done, but our foundation is stronger than ever.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible team here. The next leaders will take X to even greater heights with @benjitaylor on design, @singhai on core product engineering and @dinkin_flickaa on mobile engineering -- among many other great people.

Thank you to Elon and the X team for welcoming me into the company. See you on the Timeline.

@mattwensing PMI has a new cert for "Managing AI."

I've finally decided to take the PMP exam after putting it off for a LONG time (and having done the contact hours three times).

I wonder if this new AI one is worthwhile.

Full disclosure, I am not a fan of PMI AT ALL.

@edsocra Exactly.

They're all suited to things that are not novel or complex.

But once that changes, you really are proceeding at your own peril.

[Sente @Sente_us]

@edsocra I am normally a step or two ahead of whatever model I am using when I am working on something so I will normally catch it.

But inevitably, they will be an absolute bastard and sneak something in.

It's scary because they will say it with absolute certainty.

All of them do this.

[Sente @Sente_us]

Well said.

I completely agree with what you said, and honestly, I’m sorry that we are stuck in this kind of loop.

Once, I expressed my frustration under a post because an artwork that, in my opinion, had no real depth or story had sold for an extremely high price. The collector replied to me: “Instead of spending your time criticizing this work and wondering why it sold, spend that time trying to get your own work promoted by important people in this space.”

I answered: “That is exactly the problem. Many of the so-called important people in this space have created their own circle, and they keep supporting each other. Not even once has anyone taken the time to like or repost a physical artwork that we spent a month creating with so much effort and love.”

Sometimes I see influential people in this space supporting works that I honestly cannot understand where they fit in the history of art.

If some people choose to use unfair or questionable methods, that is their choice. But please don’t question the dedication, time, and passion of artists who are genuinely creating from their hearts.

I am here every single day. I create, I learn, I support others, and I keep trying. But I have never truly been seen in the Ethereum ecosystem. And I absolutely refuse to believe that the reason is simply that my work is not good enough.

I’m not saying every piece I create is perfect or the greatest artwork in the world. But I believe the value of art is not only measured by followers, famous collectors, or being part of a certain circle. Sometimes the problem is not the artwork sometimes people are just looking in a different direction.

@JinxLovesCats We’re a week into August already 😖

LLM providers should reset usage limits whenever an outage prevents customers from using the service. This aligns incentives.

But it looks like Anthropic is done with resets.

Good morning to everyone who used and loved Winamp

[Sente @Sente_us]

@VIBEQUIRKLABS @ComfyUI Grok Imagine definitely gives more leeway than most when it comes to prompt moderation.

Most others will refuse, and the chatbot based generators will lecture you on “safety.”

@B_Chaos_ You need to make a video from this.

With your permission, I’d like to play with this today.

I must admit, I thought you were AI.

But the consistency of your tattoos from shot to shot and the color of your hair and the very unique shape of your face, and especially your lips, are not things that any AI model is capable of generating consistently.

You’re pretty—and real.

If someone has to tell you they're an alpha...

they're probably not.
