The acid test for any two competing socioeconomic systems is which side needs to build a wall to keep people from escaping? That’s the bad one!

@tapbot_paul I'd absolutely love a Tweetbot replacement for Mastodon, I'll be an active beta tester if you have a spare invitation to Ivory. 🤘🏼

@tapbot_paul This is making the rounds this morning... https://t.co/2IO3ZWhRkF

Just leaving Twitter HQ code review

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means

[Brian Partridge @bpartridge]

@robertgraham This was my first thought, CFAA...

[Arieh Kovler @ariehkovler]

Musk has just banned live reporting and basically all tweeting about stuff that's happening. All so he could justify ex post facto banning someone he publicly promised not to ban for violating a policy he hadn't invented yet.

[Levi Fishman @levifishman]

Twitter suspended the account following Elon's jet but not the one following Jeff Bezos' jet. Even though they do the same thing and are run by the same guy. Why does @elonmusk hate free speech when the speech is about Elon Musk?

[☀️ Jon Schwarz ☀️ @schwarz]

On Sunday I emailed Ella Irwin, Twitter's "Product & Trust leader," to ask if this purported leaked screenshot was real. She hasn't responded. Given that @elonjet has now been permanently suspended, I guess we can assume it was. https://t.co/AjR1IpSHSn

FUSION ENERGY BREAKTHROUGH: US scientists have made one of the most significant leaps in decades in the search for the Holy Grail of energy - limitless, carbon free power - by achieving net energy gain in a fusion reaction

Huge scoop by @thomas_m_wilson

[Outspoken™️ @Out5p0ken]

Hey remember when Trump let prisoner Maria Butina go home to Russia and not swapping her for Paul Whelan? It’s almost as if he was on team Russia.

@jonostrower He said as much at the end of the thread, it was just for fun with the star matching https://t.co/BqiaKzpWoF

[John McElhone @Johnmcelhone]

9. The press conference to reveal the aircraft was held here last week so we can confirm the location. A guess likely would have landed someone in the same location but fun anyway to star match. I'm sure this entire process could be done with just stars and no google maps as well

[Kayvon Beykpour @kayvz]

@bariweiss wow. did you even read the blog post? We never denied de-amplifying things. In fact we made clear that we do rank. We defined exactly what we meant by “shadow banning” (b/c there are many definitions) and made very clear that we didn’t do *that*…

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.

Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.

You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.

Calling it: @OpenAI's ChatGPT / GPT-3 API is going to fundamentally disrupt contact centers. I dug into this over the weekend with @twilio's Flex contact center platform and built out a demo of agent assist with GPT-3:

[Renee DiResta @noUpside]

Big if true. Looking forward to seeing the data release proving this; it seems twitter would have to update its algorithmic amplification paper that found the opposite across 7 countries in 2021. https://t.co/SV8pl7jMK3

[Tom Coates @tomcoates]

@elonmusk Just one bit of acknowledgement that you maybe didn’t handle this brilliantly, after which you could reassure everyone that you’d listen and be responsible. Everything would get 1000x times better overnight. But you’d rather destroy everything than be embarrassed for a second.

[Ben Sandofsky @sandofsky]

12 years ago, Twitter’s office used a Mac Mini to tunnel into the servers. One day, an IT guy found it in the closet.

“Anyone know who owns this?”

“Unplug it. Someone will show up.”

Everyone lost access to servers. Huge crisis. It became known as the “Load Bearing Mac Mini.”

[Andrew Eiche @buddingmonkey]

Watching crypto sink after hitting an economic iceburg, seeing the GOP eat pavement after getting exactly what they wanted, and seeing emperor Elon has no clothes is too much schadenfreude after a 6 years of bad news.

Now I'm paranoid there's something lurking around the corner

[Brian Partridge @bpartridge]

@tsunamino *record scratch* Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here...
