AGI will not be happening. No one alive today will figure out hownto build the sparky part that actually matters. Word/pixel aggregators are and will remain fundamentally retarded. Everyone who says otherwise is fed and housed by the ecosystem, or desperately wishes to be.

Your grocery store is funded by a combination of snap payments, customers with fake admin jobs in healthcare, schools, and misc gov't reg departments, and construction crews paid by contractors paid by schools, hospitals, misc gov't reg departments. Every store is shopped by service workers who make a living off people making a living off one of those industries. It's all fake.

[Mitchell Stadtlander @mitchstadt]

@DoomerTapes Government funded healthcare? It's propped up by government funded everything. Every rung on the ladder is (knowingly or unknowingly) propped up by fake government money. The bandaid rip required is going to feel more like superglue.

And sure, you could ask why an aligned emotional or instinctual experience is important for a robot, but you can also ask yourself that of every human that's ever lived and the answer will be the same. "First Principles" require a very specific set of intuitions that require introspection to grasp, something SV cannot do.

We are making a rough simulacra by faking sentimental processing using aggregate human data, but the total sum of all human experiences and understandings weighed against each other is closer to null. This is why the most advanced mathematician we can create still talks like an Indian on Linkedin.

@fleshsimulator @Lumbuhjack USPS is hands down the worst logistics provider available.

Monetization on, say, youtube makes a bit of sense, as it's a bit difficult to edit together a full video of non-copyright footage and audio. It's also easy for them to up the bar on engagement (10 minute minimums, etc). Monetizing a site that's literally famous for its character limit and shitpost photos will never not lead to eternal African engagement bait and there's no amount of correction Nikita will ever do that can fix this.

@nikitabier @hrrcnes Nikita has cursed himself to the eternal game of scam whackamole because he thought issuing payouts on 3 lines of text was a good idea.

@fleshsimulator Arc was getting stale but it rules again. Lmk if you plan to offer reta.

[Mitchell Stadtlander @mitchstadt]

@nikitabier You opened the shit valves and now the river is rising. I mean sure it's brown and smells like shit, but at least a stakeholder metric went up!

@notacat00 @JacobP_003 @anchover_ @3xcalibaneur I'm not a member of PF I couldn't tell you I'm just saying orgs don't exist solely to march and members don't join solely to march. Like Target only has 2000 locations but reports 400k employees. Nobody is out here saying they don't believe those numbers.

[Mitchell Stadtlander @mitchstadt]

@notacat00 @JacobP_003 @anchover_ @3xcalibaneur The answer to my question is the answer to yours, silly.

[Mitchell Stadtlander @mitchstadt]

@notacat00 @JacobP_003 @anchover_ @3xcalibaneur What is your purpose?

@eigenrobot Jokes are legal again but only within the confines of a digital Dollar General.

@eigenrobot Watching Nikita contentify Twitter is like watching a lithium mine tear down the last grove of trees on Earth.

The end result of "content"ification of 5 second content and jpegs is a reversion to slop. It's happening everywhere and nothing will stop it once it's turned on.

[Mitchell Stadtlander @mitchstadt]

The *actual* problem is shitposters on this site got monetized, turning the literal trash they used to post day-to-day into a gray area of who owns it.

[Javi Lopez ⛩️ @javilopen]

The problem is, as soon as we post an original video here, someone can download it, slap their logo on it, and get more views than the original!

Suggestion: add a "Stolen or Recycled Content" report where we can link the original video/creator and heavily penalize offenders.

twitter head of product after converting the whole platform in to a financial bait for tweeting

[Mitchell Stadtlander @mitchstadt]

Enjoy it while it lasts. Head of content is openly admitting to turning this site into an attention-maxing video platform and you will never get an app like Twitter that self sorts with this audience again. They will study these moments in history books.

[Nikita Bier @nikitabier]

I’m going to answer this claim that “X is turning into TikTok” one time only:

• Posts containing videos already make up close to half the impressions on X

• Many videos from top accounts are simply stolen from other users, sometimes 5 years after they originally went viral.

• Our team believes this recycled content has a negative impact on the user experience and the business.

• For the first time, we are providing a functional video editor so some videos on X can finally be original content that doesn’t exist on other platforms

If you are a creator that does not recycle other people’s content, you have the biggest arbitrage opportunity of your career to build an audience here.

The algorithm may take time to recognize you, but when it does, you will climb faster than other account on this app.

[Mitchell Stadtlander @mitchstadt]

@nikitabier So.... yes. You could have just said yes.
