lmao poor little elon all the mean adults yelling at him

Lmao I wonder what the 3 remaining advertisers think about their advert spend being shared with literal nazis because it's in a highly engaged tweet about pro nazi hate speech

Extremely excited for tweetfarming to become a thing, this sort of activity has never caused the death of a platform before!

ok sure "hey who's the current least successful person in the social media space, famously fucking up their unprofitable website? musk, right? let's do what he's doing"

Heads up! ⚠️

"Honda issued a "Do Not Drive" warning for 8,200 model year Acura & Honda vehicles with unrepaired Takata air bag inflators in US.

The urgent warning covers various 2001-2003 model year Honda Accord, Civic CR-V & Odyssey, Pilot and Acura 3.2CL and 3.2 TL vehicles w so-called "Alpha" inflators.

The NatHighway Traffic Safety Admin said owners of those vehicles should not drive them until they get repairs, warning "the risk to vehicle occupants is dire." https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/honda-issues-do-not-drive-warning-8200-us-vehicles-over-air-bag-risks-2023-02-03/

The question shouldn't be "Why do Black folk see racism in everything?"

The question should be "Why do white folk not see any of this?"

The answer to the better question is of course, that there is an information delta between "what Black folk know about racism" and "what white folk know about racism."

Racist people don't want you to know any of this stuff. Because some people, on reading this stuff, say, "Sounds bad. We should maybe change things to be less bad?"

Florida: post-apocalyptic living today!

#Twitter has banned #Movetodon from the API, so it no longer works.

Fedifinder still works, so that's an option at least for a little while.

The 19th Century cholera outbreak in London was solved by public, not individual, action. Almost no one believed Dr. John Snow, an obstetrician, who said the Broad Street pump was the source of the disease. But, town officials decided to take the handle off the pump, making it impossible to draw water. Had they instead asked everyone to live with cholera and take individual action only if they cared to do so, thousands more would've perished.

“Tactical patience." Great article about how a Texas election official works with sincere believers of voter fraud myths to help counter their false perceptions and conspiracy theories about the election process. https://texas.votebeat.org/2022/11/14/23454111/heider-garcia-tarrant-county-election-transparency

i think before elon acquired twitter they had released a new api and were going to try to do creative new things to attract all the developers that got sick and tired of twitter fucking over developers.

this is the death knell for it (developer wise). imagine making developers pay for an api that is shite after they previously got screwed over by the company. no one is going to build anything useful especially now that the population is slowly creeping over to terminally online chuds.

AOC on removing Omar from committee assignments:

“Don't tell me that this is about a condemnation of antiSemitic remarks when you have a member of the Republican caucus who has talked about Jewish space lasers and also elevated her to some of the highest committee assignments in this body…

This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America.”

✅ Someone tell me how antisemitic Republicans are also pro Zionist ?! ✅

Conservatives twist DirecTV's fee dispute with #newsmax into #censorship battle

#conservative politicians continue to complain about #DirecTV dropping #newsmax and accuse the company of media censorship. The accusations ignore DirecTV's efforts to replace the channel with another conservative opinion and commentary TV network.

What was done to @BostonJoan is frightening. We're in a race to study how and why social media is so vulnerable to misinformation so we can make these systems safer. We need her research, and we need HER. What a black mark for academic freedom.

Spoiler: None of the linked essay was written by ChapGPT. https://slate.com/technology/2023/02/chat-gpt-cheating-college-ai-detection.html

It's 2023. "Gosh, we didn't realize how people would misuse this" just isn't believable anymore.

Bare minimum, with any new tech:
1) How would a stalker use this?
2) What will 4chan do with this?

And don't release, not even as alpha or beta, before mitigating those risks.

Apple’s new algorithm to detect whether someone has been in a car accident is wreaking havoc for 911 call centers this ski season. Yet another example of a good idea from a technology company in theory that has problems in practice. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/03/health/apple-watch-911-emergency-call.html
