Time to spread the news that X is rebranding to xvideos

Yeah, I hear you, but this is a person that is unconscious, I mean if they’re using the internet to post stuff, have they even thought or tried to understand one iota of what the hell is going on?
I’ve met some smart people that make these reasoning errors because they want to believe that phenomena just cannot be complex. Not even I’m excluded from these errors, I’m also just human.
I can sympathize with uneducated people and them grasping for fictitious enemies because they lack control of and in their own lives.
What makes things even worse is that this is supposed a pastor, and he’s using his authority to spread this bullcrap.
I’m not immune to this type of misinformed and irrational thinking, but I think my confusion results from more sophisticated material in many cases, that being said I still hold irrational ideas around conspiracies, but I don’t hold them as gospel, merely as possibiliry.
Unfortunately even us educated people might not be spared when generative AI begins to rewrite our history in each of our 5 senses and leaves us no way to look back in time to find the ground truth.

If this works then whomever is being convinced, should be convinced, as it clarifies where the idiocy-non-idiocy line is.

Anyone can collect the data anyway, and I’m sure at least one person out there is already harvesting our Fediverse data.

Dear lord save us from this way of life. Sounds miserable, filled with shame and self-disregard.
I know it’s probably said in irony, but it’s chilling.
- Comment on One year after being bought for $44 billion, X is worth $19 billion 1 year ago:
Yeah, I meant this more generally.
I’ve been with a very frugal start-up for many years and it’s amazing what a small team can get done compared to larger companies.
I think the fact that Twitter is able to run with so much fewer staff probably points to how bloated they were.
I think Twitter’s stock price was a huge bubble waiting to burst anyway.
Maybe things will turn around if we give X some time. I’m against platforms like what Musk is building with X, I don’t like their stickiness and the fact that the walls between functions are blurred and data can consequently flow between them. They become monopolies; they begin to regulate and discriminate against their users however they see fit and ultimately leave you with little real choice.

There’s a lot of drama around him, and some because of his own stupidity and pot stirring, but maybe the world could do with more like him.
Though he may not be self-made in the sense of lifting himself out of poverty into success. He does work pretty damn hard to forward his companies and the goals he sets, so that’s admirable.
Surely a big reason he gets so much flak is because he enjoys being in the public eye, unlike Bezos, for example.
Public figures like Musk draw an annoying and undeserved amout of attention, though. I mean there’s so much else happening in the world more worthy of our time, but that doesn’t generate ad-revenue now does it?
