Lawsuit protection and the pairing of tweet data with internal demographics data? There's no telling what Twitter knows about its users from being installed on their phones(geocoding, network analyzation, etc.) to analyzing their advertisement engagement to sentiment analysis of word choice and it goes on and on.

As stupid simple as the tweeting/re-tweeting mechanisms are, that doesn't mean they don't have serious targeted marketing algorithms and other high end data analysis tools behind the scenes. It would be silly if they didn't.

He's kicking into x.ai. There are good reasons to think that he bought Twitter to use its massive data-set of human language to train an ai - NOT because he gave/gives a shit about Twitter as a profitable company.

If it becomes a paid competitor to OpenAI, it solves its profitability issues without enhancing "Twitter" as a social media site. Anything he said about improving Twitter was likely a lie designed to prolong usage of the platform and enhance the dataset.

Yeah, I was going to say they just left a default alphabetical sort to their global droplist component and called it a day. Probably works fine in most contexts, but this one - not so much.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

That's why articles like this are a waste of time. Young voters can be pissed all they want, but they won't vote Republican, so it doesn't matter.

There's a Center that voted for Obama, then Trump, then Biden. They're the only ones worth convincing because they're the only ones that will go either way.

I didn't download this, but if I had, it would be because:

1. People already have cars and already need infrastructure, which is (in most cases) already in place, but requiring maintenance for safety reasons
2. It's only zero-sum if you can't afford both
3. Public transportation has a bad reputation in the US around safety, hygiene, etc. Not everywhere, some cities do a great job. Unclear where this meme is taking place.
4. I can cross state lines in my car, but not with a tram, making it less versatile - I can go anywhere I want, in fact.
5. I control the heating, air, music, occupancy, etc. of my car - Not so on public transportation.
6. I control my car's schedule to the minute. No interstitial travel to get to it, no waiting for it to arrive.
7. Some people use a car as a form of self expression. I don't, but there's plenty who do.
8. You may have to share a seat with someone. Plenty of folks don't want to do that.

Shit I just saw what community I'm in. Sorry, ya'll - I didn't realize. I'm new here. 9. They down-voted because this showed up on someone's feed that didn't subscribe specifically to a community that already hates cars.

I use Ryobi for everything because they're affordable, I already have the batteries, and I'm not a professional, so they don't get used every day.

An argument that, at 6.5mo of gestation, is well outside the moral limits of the vast majority.

She took something that aborted the baby in the third trimester(28 weeks), well after Nebraska's 20 week window for legal abortions. 6.5 months into a 9 month process.

The baby could have survived if delivered, with specialized care, which puts it well outside of the "clump of cells" argument.

It's bad, but it's also an absurdly specific edge case that doesn't suggest the wholesale legal slaughter of alphabet people like the previous poster suggested with their vague comment.

I'll try it. I don't really care about data privacy very much and neither do a lot of other people until the data receiver is someone they dislike.

How much data is Reddit, Tumblr, Uber, Snapchat, WhatsApp, AirBnB or any other app getting? Who cares as long as I don't hate their CEO.

Good. DM me. I'll tell you why I downvoted your shitpost.
