A few weeks ago, X’s director of engineering, Haofei Wang, said the upcoming change is meant to protect users’ public image — because “many people feel discouraged” to like “edgy” content.

Oh my god, he’s trying to make it Reddit.

I feel bad for laughing at this one… lol

I agree with this 100%

I used to love wallowing in bad news, but it just got to the point it was having more of a negative impact than it’s worth. I still pay attention to what’s going on, it just doesn’t need to be via an IV bag all day so I filter most of it out now.

It’s a valid question, yet you get downvoted…

“I demand the freedom to prevent others from doing things I don’t like! 🤬”

The same ones who still pay for AOL

Not stupid, just pointless

Stolen. (as to say I’m stealing it)

I can see it

He looks like if Peter Dinklage had a baby with John Krasinski

They’re trashing our rights! TRASHING!

Yeah, 3 is -rough-

I loved it in its day, but it did not age well.

It’s all over. Do a search for “end times prophecy”

End Timers on youtube are alive and well, they have all just started saying it’s “imminent.” instead of throwing out predictions.

End Times youtube is one hell of a rabbit hole though. Would recommend!

I don’t know if this counts, but I’d say the Enlightenment. It was a discovery in that we discovered a new way to interpret the world.

I think there is kind of a glass ceiling when you talk about fire, plumbing, electricity and so on. Each one was a necessary stepping stone to get us where we are, but without any one of them, we wouldn’t be here.

The Enlightenment gave us a brand new sense of autonomy as a species, which in turn has given us a greater amount of control over “Destiny.”

This is what we get for conflating a persons talent and ability with their net worth

That was a whole lot of assumptions about me. That, with the emotional language being used tells me that this interaction isn’t going anywhere useful or productive, so I’mma go ahead and step out.

It reads to me like you think these companies are entitled to a user base. They aren’t. Just because it costs money to run a service, it does not mean we have to accept the price they charge or the anti consumer practices.

Same thing I said to the reply above yours…

I know it sounds cheesy and cliche, but we have to stop being defeatists about it. If enough of us stop and are able to convince -anyone- else to stop with us, we can win. If we don’t, we lose. We -just- need to get some momentum.

It really is as simple as that. This goes for AI, politics, anything.
