Does the good of broadcasting leftwing ideals to a wider audience outweigh the bad of supplying content and revenue-generating impressions for a billionaire on the far-right? Two months ago.

goatface posted:The adaptive rear wing scales are cool. The controller is a joystick but worse, but then it's presumably only meant for minor adjustments while the self driving would do the rest. The lights are excessive and distracting imo. I could see a case being made for the joystick thing for accessibility maybe? Especially if it's just an A-to-B commute vehicle. It's absolutely a concept car for show, but they really seem to have put thought into making it actually work, and you could probably argue for some of that demo'd tech going into actual production EV's down the line in something less extreme than a "money is no object" iteration. goatface posted:Oh yeah, they're cool, not practical. I'd fear them getting stuck or removed during high speed braking. Yeah, the first thing I thought too was how long till they start breaking? I doubt they're standardized between plates either, so good luck finding a replacement limb and motor for a stuck-open Fin_Plate_05_L.

One of my favorite things I've learned from this thread is that most car manufacturers (and also Google) have developed much better self-driving AI than Tesla, and none of them have marketed it because it's still not good enough to not needlessly kill people. makes you wonder what tesla's problem is, hint, it's elon musk

Halisnacks posted:We are past the point where those figures have an indirect effect on the price of publicly-traded shares, but they do have a more direct effect on revenue. Content —> Engagement —> Revenue. Even if you are posting good content, you are giving your followers more reasons to keep using the platform, and increasing the number of impressions Elon can sell to brands. No achievable amount of revenue is going to offset how much Elon is already losing every day, and every shitpost has a chance of being the one that corrupts the database beyond repair. I got suspended already, and since I'm never giving Elon my phone number to start my "countdown", it's basically permanent. I'm not even saying "stay on twitter", I'm saying "call Elon Musk a stupid uncool rear end in a top hat in his replies until they throw you out."

Part of pthe issue I have with "leaving Twitter starves it of impressions and revenue" is failing to recognize that the nature of Twitter has changed: it's no longer a (barely viable) going business concern, it is now one pathetic assholes vanity project money pit. "Just leave" makes sense on Facebook or LinkedIn or YouTube, which are still trying to be businesses. Twitter is not.

I disagree, in Musk's view he's absolutely trying to make Twitter a profitable business. It's just that it's become plainly evident to the rest of us that he doesn't have the first goddamn clue of how to go about doing that.

Like Zaslav, he's following the right-wing-goldfish-memory playbook of "sell off all our current assets and cut all staff headcount, that'll reduce costs like nobody's business" Much in the same way that cutting taxes helps the economy

I think the fact that twitter is privately owned simply means in no way is it 'too big to fail'. If Elon does increase the character limit to 4000 or whatever, it will hasten the demise of twitter's relevance. A real Marshall McLuhan case study going on here.

Keeps insisting that it's going to be out in a few months, despite the fact that the materials and design are physically incapable of passing a NHTSA crash test.

shoeberto posted:It is likely something that can be "implemented" fairly easily if you're willing to forego any planning for scale or maintenance and just yeet it into production. The rollout would be fun to watch. Yeah, Elon's understanding of Twitter can be summed up as "It just serving up 280 characters. How hard can it be?" The user facing stuff with Twitter really is trivial and since from external appearances the character limit is arbitrary, it's possible to implement a 4000 character limit in a day. Reality, of course, is that if you just shoot it out like that it's going to break a lot of poo poo including a lot of poo poo that nobody was expecting. Even if it's carefully rolled out with lots of testing and review and input from all departments and a gentle transition and the teams handling it hadn't been pushed to the breaking point due to fulfilling the whims of a mad child emperor, something is going to fail in a totally unexpected way. But how hard can it be? It's just changing one value, right?

I disagree as well. The smart money is that he will fail, but Elon is definitely trying to make it a viable business. Think of the (even non-financial) rewards of proving wrong everyone who said he bought it at an insane valuation and would never succeed in making it profitable. I don’t know the unit economics of the business, but I assume it is not losing money on each incremental dollar of revenue (happy to be proven wrong on this point). So back to my original point, I’m worried that there are quite a lot of otherwise good people who are complicit in prolonging the lifespan of a platform that is becoming a cesspool for the alt-right/far-right and one of their leaders, who incidentally is the CEO of that platform.
