It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.

    Unfortunately, looks like buying Twitter was a very effective choice if you take profit off the priority list

      I mean, yeah. That was the entire point of him buying it: to control one of the biggest social media networks ever, and to use that to push and pull the public discourse however he wanted, in the interest of being a kingmaker. And it fucking worked.

        and sadly, the amount of people who use chatgpt to try and get factual information, is quite high… which makes this even more terrifying. It’s about systematically gaining control of communication and information.

          There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.

          If he gets it then clearly it will be the Confederate States ChatGPT.

            Do you mean LLM’s or other means to get factual info?

            It seems to me that LLM’s are not a very good way to get factual information due to limitations of the technology (models try to write as plausible text as possible, not as factually correct as possible) Yet using search engines is a pain due to how many ChatGPT-generated SEO optimized websites are there, which are written not by experts in their fields, but random copywriters. I really have no idea where to get truth about anything at this point.

            Are they as popular, or the default use. How many “alternatives” are actually just piping through chatgpt.

            Controlling information means getting control of the defaults, the ones people are used to using.

      Even if you don’t take profit off the list, it could well be that he had more financial success in these other companies because he uses twitter as promotion and propaganda platform…
