>>but it’s nothing to do with any intelligence on elon’s part, it’s to do with the regular perception of twitter is from the outside.  
<<My apologies if I was being unintentionally facetious by miswording my intents. I wasn't attempting to specify his general intellect, but rather the wisdom in approaching the matter without adjusting the perception.

>>Conventional business logic may still apply to some degree when every business, news agency, brand still throws your dumb bird mark in the corner of all their printed media, even if the platform is otherwise in freefall.  
<< Basic logic, yes. Complex logic that requires meticulous analysis of risk factors and corresponding governing variables that are subject to dynamic changes- no. Especially in today's market when many companies are sinking, others closed, and a lot of other start-ups never launched.

>>It does create a significant barrier to competitors by externalizing the network effect beyond the actual platform.
<< Agreed.

Even I have to step in on this one @freemo .

It's well-known that young and naive kids have been taking out loans for college that they cannot easily afford to pay back afterwards.

Predatory student loans target individuals who will be desperate enough for tuition money to sign whatever comes back there way- only to exacerbate their inevitable debt with additional charges that bring them further from closing the account. Why? Long-term payments. And when said company decides they need the $, they sell the debt to another company.

None of the implementations that have taken place since the change of ownership have done any good to the company. This is being run using conventional business logic- in a market that is niche and not the type of traditional heirloom that can be run by the rulebooks.

But we all know this. The path is set and now we just wait for it to plummet like an atmospheric balloon.

The idea for Elon is to make sure burdsite takes as long as possible to fail- then twist the failures as being inevitable and seek financial restitution for its failures.

Kinda doesn't work though when the failures are publicly deliberate to anyone who can see past the face value of things.

>> WTF is data scraping?

Is that a serious question? Apologies if sarcasm is lost in post.

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.

The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.

In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.

The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.

This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.

Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.

@shibao

Well, they make good fire starters

@trinsec @johnabs if she's this thin, would the new language model reflect her dimensions by using minimal syllables? Or would it be comvulutedly inflated to explain as much as possible within each word?

@trinsec @johnabs

Yo mama so thin, they had to create new data structures just to conceptualize her.

@trinsec @johnabs

Ah ok, I didn't see any graphs illustrating the equation. Is it because yo mama so big, she can't fit on one?

Somewhere in easter bunny land- petrified eggs take on the form of rocks while maintaining traditional easter egg colors from centuries ago.

Pipe bombs of peace and friendship? With hand-written love letters?
